It started with an annual review with my boss. I work in a 24/7 newsroom. Early---as in crack of stupid---mornings. I complained about the hours; the fact the newsroom carpet was grungy; and that I didn't get a chance to write an elegant sentence. Most of what I do is MASH journalism---get it out accurate and quickly. He pointed out that his job may not be the place to write an elegant sentence. The remark resonated and I got my first laptop and started writing. I have six books in the series St. Barts, based on one of my favourite places on the planet. (Unlike my characters, I don't know people with yachts or villas.)

Emme Cross:
I´m really looking forward to the rest of the series! Thanks for your answer! Should you ever think about going for the German market (?) I´d love to translate your books. I am German, I´ve studied communications, worked for years for a publisher and spend half my life speaking English. So should you consider this (or not), please answer via info@porzellanundpinselstrich.de so it remains private. Good luck, Maja
