Hi Angela. Yes, we are in discussions for a Spanish translation. Thanks for your question. :)

I followed my heart. I love London, theatre, comic cons, BBC's Sherlock, Doctor Who, and fish-out-of-water stories. I'm always cheering for the outsider—too many years being one, I suppose!—so the ideas for 'London Belongs to Me' in some instances were quite close to home. I've never moved countries like Alex, my main character, but I do understand the desire to let go of the past and start over. I think we all can relate to that want, whether we take the plunge or not.

I think I have the opposite problem—I want to write all the time! When I have a story in mind, I have this tremendous need to get it all down, and then relive the scenes repeatedly during edits. I should probably take more time away from the laptop as I tend to write through the week and straight through my weekends, but I love it. One tool I do use for inspiration is music. I create playlists for my stories, and even for characters. I find that I can get into a character's headspace pretty easily with the right song.

I have had dozens of requests for a follow-up to London Belongs to Me, so I'm currently working on its sequel. Expect lots of London, Manchester, and even Dublin and New York.
