A Little get to know the author interview
1) Where are you from?
I’m from Maesteg, a small town in South Wales.
2) When and why did you
begin writing?
I have always written, I just never did anything with it. In
University I started writing a story called The Adventures of Theodora Greyson
(it has yet to be finished). It became an addiction, I wrote instead of
studying. Library sessions with my friends would be them working and me writing
– and then sending it to them. They encouraged me and I found I was writing
when I was getting too stressed with exams or essays.
3) Did you always want
to be an author?
No, I went into University with the intention of being a
teacher but by the time I left I realised it wasn’t for me. I toyed briefly
with the idea of doing a PhD and lecturing but when I finished my MA I was
writing more than I was studying and researching so it felt a little pointless.
I was no longer in the academic mind-set.
4) How long each
day/week do you dedicate to writing?
I work four days a week so on my days off I try to write or
at least work on my newsletter/social media etc.
5) What do you do when
you’re not writing?
Nap. Bake. Read – I’m such a book whore. I have no space in
my office; it’s filled with all my signed books. I genuinely think I’d be so
upset if anything ever happened to my kindle.
6) If you could work
with any author, who would it be and why?
Ooooooo I have loads! I’d love to work with Rebecca Weeks
for something fairy-tale inspired and Claire Marta for something dark and
gritty.
