What literary pilgrimages have you gone on?
I have sat in the same hotel restaurants as some famous writers such as Ernest Hemingway in NewYork. It was such an amazing feeling picturing him there lingering over a coffee.
I have gone to places featured in some of my favourite novels- Mary Stewart’s Madam, Will You Talk? for example, which is set in the French Rivera. I imagined her visiting those beautiful villages and towns around Nice as I toured the area. It added a new dimension to my holiday.
What is the first book that made you cry?
Black Beauty made me howl! I grew up with horses so that’s why I was so emotional.
What is the most unethical practice in the publishing industry?
The most unethical practices in the publishing industry right now are piracy and plagiarism. It’s so unfair to writers who work so hard to make a career out of their creativity.
Does writing energize or exhaust you?
Writing both energises and exhausts me, often on a daily basis! It often depends on the book- some are harder than others.
Tell us a little bit about your book...
Penniless Virgin to Sicilian’s Bride is a story about a man, Gabriel Salvetti,who is so ashamed of his criminal family background he enters into a marriage of convenience with a respectable virginal aristocrat, Francesca Mancini, who is in need of money to save her ancestral home. Shame is a concept that creates lots of conflict in our lives and I enjoyed exploring it with these two characters.
