My Perfect Writing Environment
I’ve often been asked how I get into the correct headspace for writing. It’s fairly important because I don’t have a lot of free time to do it, so I have to be ready to go as soon as I sit down. So what do I need to get prepared for writing?
First things first, I need to be comfortable. Fortunately my computer desk has a decent chair, so that’s not a problem.
Secondly, I need to be dressed. People often joke about how writers can do their jobs in their dressing gowns, but I have to be fully clothed before I can get my work head on. Pyjamas won’t do it.
Thirdly, I need to have fully planned beforehand. I do this in the evening when my husband is on the computer, so that I’ll know exactly what I want to write before I start.
Fourth, I prefer the house to be empty while I do it. I can’t write properly when someone is watching TV behind me or asking me questions.
Okay, nearly empty. I like to write with a cat or two sitting on the couch near me. If I get stuck at a tricky bit, it’s nice to be able to stroke one of the cats for a few minutes.
And, of course, I don’t want to be hungry or thirsty while I write, so I’ll usually have a Pepsi Max Lime and a packet of crisps beside me. Generally no alcohol – I find a glass of wine can help while I’m planning, but not while I’m writing. Too much distraction.
Give me all these things and I’ll actually be able to get some writing done. It’s how I finished “When I Look In The Mirror” and it’s keeping me going through my next two!

When hairdresser Tatum Fox takes part in a séance at a party, her only thought is of the attractive man sitting beside her, the mysterious Zack, who appears in her dreams that night and who she hopes to see again. However, when she begins to experience paranormal activity and finds herself confronted by an unnerving client at work, she discovers that the séance summoned a demon – and Zack may be the only person who can free her of him.
Zack reveals himself to be an angel, and shows Tatum that she also has the power to battle supernatural creatures – a power that is increased through sex with him. Their connection soon strengthens, but is Tatum strong enough to defeat the demon with Zack by her side – and can there be a future with an angel, or is their passion doomed to end?

Excerpt
“What you saw wasn’t in your head. It was real.”
“What are you talking about? I saw Dante turning into a—into I don’t know what. How could that be real?”
Zack sighed, taking her hand. “Listen. There are things in this world you don’t understand. And Dante is one of them.”
Tatum gave him a look. Seriously?
“This stays between us.” Zack gently took her chin in his hand, tilting her head up to look at her directly, and then…
A sudden glittering haze seemed to surround them, and Zack’s eyes glowed white.
“What the—”
“Shh.” Zack held her still as the glitter dissipated, his eyes returning to normal. “Like I said, there are things you don’t understand. Not yet.”
“And you’re one of them? What are you?”
“You don’t need to worry about me. Worry about Dante.”
“And what’s Dante?”
Zack’s thumb caressed her cheek. “Dante is a demon.”
A demon. The idea would have seemed impossible that morning, and yet now it was somehow believable. Dante, who had given her the creeps since she first met him, who she had seen turning into a hideous creature in the mirror, was a demon.
“How do you know? Ezer has known him ages and never picked up—this.”
Zack rolled his eyes. “Ezer is great, but he’s not the kind of person to pick this up. I only invited him to see if he might have that power—he doesn’t. His senses are dead in the water.”
“And mine?”
“Besides…” Zack continued as though she hadn’t spoken. “Dante wasn’t always a demon. Remember Nicole’s party? That was when it happened. He’s been taken over.”

Thanks for having me on here!
Thank you for hosting today!
I liked the excerpt.
Thank you! I love that part.
Good evening, if this story was made into a movie, who would you like to see in the starring roles?
I’ve always pictured Gabriel Chytry as Zack. For Tatum, possibly Katherine Isabelle – she’s one of my favourite actors.
I really like the covers and the excerpts. Sounds like a really good books.
Thank you – I love that section of the book.
