Thank you for your question. I really enjoy Patricia Cornwell and Marian Keyes. But the older classics are my favorite - so Jane Austin is at the top of my list!

I actually have another story in mind that will fall into the medical thriller category which I am excited to write about. I hope to challenge medical ethics and raise issues that we wouldn't usually discuss with my writing. This will be a stand alone novel and will not be a science fiction/futuristic novel.

Writing the manuscript is not the hard part. Getting it out there and getting readers and HONEST reviews is the hard part. It takes work and dedication. Don’t give up.

Being able to put your thoughts onto paper and actually having someone read and enjoy what you have written. For me personally, there is no better feeling in your career.

I jot ideas down, as they come to me. I’m the type that gets ideas for new books at random or who will be walking down the street and I’ll come up with the next plot in my book.

I dont push myself too hard. Ill get up and change my activity. Maybe go for a walk, read another book or watch a good series on TV. Something to take my mind of the task at hand. I usually find that within a few hours, a thought or idea will have popped into my head and Ill rush to my PC to get it down on paper.

I am a Molecular Biologist and have a Masters degree in Biotechnology. Having studied the ethical issues and controversies surrounding genetic breeding and designer babies, I started to wonder what would happen if your genetic prowess was the new currency and determined your place in this world. Would our interference of natural selection by genetic breeding create super humans? This book has inspired me to investigate further the human reaction to a situation which could threaten our entire existence. Although the book centre’s around science fiction, the scientific terms and genetic references are factual and make reference to studies performed worldwide, where researchers are trying to select for genetically favorable characteristics and disease free humans.
