I love medieval worlds, with castle and knights, maybe some dragons! If I travelled somewhere like that I'd ride around on a horse having daring adventures. :-)

Hmm... I don't really have a reading list, I just tend to pick up whatever I feel like at the time! However, I will definitely be reading Dumplin' by Julia Murphy and Silver Silence by Nalini Singh.

Hhmm... That's a hard one! There are so many that I love. However, the one book I go back to again and again is A Hunger like No Other by Kresley Cole; I just adore Lachlan and Emma!

I'm not really sure where the idea for The Demon Inside came from, except that the ending with Darcy and Alec was the first thing I imagined. The next step was figuring out how I could get to that particular ending and the first thing that popped into my head was zombies. God knows why, since I don't usually enjoy reading zombie books myself! Also, I prefer happy endings as well so why I decided to kill of my two main characters is a mystery to me to - if I read a book where the author did that I'd be pissed. Sorry guys!

I have recently finished another young-adult sci-fi novel, set in a futuristic society where people are split into a strict hierarchy, technology has advanced to extreme stages and anyone who breaks the law is sent to the Ghetto. Told from the prospective of the heroine, Sunny, the President's daughter, the story follows her unlikely relationship with Sin, a rebel leader in the Ghetto, and their journey to challenge the system.
I'm currently working on editing this, as well as trying to market The Demon Inside, so I haven't had time to start anything new, though I am toying with a few ideas!

I love writing. It's very rare that I don't want to write; I usually come home from work and sit down with my laptop to write. However, when I do get bored of working I generally find that reading the work of other great writers inspires me to get back to work on my own stories.

To deal with writers block, I usually just take a break, watch some TV, go for a walk, or read a book. It's probably not the most professional way to deal with it, but it works for me!

Just start writing! Write something every day even when you don't feel like writing.

Since this is only my first published work - though it's not by any means the first book I've written - I'm not sure I have enough experience being a writer to answer this question! However, what I like most is being able to disappear into my work, to loose myself in a different world and create characters.
