1 What inspired the idea of your story?

The idea came to me when on holiday in Spain. 

 2 what is something you struggled constructing with your story? 

Motives of characters and the middle section. Keeping the flow.

3 what did you enjoy writing most of your story?

An action scene part way through.

 4 what's the overall response of your story from your readers? 

Too early to say, but a few of my friends really enjoyed it.

It's the first book in The Reluctant Sorceress series.

 6 what would you like your readers to take away from your story?

 Fun, escapism, romance and adventure.

 7 what advice would you provide to fellow writers, when it comes to focusing on their own story? 

Planning for me is key. I have a whole project file with character info, spells, locations and background info on the world I've built. I may not use hardly any of it, but it helps.

8 does your main character share any similarities to yourself? 

No, she's feisty and takes no crap. I'm the opposite.

 It's not a classic romance. It also takes you to holiday destinations people wouldn't think of to see.

10 do you have any future projects?

Yes, book 2 in the series is in the editing process and will be bring posted soon. Possibly December. And book three is under the planning stage.
