I'm working on the 3rd Oni Fighters now. Seth's book. It will be called Challenge. I'm hoping to have it out around April/May. Unfortunately I have a HUGe workload outside of writing or it would be here much sooner.
I think there may be one or two more in the series. I've been getting a lot of pressure to write Detective Mark's story and also Jared's. Not sure yet.
I promised the next one I write after Challenge will be a Centre Games book, plus I've got a lot of ideas for some other stories as well. I didn't realise this but apparently Len Todd and the Tom Anderson "The Boss" know each other......interesting times....

It's out now!

Hey Sarah, I'm looking to release late October early November. I'm well into it now. Hoping to have it finished by the end of Sept. So with time for editing and production I'm guessing around then.
Cover will be released in the next few weeks...

The hardest part I find is the marketing of my books. I generally find that if someone reads my books they tend to fall in love with them and want the rest immediately. It's just getting them to know that I have books they might want to read. The indie scene is forever changing and what worked today for marketing won't work tomorrow. So yeah that's frustrating for me.
Natalie Gayle
Absolutely. That's the great thing about writing fiction and self publishing you can write about anything.
Natalie Gayle
It can be either very long, very short or somewhere in between. Sometimes an idea comes to you and you get it down immediately. Other times you need to spin it around in your mind a little more. Other times it takes years or never for an idea to make it into a book.
Natalie Gayle
Yes I do. I'm a bit of a split personality. I manage large scale IT projects professionally so I tend to be very detailed an analytical. Once I start to let the creative side of me take over I don't actually plan anything. But everything seems to come out neatly and planned. So I guess my subconscious takes over and does that bit for me.

Mmm, interesting question. I've read tens of thousands of books over the years. It's hard for me to exactly pin point which authors have really influenced me. I'd say it's more a case of reading many authors from all different genres and countries that has influenced me. Thinking further I'm not sure I'd use the word influenced either. I'd probably say inspired.
Natalie Gayle
Ignore it and keep writing.
Natalie Gayle
Can I get back to you on that?
Natalie Gayle
Stop worrying and write the damned book!

I'm working on the 4th book in my Centre Games series. Jazz and Quade's book. It's going to be interesting! I also have a lot of pressure for this book because Jazz and Quade are fan favourites.

I turn up some heavy rock music and sit down at my computer and just let it get started.

The idea for my most recent book Finding Freedom essentially came from a school friend of mine. A lot of the book has parallels to her life. I've added a bit on organised crime and a few other things but the performance enhancing drugs and the gym scene are all hers.
