Popular Answered Questions

Your characters never appear fictional, far-fetched clichés, as so many characters of other authors in the genre of women's fiction. What is your secret to writing characters that resignate with people from our real lives? How are you able to keep your audience on the side of your characters, despite the many immoral or shameworthy actions they commit?

I hope my characters are real enough to resonate - certainly women who have been through much of what I write about have said I have captured it, but my goal is that even if you haven't been there, you can understand how we make mistakes.(less)

“... you don't have to wait for someone to treat you bad repeatedly. All it takes is once, and if they get away with it that once, if they know they can treat you like that, then it sets the pattern for the future.”

“I want someone who will adore me so much that they cannot even walk past me without touching me in some way. I want someone who will worship me, even when.. I'm sitting around in fluffy slippers with no makeup on and hair scraped back.

I'm sick and tired of being on my own. Most of the time I'm fine. Some of the time I even quite enjoy it. But at this precise moment in time I'm fed up with it. I've had enough..”
