Author Q&A
2.
If you could tell your younger writing self
anything, what would it be?
Pick
one story and finish it. The encouragement of my sister and niece followed by
the discipline of bagging a place on the Romantic Novelists Association’s New
Writing Scheme helped me do that, eventually.
3.
Favorite childhood memory involving books?
I
can still remember the sense of anticipation I felt on my way home from the
library with a bagful of books.
4.
Did you want to be an author when you grew up?
Not
that I can remember but I was an incredible bookworm. I regularly read six
library books a week on top of schoolwork.
5.
What is your most unusual writing quirk?
Probably
not unusual amongst writers, but I have been known to get up in the middle of
the night to write down something I don’t want to forget.
6.
If you could own any animal as a pet, what would
it be?
Our
cat is an incredible little character so it has to be a cat for me.
7.
What is the first book that made you cry?
Black Beauty by Anna Sewell. It did have a happy
ending though.
8.
How long, on average, does it take you to write a book?
Is a book ever finished? Seriously it probably
takes me a couple of months or so to finish a first draft and another month at
least to edit it. I find each book is different so this can vary.
9.
What creature do you consider your
"spirit animal" to be?
I think it must be the horse. People relied on
horses for transport in the Regency era but even so I seem to mention them a
lot.
10.
What fictional character would you
want to be friends with in real life?
Elizabeth Bennett. I’m sure she would be great
fun.
11.
Do you have any advice for aspiring writers?
Have the confidence to take your writing
seriously. If you are writing romance try and get a place on the Romantic Novelists
Association’s New Writers Scheme. Knowing someone is waiting to read your
manuscript is a great discipline. Plus, you will find wonderful friendship and
support.
12.
What is your favorite genre to read?
I love both historical and contemporary romance
and crime, especially cosy crime. My favourite is probably historical romance
but it can vary. I have phases of reading one particular type of story and then
switch to another.
Author Bio
– Josie lives in the English midlands, surrounded by towns full of
history such as Evesham, Stratford-Upon- Avon, Warwick and Worcester. Which is
perhaps why her favourite reads are historical. Out of all the periods to
choose from the Regency Era stirs her imagination the most. The true Regency
lasted from 1811 until 1820 but dates as wide as 1789 to 1837 have been
included in the extended Regency period. For Josie the true flavour of this
period emerges after the iniquitous hair powder tax of 1795, unsurprisingly,
scuppered the fashion for hair powder almost overnight.
Josie has always dabbled in stories but it
took the combined efforts of her sister and eldest niece to set her on the path
to writing novels. Her Regency romances, with a dash of adventure and intrigue,
are the result.
