On Friday Focus some
authors have answered questions about their writing, so I though it
only fair that I did the same. I've tried to answer questions about my
writing that the other authors didn't answer. Here we go.
The right setting is critical for a
story to work. Have any of your books started out in one setting and ended up
in another? What changes did you make and what made them necessary?
The right setting is critical for a
story to work. Have any of your books started out in one setting and ended up
in another? What changes did you make and what made them necessary?
‘The Sixth Key’ started in a modern
setting, then switched to a medieval style planet with magic. At the end of
book it switches again. This was necessary for the mystery aspect of the story.
How do you come up with the titles for
your stories?
I try to make my titles give some
guidance as to what the book is about. The title has to fit and I have to be satisfied
with it before I’m able to write the manuscript. ‘The Sixth Key’ centred on a
rhyme which had to be followed to solve the mystery. Once I decided on this
title I was able to dive into writing the book.
What was the very first thing you remember
writing?
I believe it was called “Little Lord
Fotheringay”. It was my essay entry for the 11 plus exam in England. It must
have been reasonably good as I passed the 11 plus and went to an ‘A’ stream
grammar school.
Where do you draw your inspiration from? Is
it dreams? Things you see on television or in movies. Books? People you meet?
Anything catches my imagination and a story
forms in my mind. I saw an unusual name on a boat once and have started writing
a book using that name. People in the street, something on television –
anything can supply the basis of a story for me.
How old were you when you finished your
first novel? Is that novel published today?
Oooh a lady never reveals her age. Let’s
just say I was in my forties. This novel was never published as looking back I
realise it needs a lot of editing to make it suitable for publishing. However I
learned my lesson and the second book I wrote was published and is still
available today.
Of all the characters you've created, who
is your favorite and why? Yes, I know you aren't supposed to have favorite
children, but it's okay to have a favorite character. Be sure to tell us what
book they are in.
This has to be Caishel. The first release
of the book was under the title ‘Blue and Silver’ but then I changed publishers
and the second release was called ‘Caishel’. I’m so fond of her that I named my
publishing name after her – Caishel Books. Unfortunately these books are not
available at the moment as I am no longer with the second publisher, but I do
intend to release the whole series of Cloud Kingdoms next year as self-published.
Where is the most interesting place you
have ever traveled? If you haven't travelled much, where would you absolutely
love to go?
I have travelled all over the world when my
husband was at sea, but the one place I remember as being really interesting is
Kuwait. Our family lived there for two years before the troubles with Sadam
Hussein. It was a wonderful place to live and I felt very safe there and made
many friends.
I would really like to visit New Orleans and go up the
Mississippi on a paddle boat to see the plantations etc. Apparently it’s
possible to travel as far as Memphis. Really great.
How do you choose the names of your
characters?
I start off with the initial letter of the
first name then think of lots of names starting with that. Once I find one I
like I change some of the letters around to make it different this is because
my books are fantasy so I need to the names to be a little different. There are
times when the name just pops into my mind. Whichever method I choose it has to
suit the character before I write about them.
What other books or authors do you believe
have influenced your writing? How did they influence it?
Anne McCaffrey and David Eddings. I came
across their books at the end of my teenage years and fell in love with
fantasy. It seemed to be the natural thing when I began to write my own stories
for publishing to head to the fantasy genre. I do also write romance, but my
main love is fantasy.
Has being a writer affected how you read
other books?
Definitely. I pick up any small errors in
books which sometimes spoils it for me. The main thing that puts me off is when
an author hasn’t done the research properly. This is not only new authors but
famous ones can do this too. American authors in particular can fall into the
trap that because the language is similar the settings must be similar too.
What was the best advice you ever received
about your writing? Something you keep in mind still today OR What was the best
writing tip you ever read, learned, etc.
The secret of writing is re-writing.

