Where did you grow up, and how did this influence your writing?
I grew up in East London and was fortunate enough to attend an excellent primary school. The Headmistress at the time encouraged creative writing, and I flourished. I won an inter-schools' writing competition aged 11, and remember receiving a certificate in front of the whole school. This of course spurred me on to write further. I still have the certificate, albeit a little yellowed and frayed around the edges.....
What motivated you to become an indie author?
I get to keep the rights to my book!
