Hi Erin! It's so great to have you here - I'm really looking forward to finding out more about you and your work. Wishing you much success with your latest release, A CHRISTMAS WISH - let's start things off with my questions...
1.
What do you wish men understood about women?
I wish some men understood that woman don’t always desire the grand gestures in life but crave the tiny, personal moments spent together that others never view. Those small looks of love across a crowded room, the briefest touch of a hand or a gentle word when upset mean much more to me than the lavish gifts, the public declaration of love and the materialistic trappings of life. You know you’ve found ‘The One’ when such simple gestures are what you long forward to after a long day.
2.
Do you only work on one book at a time?
I tend to have multiple projects on the go at the same time. I’m currently promoting and launching my debut novel ‘A Christmas Wish’ while book 2 ‘The Single Girl’s Calendar’ is being produced by the publishers, so every now and then I’ve had edits and proofreading to attend to. Whilst simultaneously writing draft 1 of a new Christmas book for 2018. I have a degree in juggling life so it bodes well for being an author. I tend to switch and swap tasks as required. I have a collection of project boxes that have the potential to become novels – when an interesting plot point comes to mind, I scribble it down on a post-it note and stash it within the relevant project box – that system is an ongoing one.
3.
Who is your favorite fictional couple?
Cinderella and Prince Charming – it must have been the first romance I read as a child and it has always stuck with me as the ideal cute/meet situation. In my singleton days, I probably compared all dates to Prince Charming which was very unfair of me given that none of them had a Kingdom or a crown.
4.
Do you have a favorite quote that sums up how you feel about
life?
Where ever there is sunshine, shadow must fall.
5.
Do you set daily writing goals? Word count? Number of
chapters? Do you get a chance to write every day?
I am a goal setting person so it has become second nature to record word counts on a spreadsheet. It helps to maintain a momentum if a project begins to wax and wane. But, can help me with future planning for other projects as I know what I am capable of when focused on the task in hand. There were times, before publication, it made me feel like a proper author by knowing my word output.
6. What do
you like better, Twitter or Facebook? Why?
I use both but for very different reasons. I use FaceBook to connect with close friends and writing buddies – I like the closed element for those interactions. I love Twitter thought for everything else. I love the laughs it beings me each day, the reader friends that I’ve made and the global audience that is available. It has made the world so much smaller.
7.
What are you working on now?
I am working on draft 1 of a new Christmas novel for 2018. I love the first stage of writing when a blank page sits before me awaiting my imagination. There are days when the words rush from my fingers tips and I can hardly keep up the pace of typing. Armed with copious amounts of tea - those are my glory days. I have about three weeks more writing before draft 1 is complete.

Flora Phillips has
an excuse for every disaster in her life; she was abandoned as a new-born on a
doorstep one cold autumn night, wrapped in nothing but a towel. Her philosophy
is simple: if your mother doesn't want you – who will?
Now a thirty-year-old, without a boyfriend, a career
or home she figures she might as well tackle the biggest question of them all –
who is she? So, whilst everyone else enjoys their Christmas Eve
traditions, Flora escapes the masses and drives to the village
of Pooley to seek a specific doorstep. Her doorstep.
But in Pooley she finds more than her life story. She
finds friends, laughter, and perhaps even a love to last a lifetime. Because
once you know where you come from, it's so much easier to know where you're
going.
A story of redemption and love, romance
and Christmas dreams-come-true, the perfect novel to snuggle up with this
festive season.
