Q: This is the final book in the Poison Blood series and Book 3 of your contemporary romance series, the Soulmates Saga, was published in summer 2016. What new projects do you have in the pipeline?
A: Yes, Apocalypse is the conclusion to Ellie’s
story. She’s done her thing. While writing Book
3 and 4 however, I really enjoyed
writing about Amber. She became a bigger part of the story than I’d expected,
and I’m glad she did.
I want to write a spin-off
series about her. It won’t be the Poison
Blood books from her perspective, but a continuation of Amber’s story.
Or rather, letting her
story truly begin.
What does she do after the
events of PB4?
I for one want to find
out.
Let’s hope there are
others that do too!
In my Someone Like You (The Soulmates Saga, Book 3) Q&A, I said that
it’s not necessarily the last book in the series – otherwise I would’ve
called/renamed the series The Soulmates
Trilogy – because I hope to write other books about these characters.
As I write this, I have
ideas for at least two new books!
I’m really warming to the
idea of writing, not a prequel per
se, but continuing on from the events of Someone
Like You, but also going back in time to Jamie’s childhood and exploring
his life back then. It was in his childhood that he met Sarah, so she will play
a big part in this book.
The – potential –
instalment after that will be a true continuation of Mukti’s story after Someone Like You finished.
However, I want my mind to
work on these ideas and develop them into something brilliant before committing
to writing them. I want both these novels to have the same drama, romance and
twist-and-turns as their predecessors.
So SLY is the last book in the Soulmates
Saga for a while. In the interim, I want to work on something new, letting
Mukti and co. have some peace for a while.
Q: Apart from the
spin-off to the Poison Blood series,
do you have any other new projects to work on?
A: Luckily, I do. I have
an unfinished paranormal romance novel to complete (which has the potential to
turn into a trilogy, we’ll see) and I have planned a new contemporary romance
series too. I don’t want to say too much about this series, but I’m hoping
it’ll be a little more light-hearted than the Soulmates Saga, not as dark. I want this series to have a slightly
different feel to the Soulmates Saga
– just so readers don’t feel like they’re reading about the same characters
packaged up in different bodies – so I’ll make a conscious effort to ensure the
main characters aren’t as troubled or tormented as Mukti, Jamie and Jonny.
Once I start writing
however, who knows what direction the characters will take me? They tend to
have a life of their own and usually get their way!
Also, I had this idea
years and years ago about a ‘mystery’ novel. I’d like to revisit that and mould
into something I can really get my teeth into. Now, just because I read more
crime novels than any other genre, doesn’t mean I’m clever enough to write a
detective novel. I won’t do that to myself. This old idea I had in my teens has
potential though, and I’d like to put it in a format in which I am capable of
writing.
Fingers crossed I can
complete all my projects in good time. Wish me luck!
Q: Do you have any
strange writing rituals?
A: No. Well, I don’t think they’re strange…
But I do believe in
sticking to tradition when it comes to the first people that get sent my
completed manuscripts.
The person that read the
earliest, roughest draft of my debut novel
Chasing Pavements (The Soulmates Saga, Book 1), was my friend Char. Since
then, I’ve made sure to send her the first rough draft of all the books in that
series. “As per tradition” is always the subject in the e-mail I send her.
When Poison Blood, Book 1 was ready for someone else’s eyes, my friend was busy and I was on a tight schedule, so I didn’t send it to her. As a result, I’ve refrained from sending her unpublished manuscripts from that series. Strange I know, but that’s me.
