Page 2 of 2 (2002-12-12)Q: When you're not writing, what do you like to do to relax? A: I love the sea, but we don't get there very often. I love the sound of the waves as they lap against the sand, or the crash of surf against rocks. There's just something about those sounds that soothe me. Ruined castles are another favourite to explore and I've always had a soft spot for the middle ages, especially Robin Hood. Q: What has the Internet meant for you as an author? A: First of all, it has helped me find publishers, as I am in the UK, but there are a lot more publishers in the US. It has also helped me to promote my books either free or at very low cost (very essential if you are on a budget.) I can also connect with my readers, I have my own newsletter and website, and I enjoy learning new skills. There's a lot an author can do on the internet to promote their work, I think with so many books being published now, any avenue that helps an author or their work get noticed is good to have.
