What is the inspiration behind your latest release? The plot came to me through a series of dreams but there are some elements that are based on personal experience too. Tell us about your writing journey/how you got published? I got published after being accepted for an interview at Bundaberg’s WriteFest, in 2014, with Haylee Nash (Pan Macmillan’s Acquisitions Editor). Due to that interview, I was offered a contract with Pan’s digital imprint, Momentum. Nine months later, See Her Run was released. What is your writing routine? To write whenever I can! I have three children, a husband and one cat, so I have to work my schedule around them. There are many late nights. Share a writing quote/motto about writing. I love Hemingway’s: “There is nothing to writing. All you do is sit down at a typewriter and bleed.” It’s so true! What is the one piece of advice about writing that has stuck with you? Adverbs are not your friend (thanks Stephen King!) What are you reading at the moment or what’s the last book you read and what did you like/not like? I read a lot, in various genres, and always more than one book at a time. At the moment, my top two are Karin Slaughter’s Cop Town and Amanda Pillar’s Graced. Karin is one of the Queens of suspense and I’m loving Amanda’s writing style. See Her Run You can run from everything except your past.
