RNA Winter Party
Off to the Romantic Novelists' Association Winter Party in London tomorrow. Travelling there with my author friend Nora Fountain - the train journey will pass in a flash with so much to talk about - and hoping to meet many more friends when I get there!

The Next Big Thing
My Next Big Thing
I have been tagged to
write a post about my next big thing by DJKirkby The way it works is that I answer the
questions below and then tag 5 other bloggers to do the same on their blogs on
the 28th November.
What
is the working title of your book?
I am currently working
on It’s In The Cards which will be
my eleventh novel.
Where
did the idea come from for the book?
The idea for the book
came when I sat down with a pad and played around with a few scenarios set
around family life and threw in a few ‘what ifs?’
What
genre does your book fall under?
Women’s fiction.
I would say my writing style bears a passing resemblance to Cathy Kelly’s
and Jane Elizabeth Varley’s because they also deal with family issues.
Which
actors would you choose to play your characters in a movie rendition?
I would leave that
decision up to whoever was in charge of the casting for the film.
What
is the one-sentence synopsis of your book?
Not everyone has a
burning desire to fall in love and be married.
Will
your book be self-published or represented by an agency?
So far I have followed
the traditional publishing route and I hope that will continue.
How
long did it take you to write the first draft of your manuscript?
The manuscript is only
half complete and so far it has taken 3 months.
Who
or What inspired you to write this book?
I’ve always taken to
heart the advice to ‘write about what you know’ and I know an awful lot about
family life.
What
else about your book might pique the reader’s interest?
A Comment from TheBookBag
regarding a previous book was ‘If you’re looking for a deep book which you’ll
ponder over then this isn’t the one for you, but if you’d just enjoy a good,
light, well-written read then look no further.’ I would say that is what I'm aiming to achieve with each book that I write.
