MJ Lawrie has always had a love for storytelling. Formerly a film student, she started writing her debut series, The Last Witch, shortly after the birth of her first baby. Driven mad by the boredom of nap times and avoiding housework at all costs, she decided to finally get to work on her lifelong dream of writing a book. A true lover of fantasy, dark romance and thriller fiction, she's combined the three and poured her unusual imagination into the creation of characters that you love to hate and hate to love.

I absolutely loved The Verity and Last Witch. Do you have another series planned yet, or are you taking a well deserved break?

I had a small break over the festive season, but I am now back to work. This year I will be releasing another Verity adventure. I can't wait to get back into Scar's head :)
I am also working on something new. It will be a dark paranormal romance, That's all I can really say about it at the moment but I will share more soon :)

Do you get emotionally attached to any of your characters? Is it hard to let them go to keep the story going?

Unless t…moreI get extremely close to all of them, the good and the bad, and if I do let them go it's not uncommon for me to have a little cry afterwards. Unless they're a character I hate, then I may do a small happy dance of vengeance instead :) But that's what you want. A reaction. If you feel nothing when you remove a character, either because they leave or they die, then I don't think that character was written deeply enough and that their removal doesn't actually matter or drive the story forwards. So no one really cares that they're gone. Not good! If it really hurts the writer, then it should devastate the reader. That's an okay thing to do because that means I've created a character that the reader has really invested in and cares about. The same should then go for the story. If I don't break someones heart at least once with my stories (mine included) then I know I've gone wrong :)(less)

M.J. Lawrie and 5 other people liked Emily O'Leary's review of Our Dark Winter Wish (Crimson Covenant, #2.5): "Chestnuts. Snowball fights. Turkey. String decorations made out of caterpillars. Could it get more festive than this? I dare you to try! This was exactly what I needed to get me into the festive spirit (we'll not discuss what that might say about me)." Read more of this review »
