Hi, Mildred. I'm sorry for the delay in replying. I can say now that yes, there will be a third part. After all, we need to know whether Addison was genuinely sorry, don't we? As for Daniel, well, we just don't know where he went ;)

The unexplained death of a neighbour! She was elderly and I was a child, but the imagination came up with some scary reasons!

There will be, Mildred. Mackenzie Miller has his own list that needs to be fulfilled! I anticipate this to be released late this year.

Thankfully I have never encountered it. when I write my books sometimes I will write from start to finish and other times I will write until I get a little stuck with the plot. Those times I will put it to one side for a day or so, then go back and read it. Inspiration comes from what I have written and new plot lines can form.

The best thing has to be when someone contacts me to say they have read and loved my books. Those messages always produce a huge smile. It is my dream job, it's something I do full time and I like the fact that I can get lost in my fiction for a while.

Do it! Sit down and just let the story out of your head. Don't worry, initially, about spelling, grammar, structure - that can all come later. If you have an idea for a story then remember to make it your own, make it unique and always be aware of your target audience. Read the genre you intend to write.

I am editing Robert which is due for release at the end of September and will go on a blog tour 6th October and I'm also doing first round edits of Fallen Angel, Part III. Once those are finished I will start to write Travis (a novel about an important supporting character) and then Fallen Angel, Part IV. I did have a new series, Passion, planned for 2015 but that will now be pushed back a few months.

Many things inspire me, people I've met, family, events, places but the main reason I write is because I suffer with depression. I wrote to give my brain something else to think about and it whilst writing that I got lost in my characters and the fiction, I forgot about my troubles and it has become rather addictive!

The Fallen Angel series, or rather Robert Stone, the lead character came to me in a dream, believe it or not! I have very odd sleep patterns and a vivid imagination, even in sleep. I would dream of this man, as mad as this sounds, telling me his story. I would wake, write down the dream as a way of discharging it from my brain and then go back to sleep. Some weeks later I read through the notes I had made and, as I had just finished writing A Virtual Affair, decided to simply write and see where his story took me. Fallen Angel Part I and II was initially one book and because I wanted to explore why this man behaved the way he did, I wrote Robert immediately after.
