Never Coming Home was a finalist in an American contest in 2009. There was a lot of interest in the book, but it didn't find a publisher until I pitched it to Choc-Lit at the Romantic Novelists' Association's conference in Greenwich in 2010. Choc-Lit ha a panel of readers who assess every submission they receive. The panel liked it and I was offered a contract, but it still took a year to get a publication slot. I am very grateful to the ladies who made up the panel - and say so at every opportunity. They've changed my life! Before that I'd been writing for a long time, experimenting with genres until I found the one I really wanted to write - romantic thrillers - the genre known in the States as romantic suspense.
Do you have a set daily writing routine?
That would be top of my wish list, but I never seem to be able to organize it. I write where and when I can. Trains are a good place.
