I like to start the next one while the previous one is getting ready. Or write a few fun stories. Nothing too heavy.

What motivates you to keep writing?

For me it's the joy of seeing a story finished and knowing I wrote it.

Hi 👋 I think you're one of the only ones I've found on here.

It's hard when there are so many good books to read.

What do you love most about writing?

Powerless now has 123 reviews and ratings with an average of 4.5 stars. Why not give it a read! #book

Had a great afternoon writing. What are you working on right now? I'm just finishing off my third novel, a YA thriller about a boy who gets involved with a gang.

I'm reading this. Someone at work brought it for me. It's really interesting!

My second book Abandoned was inspired by the idea of long lost families finding each other. On TV you see people reuniting happily but what if it doesn't always go well?

What inspired your book?

Happy Valentines 💝 Hope everyone is having a good day. I'm off to the cinema with my husband to see a Marvel film.

Good morning. I'm new to Blue Sky. I'm an author of two books, Powerless and Abandoned. Would love to meet some other writers and readers.

Thanks. I'll take a look. I'm sure there's bots everywhere.

It is me. I was feeling like I was missing out on all the fun over. All I'm seeing on my feed is politics so far.

Author of two thrillers, Powerless and Abandoned.
