Claudia seems to have the perfect life.
She's heavily pregnant with a much wanted baby, she has a loving husband, and a beautiful home.
And then Zoe steps into her life. Zoe has come to help Claudia when her baby arrives.
But there's something about Zoe that Claudia doesn't like. Or trust.
And when she finds Zoe in her bedroom, Claudia's anxiety turns to real fear ...
When I was planning this crime fiction feature week I was anticipating maybe a couple of interviews during the week, I certainly did not expect the fantastic response that I got which means that there will be at least one interview a day, sometimes two. My interview guest today is Samantha Hayes who writes psychological thrillers that include Until You're Mine which has just been published.
Tell us a little bit about yourself and how you came to be a crime writer?
I was born in Coventry and have lived in Warwickshire most of my life, apart from a few years in Australia and the USA. I’ve always written stories, right from when I was eight or nine. As a kid, it was kind of an escape. My parents were divorced and sometimes life at home was difficult. Writing took me away from all that. I always wrote about the darker side of life, which has translated into writing crime fiction now. Having left school aged sixteen and trying my hand at a raft of other jobs, I never really wanted to anything else but write. In 2003 I won a short story competition, hich gave me the confidence to try longer fiction.
Tell us something about yourself that your readers probably don’t already know?
I could fly a plane before I could drive a car. I had to sit on a cushion to see out of the cockpit window. I was fifteen when I first spun a two-seater Cessna aircraft from 5000 feet. I’m now very scared of heights. And flying.
