1.
Are you a panster or a plotter or perhaps a bit
of both?
I write
meticulously researched romantic historical fiction. Historical non-fiction
often gives me an idea for a plot. While engaged in mundane tasks such as
stacking the dish washer or hanging out
laundry I consider possibilities, but I don’t plot my novels in detail.
Which comes first -
characters or plot for you?
A rough idea for a plot
comes first, but until I have chosen the main characters names and filled in
their detailed character profiles I can’t begin writing the novel.
What are you working on
now? Is this a book in a current series or something totally new?
I am writing Friday’s
Child, Heroines Born on Different Days of the Week Book 6, a romantic
historical set in the ever-popular Regency era. (The heroines’ stories are not
continuations of previous books in the series.)
4. Do you have some kind of object or place that figures in most
of your books? I use gems a lot, hospitals and caves.
Places, costume and food figure in all novels.
I visit and research places of historical interest and use the
information to create places where my fictional characters exist. I also
describe their clothes and the food they eat
– something which is praised in reviews of my novels.
5. Do you write every day or just when the spirit hits?
I wish I had the luxury of writing when the spirit hits, but if I
did I would procrastinate and, maybe, never finish a novel.
Friday’s Child will be published in June 2019 so I must submit it
to my publisher by the 1st of May. To complete the novel and have
time to research, I write between 6 a.m and 10 a.m. every day, and deal with
matters relating to writing from approximately 4 p.m. to 8 p.m. It’s hard but very rewarding work.
