~ About the author ~
First off I would like to tell you a little bit about me,I am a massive book worm who has been inspired by many talented authors to pursue my own path.
I am a thirty two year old mum to an nine year old wonderful daughter. I am new to the writing scene, and as well as being a mum I run my own small business in massage and holistic therapy's which I started in April 2013. I have not been writing since high school were English was my favourite lesson and I loved writing reports and short stories but I lost touch with it after leaving school and working many bar jobs. I still stayed a massive book worm and love anything from horror, drama and romance to young adult novels. 2013 was were I started making many changes and doing things. I decided to enter a writing completion at which I did not get very far in the competition but by just entering it was the push I needed to carry on writing my first novel lust or love, It has been a bumpy journey but I am very happy that my first novel lust or love will be released very soon through http://www.npuniverse.com/.

1.  When did you first realize you wanted to be a writer?

I used to love to write when I was in high school  when I was around 14 I think that I really got into

my English work, writing story’s and reports for class. After I left school I never had the confidence

to take it any further, work and life took over until I was 31. I decided to make some live changes

and do things that I love to do and writing again was one of them.





2.  How long does it take you to write a book?

Lust or love  is my first novel and took over a year to write . It was going to be a stand alone until

few months ago I decided that  there was more that  could be added to the book, I decided  it could

split it into three parts and im still working on changing parts two and three

I would always say to anybody who wants to write to do it or if you real that you are  in a slump

dreams not anybody else’s.

and I like that now in this day of age that writers can to do so.



15.  What do you think makes a good story?

For me as I like to read anything,the characters have got to be easy to relate to and to like (even if

I  love to hate them) . The story has to grip me and helps if I feel a mix of emotions from start to the

end of any story.



16.  As a child, what did you want to do when you grew up? I wanted to be a teacher,then in my teens I

wanted to be a writer,then late teens to  early adult hood I wanted to own my own bar,Now I love
