Can you tell us about the “aha” moment that made you realise that language has so much power? And what is it you hope readers take away from your words?
Adam A. Fox
So this is payback for making my readers cry, I see!
Words in any language, spoken or written, have unrivalled power, and silence holds its own unique weight.
You can scream and shout, and write a billion sentences, but it doesn't guarantee acknowledgement.
I suppose I learned that early on, and it stuck with me.
I hope some might find a little validation or education in my work, a small comfort, even.
Everyone deserves to be heard, we just have to teach the world to listen. Sinful is painful, but honest, and it's proof that you're not alone.

Adam A. Fox:
Rare are the authors who manage to make readers almost smell and taste the food they’re reading about the way you do. So my question is: Of all the meals you so vividly describe in Sinful, which is your favourite? And may I ask: Why? Is it the taste? Is it a passion or love for cooking/baking? Or, is it because of fond memories?