Friday Focus
Most people enjoy a good read. Their choice may be thrillers, comic books, non-fiction, fantasy, sci-fi, romance or one or more of the many other genres available in digital, paperback, hardback or audio format. When readers have enjoyed a book and they turn the last page, they get a feeling of satisfaction. If the book has been a particularly good one they search to see if the author has written any more in a similar vein.
My questions are – how does the author know her readers have enjoyed the book? Was there anything in the book that the reader felt could have been handled better?
The sales levels answer part of the first question, more sales – happier readers, right? This is only a partial answer to the author knowing if their readers have enjoyed the book. So how can a reader tell the author how much they’ve enjoyed reading their work? Send an email? Write a letter? There is one way which is much easier and can also lead to more sales for the author. The main reaction to the author finding the book is entertaining a lot of people is not to rub the hands with glee and picture dollar signs floating from above. It’s the warm glow inside that all he hard work of writing and publishing the book has been worthwhile. Someone enjoyed it!
So how can you let the author know? Write a review.
Most online bookstores have the ability for a reader to post a review about ebooks and audiobooks. Your comment doesn’t have to be long, merely write about the parts you enjoyed the most or that you think it’s one of the best of this genre you have read. Did you read the book in paperback or hardback? Write a review on Amazon or Goodreads or any of the other many review sites online. Local newspapers also do reviews of books and might be willing to accept your views. If you enjoy reading let the author and the world know by writing your thoughts on the book on the places it is sold or where other reviews are placed. Go on. You know you can do it and the author will thank you – not personally but with fingers on keyboard they will carry on writing for your enjoyment.

Belinda Mellor continues her insight on words used in writing. Thanks Belinda
As an editor I sometimes see words or phrases used that simply don’t fit – whether with the historical context, or situation, or experience of the characters. I think the problem comes when we take words for granted. Every word, phrase and saying has a history. If that history is too obvious then the words can sometimes stick out like a sore thumb.
But it’s possible to go too far. Where do you draw the line?
Take colours, for instance. ‘Burnt Siena’ is a rich reddish-brown colour. It is named after the Italian city-state of Sienna, which in turn was named after Senius (son of Romulus - as in one of the wolf-reared twins who were the supposed founders of Rome). On the other hand, Burnt Umber (a dark yellow-brown colour), which also shares its name with an Italian city (Umbria) actually translates as ‘shadow’; the region it is named after was known as the ‘land of shadows’. Perhaps because it doesn’t have a mythical Roman behind it makes it more acceptable. I’d let that one go, just as I’d let ‘Turquoise’ for, even though it takes its name from Turkey (the country, not the bird). However, for me there is no question at all about colours such as ‘Navy Blue’ – that one is a definite no-no if the context doesn’t warrant it.
On the subject of place name, Damask roses are named after the city of Damascus and I admit that I thought long and hard about that one in my own writing, but decided there was no good alternative. After all, Damask roses are a very specific type of rose with a texture and a scent like no other and that’s what I wanted to convey. On the other hand, I would not use the flower ‘Rose of Sharon’ in a book set in a time or setting that was unaware of the existence of that particular place. When I thought about it, I decided that my criteria was: exact word – no; derived word – yes. (But that’s not an actual rule, it’s simply my rule!)
Sometimes you just have to decide what works for you and not over-analyse it. So I would advise anyone against using Wellington boots, but woudn’t ever worry about the word ‘sandwich’. In this case, I think the capital letter is the issue: it announces that it is something named after someone, even though sandwiches, like the aforementioned boots, are so named (after an earl rather than a duke but that hardly matters!)
An author’s own experience can make a word or phrase problematic, while another author might not even notice it. For instance while ‘beyond the pale’ might to some sound slightly cliched, it probably wouldn’t worry anyone without a working knowlege of Irish history. But once you know that ‘the Pale’ referred to an area under English jurisdiction just outside of Dublin (in the 15th century) and ‘beyond the Pale’ was a 17th century British term referring to ‘unlawfulness’ or ‘uncivilised’ you might find it jarring to see it in a historical novel set for instance in Ancient Egypt or in a science fiction story where the characters hadn’t started off from Earth. And even if it doesn’t bother you, your readers might find it jarring, so if in doubt about a word or saying – check!
Curses, oaths and expletives are another issue. But that might be a subject for another day.

