Where
did you get the idea for your book from?
My daughter had a dream about my late husband, where he gave her the
message 'Wear bright colours for me' that became the title. I was
also inspired by my grandsons and his friend Isla, who have been
extremely close since nursery school. They are inseparable. They made
me think that they could have met in a previous life....I had read a great deal about reincarnation and was interested in the subject. I wanted to write something about it.
Are the characters based on anyone you know?
Well...they
weren't intentionally ( except Alex and Isla as the two children, but
not older), However, some of the characters reminded me of some
people, although I'm not saying who!
What are your thoughts on reincarnation?
After
all the research, I am very open minded. There could possibly be
something in it.
What are your thoughts on Karma?
I
don't think it's the strict karma of some beliefs, but I do believe
that some things are destined and you get good or bad things happen
to you relating to past deeds.
Do
you think there's a lesson somewhere in your book?
Yes,
I actually think it's a very moral book. The message seems to be that
certain behaviours and values bring rewards, whilst others bring
punishment...in some form or another.
Which time period did you prefer?
I
liked them all. I really enjoyed researching each and every one. If I
had to choose, it would be the gypsies in Victorian times.
Have you any plans for further books on the topic of reincarnation?
I
have some ideas, but it depends on the success of the first book. I
would like next time to have one person who remembers their previous
life or lives and tries to solve mysteries from them.
9What is your writing day like?
Very
disorganised. I get up and deal with correspondence first. From then
on its anyone's guess. If I have time I will write for an hour or
two, then do chores etc. If not, the writing will take place later in
the day...sometimes in the middle of the night. Other times if I am
deeply into a book, I might write for most of the day.
What are you writing at the moment?
I
have almost finished editing "Gone and Forgotten" a crime
thriller. I will then start on the third book in the 'French Letter'
series..."Fall of the French Letter King".
