I was born on the 13th, which explains a lot.
I write every day and get twitchy on the days when I’m prevented from writing.
I live by the beach, so you’ll find a beach scene in most of my books sooner or later.
Writing is solitary but that doesn’t make it lonely. My FB and Goodreads friends are fabulous. My writing buddies, fellow authors, are very important to me—lovely, kind, generous people.
I used to carry a notebook EVERYWHERE. I never know when ideas will come to me. These days, I leave a voice memo recording on my phone.
There’s a little part of me in every book I write. The philosophy from ‘Playing in the Rain’ is that you have to make the most of the life you’re given—choose to be happy as much as you can and look for the positive. I don’t always make it, but I do try. I write smart, contemporary romances, with real emotions at the heart of every story.
I’ve written four full-length books with my gorgeous co-author Stuart Reardon, UNDEFEATED, MODEL BOYFRIEND and romcoms GYM OR CHOCOLATE? and THE WORLD ACCORDING TO VINCE, plus a novella TOUCH MY SOUL – more books are planned!
If you’ve seen me at any book signings you’ll know that I support the military charities http://www.felixfund.org.uk/ supporting the men and women who work in bomb disposal, and their families. Sales from SEMPER FI go to support these charities.
I also write romantic comedies with STUART REARDON, everyone’s idea of a leading man – gorgeous to look at and a complete sweetheart. He and his lovely fiancee looked after me in one of my darkest times. And because everyone has dark times, we enjoy bringing the joy with a little light-hearted romcoms.
