So many different genres. Romance, psychological thrillers, crime thrillers, autobiographies, non-fiction... basically, as long as it interests me, I'll give it a go.

I have a Kindle Paperwhite.

Ugh, really? But it's a mess! I work in a tiny room with work surfaces in front and to both sides of me. They're all covered. Laptop, printer, folders, drink, painkillers, vitamins, pen pots, diary, notepaper, staplers, highlighters, my phone, my Kindle, more dust and dog hair than I'd like to admit...

I started writing when I physically could. I remember as a child I was always scribbling away in notebooks, inventing imaginary worlds, deeply inspired by the Enid Blyton books I loved reading. I wish those notebooks were still around - I'm sure I'd be seriously amused at some of the content!

In terms of writing for publication, that was when I was at university studying creative writing. I started out in short stories. I got published by a couple of magazines and websites, and it spiralled from there.

They make it easy to reach places you otherwise couldn't. They also innovate and add new features, and their customer support is excellent.

Getting feedback from readers who have enjoyed my books. There's no better feeling.

Everything. Without them, I couldn't do this!

The amount of work I have to do! Plus, earning money so I can pay my bills and save up for my next holiday. I love to travel.

The freedom it gives me to have my book put out in the world however I want it to be. With the cover I want, the title I want, etc. I can also enter promotions without having to check with anyone or rely on someone else to change prices. Plus there's less waiting around when your book isn't in a queue with tons of others.

Reading, watching TV and films, working (I don't write full time - I also edit and run a promotions company for writers), spending time with my other half and our dog, walking in the countryside, travelling.
