I visit places. When I know the setting of where the scenes will take place, I find somewhere that resembles it. I sit and listen to sounds and take everything in from the trees, to the weather, to the wildlife etc. It really helps your ideas come together. In Briguella, I spent a lot of time sitting in an abandoned old tithe barn and this helped me to write some of the best pages in the book.

Putting yourself into the book and imagining that those things are happening to you. It makes your writing feel more real in my opinion. And of course seeing your work in paperback!

Never give up. Rejections are from those agents that you were not meant to work with - everything happens for a reason. Believe in your dreams and follow them.

I am currently working on my second novel - The Night My Life Was Stolen. This is another crime thriller which explores the sinister side of the dark web with a harrowing revenge plot.

I have always loved writing since I was a little girl. Sometimes ideas come to me in my dreams, which sounds odd. Other times I can be just driving or walking along and an idea will pop into my head, For that reason I am always writing notes on my phone or in my notebook.

Briguella is taking from my past journalistic experiences of covering a serial sex attacker investigation.
