My newest release: Truly Madly Greekly http://ow.ly/LkFvZ

Describe your books in 3 words: Only 3! Eek! Romantic, emotional, escapism.

Genre: Contemporary romance/women’s fiction

Favorite thing about your genre: Writing about real issues but with a guaranteed happy ever after.

A genre that I would love to write: Suspense/thriller

One thing readers would be surprised to know: I have a phobia about plasters in swimming pools.

When writing, night owl or morning person? Morning person. I have two young daughters so writing time is dictated by the school day.

When I’m writing I must have: Tea!

Pantser or Plotter? Pantser – where’s the fun in detailed plotting?!

I’m currently reading: Three books! Don’t Turn Around – Caroline Mitchell, The Island – Victoria Hislop and Kissed in Paris – Juliette Sobanet

My guilty pleasure: Pork scratchings and white wine

My favorite cover from my books: Has to be Truly Madly Greekly

Which character from your books do you most identify with: That’s a toughy! Probably a little bit of all of the heroines if I’m honest. I think Freya Johnson (Excess All Areas and Public Property) has the closest personal connection. I wrote that first book when I was at a very low time in my life and it was true escapism for me! Plus size heroine meets and falls in love with Hollywood heartthrob – it cheered me up no end!

My number one book boyfriend is: It has to be Jared Marshall from Made in Nashville. Everyone fell in love with him!

My next release: Truly Madly Greekly comes out on 22 May 2015!