Steam Mountain - Rak Shoma Series 2

Steam Mountain the second book of the Rak Shoma series will be released on 21st January 2018. Although there is magic in this book, it is also a steampunk novel.
Maevens Ash and Orm continue their search for Ash's parents by riding on a mechanical carriage to Stavmo, a country based on steam. Stavmo is run by a dictator who ordains everyone must have red hair. Those without this color hair, and anyone else who goes against him, vanish into the mines or are thrown into the volcano.
Steam cars, whirlybirds, and small appliances, even guns, are all powered by steam. A huge factory has toxic smoke billowing into the air, and only the rich are able to escape the smell by living on the opposite side of town.
The magical pair make friends with the rebels and try to help them fight for their rights, but in doing so they get separated and place themselves in danger.
Excerpt
Once again, dust covered the floor of the circular room where they landed after teleporting from below. A huge wooden door closed off the entrance.
"How do we open this?" Ash gave it a shove, but the door refused to budge an inch. She tried to examine the other side with her mind, but found the door blocking her. "Orm, I can't sense the other side. We're trapped in here!" Ash felt the panic rising through her body until she thought she might choke. Instant calm flooded over her when Orm patted her arm."I think the walls and door must be lined with metal and we know metal makes it difficult to use magic, although I believe the floor is made of wood or we wouldn't have been able to teleport in from the platform. There's a lever over here. Let's see what it does."This time fear collected into a heavy mass inside her as Orm examined the lever. She hated having unknown things around her. He pulled the lever and she jumped back as the door opened with a hiss and a roar. She glanced at Orm who appeared to be frozen with terror. After a few moments he grabbed her hand and dragged her through the door. They raced up the curved corridor following the outer wall of the circular room, another roaring and hissing came from behind and Ash guessed the door had closed. They'd traveled half way round the outer wall when they came to the base of a stone staircase and stopped."I don't like this place, Orm. The noise of the door opening sounded like a wounded animal. Why do you think it made such a sound?" Ash cast a worried glance over her shoulder.
"It happened when I pulled the lever, so I think it must have been the mechanism of the door. I've never heard anything like it before and I agree, I'm not sure I trust this place. Despite you being able to check if anyone's on the next level, I don't think we should teleport and suddenly appear up there. I believe we should climb the stairs and take a good look around before we reveal ourselves."

Books Update
I've been holidaying in England so have not been writing much. I thought I should bring you up to date with books coming out in the next six months.
The second book in the Rak Shoma series will be released in November. It has a steam punk theme and is called Steam Mountain. It continues the travels of Ash and Orm who are searching for Ash's biological family using magic and a secret carriageway.
Miri's Inheritance was the first of the Village of Shadows contemporary romance series. I hope to bring the second book out in the next few months. It will be set in the same village with a different main character and story. Watch here for any updates on release date.
Fury's Ghost is the first of the Fury series and is in the final stages of editing. I hope to release this one by the end of September. It is suitable for children of 12 plus age group and as the title suggests, it concerns our heroine Fury and the ghost she finds in her new home.
Well folks, chatting to you all will not get the writing done but I hope you keep popping by to see any updates.

Merhnaz, a free book from the Cloud Kingdom series. Mehrnaz is a prequel to Book 2 of the series - Elisette.
Description
Mehrnaz of Pator and Lusak of Rak live on the planet Hejmen. They fall in love when they meet at a ball in Rak, but her parents wish her to marry Dromarn, heir to the dukedom of Marn. On their first meeting Dromarn lays down the rules for their married life and how his wife should behave. Mehrnaz informs her parents she wishes to marry Lusak, but her mother has no intention of allowing her daughter to marry a second son and refuses to allow Mehrnaz and Lusak to meet. The couple plan to elope but to meet Lusak, Mehrnaz must cross the desert alone.
ExcerptThe mattporter couldn't take the Pator party all at once and they were lifted to the sky castle in groups. Up in the castle the noble family of Rak had already greeted Duke Osrat and his family, now Tikat and his family moved forward.
Duke Davak, his wife Elisette and their three sons waited to greet them. Patak, the eldest, stood with his wife just behind his parents. Dernak, the youngest stood to one side, trying not to cough. He looked quite sickly and Mehrnaz turned to look at the other son. Her breath caught in her throat. Lusak, the Duke's middle son, looked exactly like the heroes in her books.
Dark auburn hair curled down to his collar, while his skin glowed with a tan which told of a life spent mainly outside. He caught her looking at him and winked at her.
"Mehrnaz. Mind your manners."
Her mother's nudge brought her back to her duties and she curtsied to the ducal family then moved on with her parents. Servants arrived to show them to their rooms. As they left the main dock, Mehrnaz glanced over her shoulder. Lusak watched her and this time he grinned at her and mouthed the word later.

