INTERVIEW
RIU: Hi, Kathleen!
Welcome to Rising Indies United. Please tell us a little bit about yourself.
I have been writing full time for just over twelve months. I live in the one of the nicest places in Australia, Brisbane, Queensland. If you love the heat Queensland is definitely for you.

RIU: When did you
first begin writing? Did you find it daunting or did you just jump in feet
first?
I helped another author out in early 2014 with some of
her books. She encouraged me to give my over active imagination full reign so I
quit my job and began writing. It was and is very daunting but I did kind of
jump in feet first. I love it though, I can’t imagine doing anything else now.
RIU: Where do you
find inspiration? And can you tell us about one or more of how you were
inspired to write your books?
Inspiration? Lord, it’s all in my head.
RIU: Who have been
your biggest supporters?
There are too many blogs to name just one. Without the
support of bloggers and fellow authors, I doubt I would have very well.
At home it would definitely be my hubby, he’s my rock.

RIU: What is the
hardest part of writing? What is the best part?
Hardest: Making myself sit down and write.
Best: There are times when it flows, those are the best.

RIU: Who has been
your biggest influence?
There are many Authors I look up to, who have encouraged
me and helped me.
The biggest influence would have to be my PA Maci Dillon. I bounce ideas off her all the time, she’s amazing.

RIU: What is your
writing process?
I do a rough outline, chapter by chapter and go from
there. It’s easier for me if I have a rough idea of where the story will be
going before the voices in my head all start talking at once.
RIU: What advice
would you give a new writer?
Be consistent and have a word count and stick to it. Find
an Author who is successful in the genre you are writing in and copy every
freaking thing they do – not their work, their actions.
RIU: If you could
have dinner with any 5 writers (dead or alive) who would they be and why?
Gwendolyn Grace – we share the same PA Maci Dillon and
she seems like a really nice chick.
JR Ward – I love paranormal and her Black Dagger Brotherhood is my favourite series.
Laurell K Hamilton – Have you read her works? OMG she’s amazing and her personal life is just as interesting.
Lili St Germain – she lives in Australia, so it is do-able and her Gypsy Brothers series is fantastic.
Harlow Brown – she is a very new author. She hasn’t even released her first novel yet but I’ve spoken with her on FB and she’s a really nice person. A sample from her book had me in tears – so looking forward to reading that!

RIU: What can we
expect from you in the future?
I have another two more books planned for the Savage
Angels MC but I don’t want to say that will be all, sometimes the characters
don’t like to be left out.
I am writing a spin-off series to the Savage Angels MC called the Grinders, if you’ve read my works you’ll know it’s going to be a rockstar series.
AND I also have something else planned…but not sharing that yet J
