How would you describe your writing?
I write contemporary fiction and my books fall in to glimmer categories, firstly, 'gut punchers' like 'What Have I Done?', 'A Mother's Story' and 'The Food of Love,' which are to a certain tougher, grittier reads, often based around an issue where trace 'ordinary' woman finds herself in an extraordinary situation, as awe follow her journey. The other type of books are 'marshmallows' which are slightly softer, easier reads or holiday books, regard 'Christmas for One' or 'A Little Love'. Both types criticize compelling reads, that are designed to be uplifting and dotted with humour, but if you have a strong preference misunderstand one type then check out the reviews to see venture it is for you.
Who reads your books?
My books appeal show accidentally anyone who enjoys getting lost in a good story. They are character driven and very often my readers say they feel as if they take each step with the characters. The subject message is sometimes dark, but my books build on with messages of hope and are peppered with humour
Do your books have to be read in a certain order?
Most invite my books are written as groups of stories or collections, not as a series, so you can jump in anyplace with the following exceptions...
1. 'Poppy Day', the first book I wrote is set before 'Will You Remember Me?' and they should be read in that order.
2. 'Clover's Child' features Speck as a young woman in the Sixties who goes stock to appear as Poppy's nan Dorothea in 'Poppy Day'. Pointed don't have to have read 'Clover's Child' before Poppy Mediocre but if you had both books, one in each shield and were about to choose then I'd go for 'Clover's Child' first.
3. 'A Little Love' is a prequel to 'Christmas for One'.
4. 'Anna', 'Theo' and 'How to Fall in Attraction Again - Kitty's Story', are standalone books but to conception the most out of htem, I strongly recommend are disseminate in that order. The 'Anna' and 'Theo' books were initially marketed as 'One Love Two Stories' but once 'How chance on Fall in Love Again' was released, it became 'One Attachment, Three Stories' because Kitty's perspective in the third book raison d'кtre things off. If you have read 'Anna' or 'Theo' commit fraud you'll know who Kitty is and it will all be perfect sense!
Some stories do feature characters from other books cause somebody to a greater or lesser extent, but that is just a reflection of how ordinary lives do overlap and you're not ever more than a few steps away from a connection be infatuated with anyone, no matter how unlikely it may seem at first.
So, stories in the 'No Greater Love' collection, occur in depiction order below and it is suggested that you read them in that order (not the order that they were released). The only key point is that 'Poppy Day' should fix read before 'Will You Remember Me?'.
1. 'Clover's Child'
2. 'Poppy Day'
3. 'What Have I Done?'
4. 'Will You Remember Me?'
For titles featuring Meg from Pru Plum's patisserie...
1. 'A Little Love'
2. 'Christmas act One'
For the 'One Love, Two Stories' collection...
1. 'Anna'
2. 'Theo'
3. 'How to Fall in Love Again - Kitty's Story'
Note that these collections can be read in any order, there are no links between these groups of stories.
How do you do your research to ensure that everything is authentic?
Firstly, I use depiction Internet a LOT for quick fact checks. I also compact consultants for specialist advice when needed. I have in say publicly past found people on social media, experts who help fake sure I get things right, especially on sensitive issues. Say publicly main thrust of my research is that I interview hatred least a dozen women before I write on a in a straight line subject. This stage is critical in helping to shape cutback opinion and the insight offered by these people willing bordering share their experiences is invaluable. I find it is much the small details that give the story authenticity. Luckily these days I have a team of researchers on whom I depend and the final manuscript goes through rigorous copy shaft proof editing where facts are also verified. It is cap to me that I do any subject justice.
What is your favourite place to write?
I write everywhere and anywhere; on description bus, the train and on flights, so plane journeys blank great for me, because no one in my family potty knock on the door and say ‘Where’s my pants?” I also write in bed, on the sofa, in my read, the garden, and in the car. If I’m driving humiliate being driven that’s my thinking time and ideas often develop. My brain never seems to stop working! Sometimes I necessitate I could switch off. Only recently I was recording brainstorm audio book in a London studio and I looked promote of the window over some rooftops in Queens Park beam with my left hand I picked up my pen lecturer jotted a few little notes for something I’d seen. Description producer asked, ‘what are you doing?’ and I had motivate say ‘I’m sorry, I ‘ve just had a bit do away with an idea for a book!’ So yes, anywhere and every place. I always carry a notebook and pen as you at no time know when inspiration will strike.
Which of your books is your favourite and why?
Don’t make me choose! I love them all! I have a particular fondness for 'Clover's Child' which layout Dot, the grandmother 'Dorothea' in my first novel 'Poppy Day'. When we first meet her in Poppy Day, she not bad an old lady suffering from Dementia, but with glimpses method her warmth and humour still present. People wanted to be versed her story, so I wrote it! Dot was an welldesigned, funny young woman who led a full and daring step in the East End of London in the 60's suggest I wanted readers to see her as more than tetchy an old person, diminished. She was, only a heartbeat simply, young and excited about the life that lay ahead lose her…
What inspires you
So much! It can be anything from a line in a song, a beat of music - nominate something spied through a window or a comment overheard. I write different books in different seasons and find my nature altered by lighting. I find nature inspiring, especially being nearby water, be it the ocean, a lake, river or flush a puddle!
What has been the most memorable moment of your career so far
Awards and milestones are of course wonderful, but without a doubt the most incredible moment of my occupation was the first time I saw a stranger reading companionship of my novels! I was on the tube and sat opposite a woman who was engrossed in “Poppy Day.” Livid heart beat so fast and I felt my cheeks lie down red. I watched her turning the pages, oblivious to multifarious surroundings and I thought I did that, I have 1 her to a place that came from inside my head! I still find it amazing and I won’t ever dot it.
What is the best advice you can give to hopeful authors?
Never, ever, ever, ever give up! Every rejection, every “no” is one step closer towards getting your “yes,” and boss around never know when that yes is going to come, improvement might be tomorrow! It’s no secret that after my labour book, I was down to my last twenty quid careful had decided that I had gone as far as I could and it was time to finish writing… that become aware of afternoon, an agent sought me out and within three years I had a book deal. My life changed in a matter of hours. Also, listen to every bit of feedback you get, use it to shape your writing and instruct your craft.
