What are your favorite scenes in your book: the action,
the dialogue, or the romance?
the dialogue, or the romance?
It’s got to be the
romance, but it’s got to hang on a good story. Dialogue’s hard, but before I
retired, I worked for a TV soap. It always amazed me that the cast spoke in
short sentences. On screen it made them sound like real people. I try to
incorporate that in my books.

How do you feel when you finish writing a book? Finishing a story is
like saying goodbye to great friends. I hate cliffhangers and unhappy endings
so I can guarantee a happy ever after in my books.

How do you feel about sequels?
My Scattered Siblings
series is a collection of stand-alone tales set in a magical world. The plants
are man eating, the Elves misogynistic, and the Lykae take the heroine’s breath
away with their good looks. I love the way the earlier characters crop in
cameos. It’s like a party with all your best friends invited.

Dominated by the
Dragon, my latest release, is planned as the first in a series. The heroes are
mutants created by the British Army, and they all have a dragon demon burned
into their soul. The military want to vivisect them, so they can’t put down
roots or have a family. When Flynn Hemsworth find the right girl it changes
everything.

Tell me something about yourself.
I celebrated my ruby
wedding this year. I tell everyone I was a child bride, but I was twenty when
we married. I have two grown up children. One does something mysterious in
banking and the other’s a deputy head teacher. I’m so proud of them both.

Cat or a dog person
Both. We always had
cats when the kids were little, but we live too near the main road now. When I
was younger, I had a Welsh Terrier—a sort of teddy bear on legs. I’d have a
dog, but my husband goes all Mr. Spock on me and points out that since our kids
both live in London, we sometimes need to go at the drop of a hat. It wouldn’t
be fair on the dog. I admit he’s right, but I don’t have to like it.

You said you’d retired. What are your ambitions now?
We moved to the
seaside when I finished work. My main ambition is to finish decorating our
lovely bungalow, but we put it on hold to enjoy the summer. Enjoying the sun,
sand, and beach tops my to-do list, along with writing all the books that are
rattling around in my head.

A former super soldier turned dragon demon

The British army’s
nuclear testing bonded a dragon into Flynn Hemsworth’s soul. Military
scientists vivisected and tortured him until he escaped two years later.
Although he’s never aged, he’s been alone and on the run for almost six
decades. When he prevents a naked woman from being the prize lot in a coven’s
slave auction, he realizes she has an unexplored submissive streak.

Hope Mathews—a sassy
blonde with killer keyboard skills—is a strong independent woman. When Flynn
prevents her being sold to a demon, she discovers she enjoys spankings and
light bondage.
Together Hope and Flynn must shut down a coven of black magicians, rescue
kidnapped demons, and stop a black ops nuclear missile hitting the UK. Even if
they manage all that, Hope’s the granddaughter of a billionaire while Flynn’s
still on the run from the military who want to dissect him again. Can they find
common ground and build a life together?

Reader Advisory:
Contains explicit language, a virginal heroine who discovers she enjoys
spanking and bondage. Add in some serious dragon demon loving, light the blue
touch paper, stand back, and watch the sparks fly.
