I step away and take a break. I'm usually overthinking things and I'm in 'analysis paralysis' so some time away from my work in progress usually clears my head.

It's so exhilarating to create worlds and characters that are just as vivid as the world we live in.
I love it when a reader goes off on a rant about one of my characters saying "he/she reminds me so much of ... They were awful too!" Or they tell me they were in tears while reading a certain section of the book.

As Dori from Finding Nemo says "be brave, and just keep swimming".

I'd always enjoyed telling stories, I put it down to my Celtic genes, but I'd never considered writing a book until one Tuesday afternoon in May 2019.
I met a friend for coffee. He is an author who had just published his third novel. We talked about writing, and I began to feel the glimmer of inspiration. By Saturday I was already planning the novel that would become 'Rachel's Butterflies'!

Rachel's Butterflies was inspired by my two best friends Pippa and Joe. We grew up together, went to school together, and over the years we have supported each other through good times and bad. They are like siblings to me. They truly are my butterflies.
