3. What kind of research do you do, and how long do you spend researching before beginning a book?
Answer - This is my debut book so it’s been a learning curve, I have written it from the heart and learned how to self publish and market it on my own, asking fellow authors, following workshops and a lot of google research!
4. What was one of the most surprising things you learned in creating your books?
Answer - That once the book is actually written and finished that’s when the hard work starts! Especially in self publishing there is so much to learn in how to produce a good quality product and which professional tools to use for example to ensure the formatting is a professional one. I also wouldn’t do colour images anymore as the cost of printing in colour is too much and the images ended up being printed in black and white. (The ebook version of course has the full colour images)
5. Do you want each book to stand on its own, or are you trying to build a body of work with connections between each book?
