Author Interview

Here is an interview I gave on the Blog Tour for A Surprise Proposal in the Rose Garden. Questions by Lisa Loves Literature


  1. What are your favorite romance tropes to read or write?

Brilliant question! I love tropes so much and I have many favourites 😊. My top favourites to write are grumpy/ sunshine and love/hate – both have the best opportunities for all the banter. As for reading, I’ll pretty much read any trope though I’m not a big fan of surprise baby/ pregnancy.

A Surprise Proposal in the Rose Garden has some great tropes in it. Best friend’s brother, a (different) friend’s ex, fake engagement, secret crush, all grown up… to name a few!


 

2. Do you always know how the story will end when you start writing?

Yes. I like to plan the whole book before I start writing so I at least have a vague idea of where it’s going, even if it’s just a few notes. It helps me stay on track and not wander off the plot.


 

3. Where is your ideal place to write? Do you have an office at home, or do you like to go sit in a coffee shop, library, or other public place?

I like to write at home either at my desk in my little office or on the sofa with my laptop if I’m feeling the need to be cosy!


 

4. I’m a big Outlander fan, so I have to ask, have you read the books or watched the series?  If so, other than Jamie and Claire, do you have a favorite character?

I haven’t read the books, but I watched the TV series. Maybe this is going to be an unpopular opinion, but I felt a bit sorry for Frank (in the beginning anyway)! Not sure that makes him a favourite character though.


 

5. Do you have a dream vacation or place that is on your bucket list that you want to visit at least once in your lifetime?

I’d really love to go to St Kilda. It’s a tiny island that’s 110 miles from the Scottish mainland. It has a fascinating history and I’ve always fancied going there.


 

6. Some quick fun questions:

Hogwarts house?  Ravenclaw

Dogs or cats? dogs

Tea or coffee? Neither! (can I have a hot chocolate, please)

Audiobook, e-book, or physical book? e-book for fiction/ physical book for fact

Favorite season? Autumn
