That's it really, at the moment I wouldn't say I was influenced by any one thing in particular.

I believe that, like most writers, my personality comes through in the fiction. So in that respect my writing can't be like any other author's really.

I brought my personality and sense of wonder and I think they wrote as much of my personality as they could. I do not go around kicking butt and saving the universe all the time but they tried to capture me as best as they could in the character.

I would like to think that I'm more different from my character than I am.

I'm way more attracted to character stuff and darker roles. It's just my personality, I guess.

All characters come from people I know, but after the initial inspiration, I tend to modify the characters so they fit with the story.

Probably every book I read influenced me in some small way. Authors like Jan Westcott, Kathleen Winsor, Catherine Cookson, Georgette Heyer, and even Barbara Cartland taught me to write character-driven stories.

I think I have character, and that is what people like in me.

Well, I think in my first two novels, both the characters are pretty neurotic, which I would say that I am.
