Interview:
1.
Where did you
get the idea for the novel?
It was only going to be a short
story at first but then I worked out how the characters would meet and they
just wouldn’t stay apart. After the first two books I wrote I also wanted to
set something in New Zealand.
2.
Your title. Who
came up with it? Did you ever change your title?
I came up with the title. When I
started out it was called In The Rain because it was raining when Natalie and
Alex met but After The Fall seemed a bit more appropriate with Natalie’s fall
at the start and the time of the year.
3.
Why did you
pick this genre? What do you like about it?
After writing erotic romance I
wanted to do something still steamy but a bit less explicit and more drama. New
adult was a great fit for it as I don’t think After The Fall really fits into
erotic romance or simply romance.
4.
Since becoming
a writer, what’s the most exciting thing to ever happen to you?
The first review I got was a 5 star
and I loved that someone had read my book and got me.
5.
What book are
you currently reading or what was the last book you read?
Stardust – Mimi Strong
6.
What is your
writing process?
It’s very haphazard. I work full
time and have two children who keep me busy the rest of the time so I squeeze
in writing where I can and it tends to be a jumble at first until I get to
organizing it. I do try to plot but also
go with the flow and sometimes end up all kinds of places.
7.
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?
I’ve signed one book so far and it
was for a friend so she told me what she wanted me to write. I hadn’t even
thought that far ahead to be honest, I suppose I had better!
8. What is something people would be surprised to
know about you?
I collect comic books and I’m a huge
Batman fan. If they ever made Batman
available on Kindle Worlds to write about I would be right there!
9. How do you react to a bad review?
Move onto the next thing. Everyone
has different tastes and I don’t like everything so I don’t expect everyone to
like what I write. Sometimes they can be really helpful too.
10.
How
did you celebrate the sale of your first book?
I told my husband I’d written
a book! It had been a long time since I had written anything and I kept it to
myself until that point. He was surprised to say the least.
Ariadne Wayne
Ariadne Wayne wanted to be a journalist when she grew up. Real life got in the way as did her love of computers and after twenty years she decided to return to writing and is loving it. After a lifetime of making up stories in her head, she’s now recording them to share with others. Her quirky sense of humour often leads all kinds of places and sometimes into trouble. She balances writing with working full time and bringing up two children and a husband so struggles for air at times but loves every minute of it!
