Now, lets get on with our interview!
Do you write under your real name or is this a pen name you
use?
I don’t write under my real name but write under the
pseudonym of Lesley Field
Where are you from?
I live in a village on the North Yorkshire Coast.
List 3 interesting facts about yourself.
I have a really wicked sense of humour
I love a skinny latte
My favourite country is Canada, which is the setting for my
contemporary books.
What was the first thing you ever had published?
The first novel I had published was an historical romance,
“Dangerous Entrapment.” It was published
in August 2015, and was shortlisted for Historical Novel of the Year 2016 by
the Romantic Novelists Association.
Do you have a writing routine?
I try to write most afternoons, and sometimes manage an hour
in the evening.
Do you have any writing rituals?
The only ritual I have is to get set up. I write at the
dining table, so it’s a case of setting up the laptop and, if it’s winter, making
sure that I have a nice fleece to throw over my knees if it’s really cold. I also have a note book to hand, relevant to
the novel I am working on, which will contain all of the information on the
characters and notes on the plot line. I also keep a check on the Chapters as
I’m writing.
Where did the idea for your most recent book come from?
My most recent book is “Betrayal,” which is due for release
on 27th February 2018. It’s set in a fictional town outside Calgary,
Alberta, Canada. The idea simply came
out of my head. My mum always said that
I had a vivid imagination, and I guess she was right. I did, in my former life
work in the law, so putting my heroine in the same occupation clearly came from
there. Setting it in Canada was easy as it’s the home of my heart.
Who was the first person you shared your book with?
I don’t really share my book with anyone before it goes for
submission. I may mention a few things to my husband, but he never knows what
the book is really about until he downloads it after release.
Do you have a current work in progress?
At the moment I am working on a series of historical novels.
The series will be called, Lords in Love. I have books 1 and 2 completed and am
working on book 3 at the moment. There is a 4th book in the series
that is still in my head.
Do you have any advice for budding authors?
Never give up. Take
rejection with a smile (or a grimace if you want). Never think that because you
have one book published you have made it.
It’s a tough life being an author, but keep writing and keep
submitting. Above all, keep
reading. It could be one little mention
in a book you are reading that gives you an idea for a new novel. But, never,
ever, copy anyone else’s work.
BOOK BLURB
“Betrayal.”
If Jessica had known that her life
was about to be shattered she would never have returned home early. Betrayed in
the cruellest of ways, and disillusioned with her legal profession, she
abandons the life she thought she had.
Staying
with her cousin in another city, circumstances force Jessica into a hotel for a
few nights. There, she meets Grey,
and she abandons her inhibitions in a one night stand – a night of passion
where she discovers a connection between them that can’t be denied. But she
leaves before he wakes, knowing she will never see him again.
Settled into a new job, in a new
town, the one person she thought never to see again comes back into her life,
and offers her a new start, but a discovery threatens to destroy any future
happiness.
Has she been betrayed again? Can
she trust again? And what will she do when the one person she wants is in
danger...
Amazon – “Betrayal,” e-book and print. Available for
pre-order.
