I grew up in Southern England - Hampshire, to be precise. About twenty miles from Chawton, where Jane Austen lived. Um...yeah, it probably did have an influence on me. LOL I do believe that having walked the fields and countryside, much of which might well look close to the way it did a couple of hundred years or so ago, makes it easier for me to write a Regency novel and set it accurately into that time. The birds, the scents, the light...unique to each location.

That's a difficult question to answer. In school writing was expected. I wrote essay after essay, without questioning it. Some became short stories (still in school) and the actual craft of writing was probably honed at that time. My first book, however? That was waaaay back nearly thirty years ago now. Published by Zebra/Kensington. A sweet Regency under another name and now out of print. From then on, I was hooked.
