Writer and blogger Sarah Tinsley was kind enough to host me on her blog this week and let me blather on about No Good Deed. You can check out the post here and please do explore the rest of her website — she does some really interesting things for writers.
I told Sarah about the trip I made to the Central African Republic in 2016 and how it inspired me to write this novel; I talked about why I decided to self-publish this time after publishing my three previous books with a traditional publisher; and I discussed why this book is particularly important to me. She was kind enough to describe No Good Deed as “a tightly strung, powerful book”.
It was so generous of Sarah to offer me this opportunity — she has been wonderfully supportive of my writing over the years. The work of booklovers like Sarah — people who take the time to read your book, ask thoughtful questions and then spread the word — is so important. Not only because it helps raise a book’s profile but also because it gives us writers a boost, filling us with the courage to face that blank page once again, to dare to create new worlds and new stories.
So I just wanted to say thank you very much to Sarah, and all the writers, readers and book bloggers who make this all worth while. Our festive goldie Simba says thank you too!
