The fact that my grandparents allowed the entire family believe their disabled daughter died when she was young, on fact she died in 2012 and we have no idea how her life was for all of those years. It's heartbreaking.

More Sara Maas books. Love her stuff.

A lot of my books are set in real places although my Lunar Ryce series takes her to some new realms. I'd like nothing more than to hangout on Innerimm with Price Idris.

I stop trying to write, I take a break completely, take walks, days out. I try not to stress about it as that makes it worse.

I think Facebook stopped out friendship, glad we managed to rectify it. :D

I take a break. I walk, read, watch a move and/or talk to my husband, he has an amazing knack of listening to me complain and then tells me how he sees it. I get on social sites and chat to author friends too, I recommend you build yourself a network of good author friends, only they know the true pain of being completely stuck.
Music it very therapeutic too, stories are hidden in lyrics and good music, I swear to God!

Holding that baby in your hands for the first time, flicking the pages and taking a deep breath. I think to myself 'Look what I did.' Nothing much in life compares to seeing your work in print.

Don't talk about writing, don't think about writing, don't dream about writing, just write. Everyone has a story in their mind that someone, somewhere will love, so don't be scared, do it!
Do not let knockbacks get you down, what you write may not be for everyone, though nothing feels better than hearing that someone liked what you have written, its better than Christmas every time I get a good review.

I have four WIPS right now, Lunar Ryce 3 is coming along nicely. I am almost finished writing a London based gangster book, and hoping to get that released the end of the month. I am also working on the fourth book in the I, Immortal series, part two is out at the end of August and finally a novella, and I'm sorry, its about Vampires, but everyone loves them.

Anything that I see in every day life I can make a story out of, I just have to decide if its worth writing about or not. Though most of my books and stories come from dreams.

Its the sequel to my steamy summer romance Summer Rain and called Cruel Winter. To be honest, I didn't want to let my characters go, so I started toying with the idea of 'What happens after the happy ever after?' and went from there. I already had the characters and the setting, it was more about continuing their journey.
