I pretend writer's block doesn't exist. The best way to deal with is to start by editing what you already have - that will usually get you going writing again. My other trick is to leave writing at the end of the day without finishing my thought (even though this is hard!) Then, the next day it's easy to finish up where I was - and that usually keeps me going onto the next chapter.

The best thing about being a writer is opening the mail and receiving your first manuscript as a real book. There's nothing like that feeling! Euphoric, proud and so satisfying.

My advice for aspiring writers is to not worry about getting it right - right away. Start writing about what you feel most passionate about - don't try to put it into a structure immediately. The structure and flow will emerge as your voice gets stronger.

I'm currently working on Book 3 in my Diana Spencer trilogy - Diana, A Spencer Forever.

I get inspired to write by thinking of others who loved (and still love) Princess Diana. I want to keep her image alive - in a real and positive way.

It's the second book in my Diana Spencer trilogy - I really wanted to tell Princess Diana's story in HER voice. It's fiction, but historically accurate. I wrote the books that I wanted to read about our late and lovely Princess.
