Hey Ana - thanks for the question.
I read a lot of different people and in a lot of different genres. I really like Ian Rankin, he's very moody and intelligent as it Tess Gerritsen - I think I like people that are able to create a mood or a tone with their stuff. You pick up a Rankin or a Gerritsen book with a blank cover and you would immediately know who you were reading!
The author that made me love written stories was Road Dahl. I think he remains the greatest story teller of all time.
The one author that I always look out for in regards new releases is Simon Kernick. I like a story that grabs you by the scruff of the neck and only lets you go when it's done. Kernick does that. I have that in mind when I write too.

I am currently reading your Maddie Ives series. I am finding the stories very good but why oh why, when they are set in and around Canterbury and places like Margate, Ashford, Thanet and Dover are mentioned, have you called the county Lennockshire? Everybody knows that they are in Kent. Also, if you are going to create a fictional place in the same county, you should use a fictional name not that is way up north?

Hi Charlie I haven’t a question but just wanted to say it’s a long time since I’ve read a book that gripped me, upset me, made me anxious. At times I had to stop reading just to stop myself panicking what I was about to read! The girls upstairs was such a good read. You’re truly gifted! Have to put a question mark for the message to go through? !
