I\u2019d had the idea for a couple of years but in 2020 with little else to occupy me (other than a newborn baby!) I decided to give it a go. I wrote the first 30,000 words and then put it in a drawer for another eighteen months before dusting it off and forcing myself to finish it.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>What is your writing routine?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>I wrote <em>Bad Blood<\/em> with a really strict routine. I\u2019d have a shower, make a coffee and light a candle\u2026 every single time. I also wrote every other day before work 6-8am and then 9-12pm on a Sunday. Very rigid! But it was the only way to find the time and to keep on track!<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Can you tell us a little about your new book <a href=\"https:\/\/suffolk.spydus.co.uk\/cgi-bin\/spydus.exe\/ENQ\/WPAC\/BIBENQ?SETLVL=&amp;BRN=3732939\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><em><strong>Bad Blood<\/strong><\/em><\/a>?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><em>Bad Blood<\/em> is a crime thriller set in Maldon, Essex. It follows Justine, a criminal barrister, who is handed her first lead prosecution on a double murder case to find the defendant is her first love who disappeared without a trace 18 years prior. It leads Justine back to the town they grew up in as she looks for answers. Is the man she once loved really capable of the crimes he\u2019s charged with? And why did he disappear all those years ago? Faced with having to return home to a place full of secrets, it\u2019s not long before Justine\u2019s own past starts to catch up with her.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>What came first for you, the character of Justine or the plot?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The plot definitely came to me first. In my job as a literary agent I\u2019m always looking at the market and thinking about how commercial an idea is, so I think it was natural for me to come at this from that angle first. I came up with the idea and then it took me a little while to think, \u2018okay, so what else do I have to say? What else can I bring to the table and talk about?\u2019 and that\u2019s how Justine, with all her complexities, was born. I wanted her to be a product of everything that had happened to her, and that took more time to develop.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>In <em>Bad Blood<\/em> Justine returns to the small town she grew up in. Did you base it on anywhere in particular?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Yes it\u2019s based in Maldon, which is where I was living at the time of starting writing it. It\u2019s a beautiful little town that has a kind of holiday feel about it set around a magnificent promenade park right on the Blackwater estuary. It has such a unique sense of place, and I loved living there for a few years.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>What&#8217;s next for you?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>I\u2019m currently hard at work on book two, which is a standalone thriller set on a luxurious private island in Essex, but I have to say that finding the routine this time round has been a little more challenging! Perhaps I need to be more rigid about it again!<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>When you are not writing which authors do you enjoy reading?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>When I\u2019m not writing or reading the work of my own wonderful clients, I can be found reading Claire Douglas, Harlan Coben, Mhairi McFarlane, Nicholas Sparks and keeping up with the latest hot debut releases from publishers.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>One thing you&#8217;d love to do again and one you most certainly would not?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>I would jump at the opportunity to travel around Sri Lanka again, and I most certainly would never agree to go waterfall jumping again.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Can you tell us one thing about yourself that your readers would not
