Why, Scottish Werebear 2 (A Dangerous Business), of course! I'm currently writing the first draft, then it'll go through edits and be sent out to early reviewers. I hope to have it ready and live on Amazon in October/November 2015.
I've also just signed a contract to get the first book in the Scottish Werebears series (An Unexpected Affair), to be produced as an audiobook, though of course I'm not personally working on that, the narrator is! Still, it's all very exciting and I can't wait to share the end product with you all.

This is going to sound like a cliché, but just write! I always thought I didn't have enough ideas to be a real writer, but then one day I decided to sit down and write a story, and the end-result wasn't half bad. (No, I'm not going to show anyone that first story!) The only way to go from aspiring writer to actual writer is to finish a story/novella/novel/whatever. And if it sucks, that's okay, just try again.

Habits and routine. It may sound boring, but I don't as such wait until I'm "inspired" to write, instead I strongly rely on my routine to get me in the right frame of mind. I have to have my morning tea (milk, no sugar), and ideally I need to be on my own. After answering emails, maybe checking out social media, I open my writing software (Scrivener), and read through the last thing I wrote, perhaps do some light editing. Once I feel I'm "in the world", I try to finish the last chapter I was on, or start a new one, depending on where I am in the story. My goal is to write at least one chapter a day. If the words don't come after that, I might do a little admin work, perhaps make another cup of tea, then try again.
