GUEST POST

What is something unique and quirky about you?

I love the ocean and I will swim even when it’s freezing cold in the winter. After a few minutes I acclimatize to it. I’m never far from the water. I haven’t been swimming as much lately because I’ve been tucked away writing, but the water is one of my favorite places to be. I find it to be very soothing and calming for me. In Australia the water isn’t calm though so you have to be able to jump under the waves otherwise the sea will toss you around and make you want to get out. I learned how to duck the waves and body surf (not very good at it) which is fun. Haven’t tried the surfboard thing yet. Don’t think I want to, I just enjoy being in the water and splashing around. Anywhere in nature really. I like plants as well and I’m working on building my little veggie garden up. So far I haven’t killed anything yet! I am a visual fantasy illustrator and I love drawing as much as I love writing. I like to draw quirky, whimsical characters with loads of color.





Which of your novels can you imagine being made into a movie?

I would say this Sara Clemens mystery series starting with CheckMate because it’s a cool detective series. A few of my readers have made mention that my books remind them of Nancy Drew, except mine aren’t PG. Lol! I do like Veronica Mars, Castle, Rizzoli and Isles which is based on a crime book written by Tess Gerritsen; so it can work. My main character; Sara Clemens the private investigator is serious-minded, but comes across as a little green when she starts, straight laced, but the bad ass is undercover, Robert Elliot; the suspect brings this side out of her, the taboo which I think would make for interesting viewing, she has funny traits and a good relationship Hawk - my rogue assassin who has the gift of prophetic sight through the energy of a Hawk, which I think is unique and cool. The supermodel Evana will surprise you, she’s a side character and graduates from being a drugged-up supermodel as the series moves forward. Elliot is different than what you think as the main guy everyone is chasing. In each book there is a bad villain too. I definitely think it could work as a movie series.





Do you prefer to write in silence or with noise?

I prefer to write in silence. I can hear my imagination going to work. I see the characters in my mind. Then I go to work in bringing their conversations to life. Sometimes if I’m writing a fast-paced scene, I will put suspense music on to get into the vibe. It works well for me. Or like a chase scene. If I’m writing a soppy scene, I will put soft piano music or something like that to envelop that feeling. I’ve tried having music on in the background with lyrics and the words from the song get confused in my head and I start writing them and mixing with my story. Doesn’t work! Either that or I stop writing and watch the screen.
