Hi Nancy. Sorry about the delayed response. Unfortunately, I had to cancel Steele. The boys stopped speaking to me and it was almost impossible to write. I decided it was better to put my energy into something I did want to write, which is my new book, Timing (out now). I hope you're not too disappointed <3

Thank you very much! A great question at a great time because the Shelter audiobook is currently sitting with Amazon for review (should be available on Amazon/iTunes/Audible early February). You can listen to a 5 minute sample at ashleyjohn.co.uk :D <3

Thank you Denise! Glad you're enjoying my Surf Bay boys. Hopefully there will be a new 6th book in the early months of 2016! <3

It's not in my current plans, but who knows! George & Harvey was my first ever published so it holds a special place in my heart but I kind of feel like that story is over (for now). Never say never though! <3

I don't really have much time to make physical art anymore, but a lot of my old work is still on my facebook page :) https://www.facebook.com/ashleyjohnar...

I'm currently working on a standalone novel, which should be out April/May time, and then after that, who knows. Hopefully I'll be doing a couple more standalone books, but I still plan to write more Surf Bay in the future :)

I think about the finished product. I always design the cover before I've even finished writing the book, because I'm a very visual person. I like to see what I'm working towards, so if I'm ever feeling uninspired, I take a look at my cover and imagine the finished product on people's kindles.

Don't give up, because every writer you look up to started where you are. There are no right or wrong ways to do things, just find what works for you and work hard at it. You're going to make mistakes, lots of them in fact, but each mistake is a lesson to learn from.

If I have writers's block, and I can't worth through it, I'll usually work on other things, so I can still be productive. I'll design covers, promotional pieces, work on future book outlines, write blogs...

The best thing is that I get to use my imagination every single day. No two days are the same, and I love that.
