Tell us a bit about yourself
Well, I’m a 23 year old author, from bonnie Scotland. I’ve always been an avid reader, and have seen myself reading up to 4 books a day. I love just about any book as long as its romance lol. I left school when I was 16, and didn’t really work afterwards due to mental health issues, but I live a very happy life with my fiance and my pupper.
Have you always wanted to become an author?
Actually no. When I was growing up I always wanted to be a vet, or a nurse or doctor. I love to help people and was a carer for my mum, so the idea of being able to use those skills in my life, and help make other people’s life easier was appealing to me. I actually became an author, because after reading so many books, certain stories would pop up in my head. I would search for specific things until one day last year I thought, if I enjoy reading so much maybe I will like writing too.
What was your inspiration for your current book/series?
I’ve always loved demon stories, so to ease myself in to the beautiful world of writing. I decided to use small parts of my own life, and the kinds of books I like the most, and the searching trilogy was born.
What are you currently working on?
Searching For The Answers book 2 Of the searching trilogy. Which is a continuation of Lilith’s mess of a life, and how her and her guys are figuring out their relationship together. There will be plenty of twists and turns in the lead up to the final book.
Do you have any quirks when working?
I don’t know really. I suppose I always have to have a cup of coffee, and I write a lot better whilst listening to music, or an audiobook.
What are your hopes for the future?
The main thing I want to do,is bring a little joy and distraction to people. I can’t help people the way I’ve always dreamed, but if I can write about real life stuff in my books, with helpful ways to get through them that helps someone then I’m more than happy.
Do you have any advice for new authors about the publishing world?
I’m not going to lie, I’m still trying to figure it all out myself lol. The biggest bit of advice I could give is, don’t be afraid to reach out to other authors for advice, I’ve seen how lovely they can all be. Ginna Moran helped me out so much with advice on how to get word of my work out there. Also I know it’s scary, but remember there will always be people that don’t like your work, and can be a little mean. Every positive review makes up for it all though, because there’s so many people who will like it too, and appreciate the work you have put in.
Do you have anything to say to your followers?
I could never thank my readers enough for the interest they have hown in my work! It’s truly indescribable, the feeling you get when you read through lovely reviews, and have people getting in touch about how much they enjoy your work. I love you all, and I hope I can give you all things to look forward to for years to come. ❤️
