What did you want to be when you grew up?
When I was little I wanted to be a teacher. I
used to assemble all my teddy bears in circle and teach them (I can’t honestly
remember what). I also used to keep notebooks with grades, yeah for the teddies,
and stage tests.
2.)
Coffee, tea or hot chocolate?
Coffee… Caramel Macchiato to be precise, it wins
over hot chocolate big time for me. And I hate tea, always have.
3.)
What genre do you typically read? Why?
I have some favorites. Romantic Comedy, the same
genre I write. I love Historical Fiction, especially middle ages. Always had a
weak spot for castles, knights, and dames. Fantasy is another favorite, and
maybe the widest genre as it spaces from Harry Potter to Game of Thrones and
Throne of Glass to a number of other series more or less sci-fi. And I enjoy
classics, Dumas, Austen, Twain, Stocker…
4.)
Share a favourite childhood memory.
The day my mom let me adopt my first kitten. He
was a tiny little strip of black and white fur, so I called him Strip. Lately,
as he grew up and got very fat, his name evolved to Roll. I loved that cat so
much. He slept in my bed every night and was the best of friends.
5.)
Do you have any shameless addictions? ie. Tea, Books, Shoes, Clothes?
Cat pictures/videos/stories on the internet/social media, I can
get lost in those for hours. Also books. But having an eReader makes it easier
to pretend I’m not a bookworm, you know, less shelf space… I can’t really see
how many books I own.
6.)
What do you think is the biggest challenge of writing a new book?
For me is the middle part. I usually start typing
away the scenes I clearly imagined in my head and when those run out the real
struggle begins… Then somehow when I pass that middle hump point the rest flows
nicely.
7.)
Do you aim for a set amount of words/pages a day?
No. I’m a moody writer. I can only write when I
feel like it, so I have good writing days and horrible writing days. But I
never give myself a target, I let the story and ideas free to flow (or not).
8.)
What are your thoughts on writing a book series?
Well, I’ve started two recently so I have a lot
to say about this topic. When writing series with a romance theme, I like to
shift the focus on different couples for each book. I’d find it hard to write
an entire series about the same couple. My books usually end with a happily
ever after and in order to write another book about the same couple I’d sort of
have to ruin that. Anyway, in my two series I use two slightly different
approaches to keep the romance new and exciting.
For my romantic comedy series, First Comes Love,
each book in the series can be read as a standalone, but each of the main
characters has been introduced in a previous book. This way we get snippets of
what’s happening to previous-books characters, but the protagonists and story
are brand new. My new adult series, Just Friends, is more interconnected and
books should be read in order. But still the focus on the main couple/s shifts,
and since the characters are much younger they have more flexibility to change
relationships and have the romance evolve in different directions.
Twenty-nine-year-old Blair
Walker is a girl with a plan, or more a girl with a list. A list
of dos and don’ts to live the perfect life, land a dream career, and marry Mr.
Right.
When Blair loses her job and gets dumped by her boyfriend all
in one day, she starts to wonder if she’s had it all wrong. And what better way
to find out than experience everything the list forbade?
With hilarious consequences, Blair will discover some items
are trickier to tick off than she’d thought…
A laugh out loud romantic comedy perfect for fans of Lindsey
Kelk, Sophie Kinsella, and Mhairi McFarlane. First Comes Love is a series
of interconnected romantic novels. However, each book in the series can be read
as a standalone novel.