Favourite books on my bookshelf
I love fantasy books, but which fantasy authors do I like and if I had to pick one of their books as my favourite, which one would that be? I've chosen five of my favourite authors and these are Anne McCaffrey, David Eddings, Naomi Novik, Trudi Canavan and Terry Pratchett.
Anne McCaffrey's Dragons of Pern series is wonderful, although as time went on she did tend to repeat the stories from a different angle. Now Anne is no longer with us, her son Todd has taken over the series. At first I wondered if he could live up to his mother's reputation. Surprise, surprise he breathed new life into the dragons. I also like Anne McCaffrey's other books, both solo and written with other authors. Her Planet Pirates and Crystal Singers books are breathtaking. I would say that my favourite book of this author would be Killashandra the first book of the Crystal Singers trilogy. It has life, love and humour and also drags you into the story and holds you there, while hurtling you through space.
Naomi Novik's Temeraire series took me back to Napoleonic times but introduced dragons into the history books. Once again the first book of the series is my favourite. It was wonderful how a battle could lead to so much confusion and change the life of a sea captain who thought his future to be straightforward. Taking care of a dragon egg and later the dragon who emerged and bonding with him changed his private and military life forever. However, Captain Lawrence teaches Temeraire a strict code of ethics which the dragon interprets his own way and they end up in even more trouble.
David Eddings Belgariad and Mallorean are both marvellous series in their own right. I always thought they were a lighter version of Tolkein's Middle Earth, but have to admit these books also have their dark moments. David and his wife Leigh have also written other series set in a similar time period/ background, but I think the first book of Belgariad will always remain my favourite. Pawn of Prophecy really got to me with the young befuddled hero who had no idea who he really was, or why he had got mixed up with these strange magical people. It was also the first fantasy book I read which got me hooked on the genre.
Trudi Canavan has written a beautiful series about the two different types of magic - black and white. The magicians of Imardin believe white magic is the way to go, but is it? In the third book The High Lord (my favourite) the High Lord Akkarin reveals his hidden secrets to Sonea, an apprentice magician. She is fearful but also fascinated by his revelations, but they change the world she has always known into something completely different. The whole series, plus the sequel series, makes magic seem so natural I wondered why we don't have it in our world.
And last but definitely not least Terry Pratchett. His Discworld series is fantastic. I have no idea how he comes up with all the ideas. I mean who would imagine a giant turtle with four huge elephants on his back and a flat world on top of the elephants with the whole lot flying endlessly through space? Question: Is the turtle male or female? Only Terry Pratchett can take such a concept and add humour to the mix. Now comes the difficult bit. Which one to choose as a favourite? They all have great characters but I have a soft spot for Rincewind and Granny Weatherall. I think I'd have to opt for The Colour of Magic. This book introduces the Discworld and three characters two of who continuously appear throughout the series. First there is Rincewind - Wizard - failed. He only knows one spell and isn't allowed to say it. Next is Twoflower - the Disc's first tourist and lastly his luggage - he plays a major part in this book and a minor part in one of the other Discworld books. What's so special about the luggage? For a start it moves itself around, no wheels or hoisting onto shoulders for this trunk. The Luggage (spelt with a capital L) has legs and runs after its master (or anywhere else that takes it's fancy).
I hope you enjoyed a look into my bookcase - yes I have all of these on my shelves.
