I'm a huge fan of chick-lit, but I also like my romances pretty steamy. I could never find enough books that had both an interesting storyline and genuinely erotic sex scenes, so I decided to start writing them myself. I have also lived in a polyamorous relationship for most of my adult life, and I wanted to write a story that was a bit more challenging than the standard love triangle, where the female protagonist has to choose between two guys. The Butterfly series is a bit more complex than that, and I hope readers will find Georgia's dilemmas and her ultimate decisions a refreshing change to what they are used to (and the sexy bits more ... sexy).

I just have ideas floating around in my head all the time. But I do scribble in notebooks and make spreadsheets and timelines to bring order to those ideas. That also makes it easier on days when I might be feeling a little less inspired, as I have something to refer to and remind me of where I'm heading.

I'm currently working on book 3 in my Butterfly series - it's called Butterfly Tempest; and it's even more steamy, and the relationships become more challenging and unconventional than in the first two books.

There is only one thing you need to do to be a writer, and that's .... write! Do it every day, even when you don't feel like it or you think what you're writing is terrible. As long as you are writing, you're a writer and eventually you will finish whatever it is you're working on.

I can work anytime day or night (I'm very nocturnal); and I can sit in my sleeping bag, with my cat on my lap.

Once I sit down to write, I rarely have a problem with writer's block. I have lots of ideas running through my head all the time - my biggest problem is finding enough time to get them all written! I often write myself notes about upcoming scenes or chapters, so I don't forget them before I get to writing them.
