When I first started writing I thought I had to be inspired to write, and have a sweeping view of unspoilt countryside, a scented candle on the go, my lucky slippers etc. In reality, it has to be treated like a job, and you have to do it regulary to improve. Everything and anything inspires my writing. You can become very insular as a writer, and you have to make yourself get out there and mix with people, try new things. My number one inspiration is people watching and overhearing snippets of conversation - and a phone call from my mother can often yield several chapters of comic material!

Not as much of a question as a comment, it seems like many of the characters in the Erika Foster series come from underrepresented groups. I'm really thrilled to see nuanced depictions of women, people who identify as LGBTQ, and people of color. Did you intend to write in more diverse characters or did it just unfold naturally?

I have read the 2 DCI Foster thrillers and have enjoyed them very much. I look forward to the next one in the series. I wonder why you live in Slovakia? I liked that you include Erika's sister and a bit of background of Erika being from there. Will you include more about Slovakia in future books? I love to learn about unfamiliar places. Again, thanks for entertaining me with your writing.
