Interview:
- Where did you get the idea
for the novel?
Answer: My dreams are how my writing
actually started, that is where Saskia was born. I dreamt about a man and women
on a black horse going through a wall of fire. The dream lingered so I wrote it
down, I had never tried to write a book before, but every time I revisited that
page, I thought to myself, I wonder where they were going. And it started from
there.
- Your title. Who came up with
it? Did you ever change your title?
Answer: My sister actually, I was looking
for a name of the world that I had created and she blurted out Saskia, it
sounded perfect. Eden Forest which is the first title was because the grand
finale is placed In Eden Forest so I
decided to call it Eden Forest Part one of the Saskia trilogy. I had loads of
names for my book but this one felt right.
- Which came first, the title
or the novel?
Answer: O the Novel first. I wrote it for
myself and later on when my mum and sister picked up the manuscript and read
it, that they said I should send this to a publisher, so I did, then the name
which my sister helped with.
- Since becoming a writer,
what’s the most exciting thing to ever happen to you?
Answer: Kelly Armstrong following my blog
one of my favorite authors, I rang my mum (who didn’t have a clue who she was)
practically screaming I was so so happy.
- What book are you currently
reading or what was the last book you read?
Answer: Darkness of Light by Stacey Marie
Brown. What a story just amazing. I now am a fan of hers.
- What was your first book
that you ever wrote (very first one you wrote, not published)?
Answer: Weird but Eden Forest was the very
first book I ever wrote, never tried before.
- What is your writing
process?
Answer: I do a layout of what way I want
the story to go, it doesn’t always end up the way, but I look at it as
guidelines. If I was to plan everything it would take too long. As a character
develops I find they take control, (hope that doesn’t sound too weird) but like
if I put them in a situation where they have a choice, it depends on which one
they choose, and it can change everything about the story. I don’t want the
good guy to be always good or the bad guy to be really evil; everyone has a bit
of both in them, and so does my characters.
- Who are your favorite authors
of all time?
Answer: Marie V Snyder, Kelly Armstrong, Dan
Brown, Charlene Harris. Really the list goes on, but these are some of my
favorite ones.
- At a book signing, do you
just sign your name or do you write a note? How do you come up with stuff
to say?
Answer: No I always ask the person their
name, then sign mine, and I might say happy reading or enjoy reading. Just
something simple at the last book signing I had over 100 books to sign so my
hand wasn’t doing so good, just needed to keep it short but personal.
- What is something people
would be surprised to know about you?
Answer: I am a qualified Accountant
technician (Yes the job that everyone associates with boring). Whenever I am
doing a radio interview they always say what a jump and accountant to a fantasy
writer, with a raised eyebrow. LOL
- How do you react to a bad
review?
Answer: I can’t help it but I get really
upset, and give myself some chocolate, while telling myself not everyone is
going to like it. The first bad review I got made me cry and when I look back
it wasn’t that bad I got 3 and half stars but was gutted.
- How did you celebrate the
sale of your first book?
Answer: Well I sold 100 on the first night
and had a launch with over 200 guests so it was a party one that I will never
forgot and got taken out for loads of meals. Hope it happens with my second
book City of Secrets.
