Since I have a new book, Secrets, out, I'm going to give away a copy to one lucky person that leaves a comment. You can check out Dee's fabulous review of Secrets here.
So make sure you leave her a comment. I'll pick a winner at the end of the week and announce it on Monday.
Q1) Welcome to my blog, Dee. Please tell us a little about yourself
Of course. I'm Dee, I'm 27 and have 2
children with autism. I live in Newcastle upon Tyne, UK, with my kids and
partner of 8 ½ years. I love to read and always have a book on the go. I also
love to write and hopefully one day soon I can join all you fab authors in
having a book published!
Q2) I should take a road trip to Newcastle soon. It'll be great to see your books published. J Have you always wanted to be an author?
Always. Ever since I was little I wrote stories involving
princes and princesses, and now I'm still writing, just my stories are growing
more now.
I have lots of favorite writers. Jodi Picoult
is a massive influence on me. Her writing style is so unique, and I find she
pulls you right into her stories so easily, but they grip you so tight, all the
way to the end. There are a few authors I have met recently, like you, Doris
O'Connor, Raven McAllan, who have totally influenced my writing. They have all
shown me that I can do it!
Q4) Of course you can! J What is a typical writing day for you is like.
Honestly I don't have a typical writing day!
I write when I can and when I have time. Sometimes I have plenty o f time but
sit down to write, and my mind goes blank. But I try, and if I don't get any
writing done for few days, it' not the
end of the world.
Q5) Let’s talk about your book. Can you tell us a little about it?
Well since I'm still unpublished I can tell
you about my latest WIP. It doesn't have a title yet, but it's about a shifter
getting revenge, a revenge that has waited a long long time.
Q6) Oooh. I'd love to read this. How did you come up with
the idea for this story?
I took part in Siobhan Muir's Thurs Threads
on hr blog 'The Wierd, The Wild and The Wicked'. I followed the story on for
the next Thurs Threads, and decided I liked what I'd written. So now this is my
WIP :)
Q7) What is up next for you?
Up next will be my other shifter novel. It's
called When Nature Calls, and is about a wolf shifter who finds his mate, but
there are complications (as always). You'll have to wait a little longer for
more details :)
Q8) Don't keep us waiting too long, though. Get writing. J Since you started writing what is the best piece of advice you would give to a budding writer?
Keep writing. If you get writers block, try
to read instead. I find this helps with little ideas etc, and pushes the block
to one side after a while. But don't give up. And if anyone tells you that you
cant do it, plug some headphones in so you can't hear them, and rock out to
some Bon Jovi! :)
Q9) What is the next book on your To Read Pile that you are dying to jump into?
I have recently bought Tarnished by Julia
Crouch which I'm dying to read. I absolutely loved Cuckoo, so I'm sure this one
will be good too.
Q10) Is there anything else you would like to add?
Yeah, come check out my blog people! I have
tons of book reviews, authors, competitions, giveaways and I also post my
writing there.
