Please tell us about your inspiration for the story and the character of Lois.
Lois along with other characters throughout the novel are based on a few close friends with added exciting twists.
Have you always wanted to write a book or is it a recent passion?
Writing a novel was always a lifelong ambition, but never thought I would have the confidence or ability to complete one.
Please tell us about your writing process.
It starts with an idea that grows into a sentence, into a page, then a chapter- once you get the basics- the rest just flows.
Who are you reading right now and which authors do you admire the most?
I'm currently reading LJ Ross. I have no preference on authors- all are individuals.
The book reviews have praised it for how funny it is- so is humour an important part of life for you?
The humour side does somewhat come from my personality and I do believe for anyone it always brightens your day- as per the quote “Smiling is infectious, you catch it like the flu. When someone smiled at me today, I started smiling too.......”
What has been the reaction of friends and family?
Initially everyone was excited! Any author would tell you writing a novel can be a long process- now that the book has finally been published, the excitement has turned into being ECSTATIC!!! I’ve had a lot of continued support.
Which writers have inspired your work?
My book is purely based on my own imagination. You hear of some authors who have written a book. (Have they? Or was it with help of a ghost writer?)
This is your debut so do you have any plans for a second book?
I do have one or two ideas for further novels, but would like to see how “A Furnished Affair” progresses and take’s off first.
