Inspiration


Writers: What books inspired you to write your first novel?

Mine were Legacy of Lies by Elizabeth Chandler and The China Garden by Liz Berry and obviously Twilight, due to the romance.

Readers: What do you look for in a paranormal romance story?

I look for suspense, quality writing, easy flow of sentences, voice, maybe a Gothic tone, dreamy prose, great description, handsome and mysterious brooding heros with a strong independent protagonist.  First person narrative, and realistic characters. Plenty of romance, and swoon worthy dialogue.

    My first book was inspired by X.Men and Philosophy. Not your average inspirational book.

    Interesting mix. Is this the book I have been beta reading? Not heard of the second novel...

    My daughter and a dream I had inspired The White Aura.

    As for reading...I love romance and the hints of supernatural, but not so much that it's unbelievable. I love the stories I've been beta reading for you. Hopefully I'll get to read the whole thing one of these days!

Book promoting

I've managed to make some British writer friends who have got me attending some comic cons this year as a guest speaker on the author panel and as a merchandise seller on a stall. Very excited to perhaps be in front of an audience again, and as a writer. I hadn't expected this in the slightest. I'm very thankful to the Universe for making this a reality. I'm also attending a world book day event to try and give print copies of my books. I will also perhaps be on the panel and will perhaps get to read an excerpt from my book. I've asked my friend to read it with me and she is happily willing to. Now, my friend (who I'm also taking with me to film all my adventures) and I, just need to go shopping to find what to wear. Happy writing all. :)

I need to start posting a lot more on here. Since the cover reveal for The Lebrus Stone is on Tuedsay with the amazing ladies at Lovingthebooklaunch, I thought I could add some character photos and the soundtrack on here, rather than wait to throw them at promotional events. For now here's Cray and Crystal:

New layout and update

Okay, so here is my new layout. It's good but not great, but it will do for now. At least until I have some theme going. I am currently having four of my books edited. The first hundred pages of one very long teen paranormal romance and fifty pages of my other three novels. This is so that I can decided whether I want to submit before attempting to self publish. My editor did me an amazing free sample. She has now been enlisted as the editor for all the books, and I hope she can help me to improve the beginnings of each, which I believe to be the weakest. Introducing characters and story-lines doesn't seem to be my strength. I prefer my writing from midway, where all the action begins. :) I am getting the first half of editing back Sunday. Eeek!! My editor says she loves my story, and can't wait to read the rest of my novels. I'm finding that hard to believe. Maybeif I wasn't paying her to edit my novel, I would be smiling more about that comment. But he
