As we gear up for this amazing event, I’ll be bringing you author interviews so you can get to know the attending authors in more detail! There are lots and lots of authors for you to discover, not to mention, hundreds if not thousands of books! Why not grab a cuppa and sit back and relax! All while hearing more about our writers and their writing lives, inspirations – and maybe even a secret or two!
What is the first thing people should know about you?
I’m an extremely fussy eater so never expect me to say yes to a meal out lol!
Tell me which genre or trope you are most well-known for writing.
Romantic suspense.
Name a book you’ve written that you wish more people had read, and why.
Broken is my only book baby so far, but I’d love for more people to read it. So far, (as far as I know) no one has seen the twist coming & I’d love to find a reader who does!
What is your favourite book (not your own), and why?
Jane Eyre or The Tenant of Wildfell Hall. I just love the classic style of writing & the feminist elements of the stories.
Are you one of those authors for whom music is EVERYTHING and without it you’d never write?
100% My writing playlist is an absolute necessity.
Is your desk/writing space tidy or messy?
I write on the couch so there are times I’m surrounded by children & toys, but for the most part, I keep it tidy.
Are you an introvert or extrovert? Or something else…?
Somewhere in between. I’m really shy & quiet when I first meet people & I’m not great in crowds, but once I get to know people or feel comfortable enough, I never shut up!
What is your advice to authors just starting out?
Don’t give up & enjoy the journey. Write the story you want to write not what is expected. It’s a hard slog this publishing/marketing thing, but be proud of every milestone you achieve – the smallest wins matter.
Where is your favourite place to go on holiday?
A cruise to anywhere. Even though I can’t swim & hate water, I adore cruises.
When you’re as old as Gandalf the Grey, how many books do you think you might have written?
Ha! At the rate I’m going, 3 at the most lol, but I’d like to think a lot more!
Who is the most famous person you’ve ever met?
David Boreanaz & a bunch of other Buffy the Vampire Slayer/Angel cast members.
What did you always want to be when you were growing up?
A mechanic & with all the car trouble I’ve had over the years, I wish I had!
Who is your biggest cheerleader?
My mum & best friend.
Thank you so much for your time, Kerry! To find out more click the pic!
