What’s the strangest thing you searched for on the internet for your novel? 

The weirdest thing I ever searched was not for If You Ask Me, but for my current WIP (out Spring 2023). I searched how much weight the top of a grand piano could hold. No comment on why. For If You Ask Me, I spent more time than I care to admit researching poetry for Dez’s tatoo.

 

What book (or author) made you fall in love with the romance genre?  

I started reading Harlequins when I was young, so long ago that I don’t remember. But the book that rekindled my love affair with romance was The Perils of Pleasure by Julie Anne Long.  

 

What is your favourite trope? Why?

Only one bed. I love it because it forces characters to confront their feelings and the proximity just heightens everything.

 

It’s the morning after, and a lover is making your main character the perfect breakfast in bed. What is it?  

If it’s Violet, Dez is making her almond croissants and a latte, but I always feel like my main characters are happy with waffles or banana chocolate chip pancakes.

 

What book are you reading currently?  

Two, actually. One Night on the Island by Josie Silver and A Brush with Love by Mazey Eddings

The rapid fire question  – To enact revenge on someone who wronged you, would you rather have a bonfire with their personal items or send them a scathing text or email? 

Scathing email, followed by regret.
