- What gave you the idea for Baubles story?
The Glass Slipper
Company idea was born in 2006. I was working
full-time in a factory back then and was still on a learning curve to become a
writer. Originally I played around
with the idea for story to enter into a magazine competition and had created
just the reporter Alice Wonderland who was going to interview the fairy
godmother, but like all ideas it never became fully formed so it just sat on my
computer.
At the beginning of this year while
hunting for a story I came across it in my idea folder. Once I had
developed the character of the cameraman Peter Wolf the rest of the story fell
into place.
- How would you describe your normal style of writing?
Normally I write with a dark edge
style. I enjoy writing psychological
crime stories without the gore, a kind of skin-crawling creepiness.
- Have you published other material?
Yes, mainly short stories in other
anthologies by Bridge House, Chapel Town Books, English Heritage, Parthian Books and I’ve won a
couple of competitions too.
- Do you have a writing routine?
In a way yes, I do. I write in the
early morning. My husband has to be out the house by 5.30 in the morning, so
normally I like to start writing after he has gone.
- Do you have a favourite place for writing?
In a small office at the top of the
stairs facing a wall of books where I can stay focused. Well, that’s the idea.
- Tell something quirky about you.
I grew up at a flour mill as my father
was a master miller.
