AUTHOR INTERVIEW. _SASSY_39 INSTAGRAM. GOODREADS. JUNE 2021.

5). What was your favourite part of the publishing journey?
I absolutely love editing. I love to get everything correct and perfect. Until you do it you would not realise just how complex a paragraph is. When I am editing mistakes jump out at me from the page. Now that I am here, I am enjoying the marketing stage. My background is in Sales and Marketing in the pharmaceutical industry and I have an MBA. I have had an interesting life, and I am enjoying getting to know and understand the ‘Book World’. One thing I like is that ‘Book People’ absolutely love books!

6). Are you from a literary background?
Not at all. I consider myself to be lucky in life. I grew up in Liverpool in a poor social family that was joining the new middle classes. I went to Grammar School, and I saw glimpses of the ‘good life’, but I can always remember my mum and dad working seven days a week to make my life possible. I like to think that I am naturally literary, and I always wanted to be a Writer. I remember writing my Autobiography at school when I was eleven. I still have it. I suppose, now, I am beginning to see the big picture, literature is not just about words on paper, but a whole world of people all with that same ‘love of books’ thing!

7). How is life in Cambridge?
Life, most of the time, now, is relatively comfortable. It has been hard to get to this point, but now I can begin to enjoy it. Cambridge is cosmopolitan and steeped in history and academia. It has two faces, the colleges and the real people that has a strong London influence. I love it and I love the breadth of choice of things to do, and most of all different people and cultures to see!
