Omg 😮 it’s the end on May. Wtf? Anyway, ignoring the mess that is the world around us, the final day of the #mayauthorwipchallenge wants to know my writing goals for June. My main goal is to RELEASE #aliahenryandtheghostwriter 💃 🎉 I am very happy with the story so it will go up on #amazon for preorder this week and available 16th June- and will be available on my website on the 15th. 🎉 #writinggoals #romancereadersofinstagram #readersofinstagram #fiction #paris #france #writer #indieauthor

Day 30 of #mayauthorwipchallenge #AuthorQ&A 🌴 here’s me in Bali, reading a book and doing line edits. I miss #bali so damn much. So... here’s my Qs and As for this penultimate day of the challenge. Why do I write? If I don’t write my stories down they leak out of me at unexpected times. Have I always wanted to be a writer? Yes. I made up stories as a child and wrote my first travel memoir at 10. Did I like school? Yes and no. I loved learning but hated rules. Why am I so obsessed with Paris? Maybe I lived there in a previous existence. Would I live in France? Of course, for a short time, but not forever because I love Australia too. Is this my first book? No, I released Hotel Deja Vu in 2018 and in early 2020, a collection of novellas and short stories called Set in Paris. Any non-Paris themed books? Yes. My new story is set in Neolithic Gaul and Modern day London. It’s called Circle of Ashes. What’s something people find surprising about me? I have 6 brothers and 3 sisters. Favourite author? Too many to choose from. Kate Atkinson, Jackie French, Nina George, Bill Bryson, Elliot Perlman, Hilary Mantel, Diana Gabaldon. Worst thing about lockdown? Not going to my yoga class. Twitter? Writerpainter1 Facebook? ParisTimeTravel Best thing about being a writer? Definitely the amazon reviews. Jokes. Hanging out with other writers. Day job? A business in the tourism sector. Dream job? Full time writer and professional kitty wrangler. Nailed it.

Ridiculously proud of my new books page on my website. Readers can now buy my ebooks directly from me and @bookfunnel does all the support stuff to make the download process easy. I’m not great at techy stuff but I pushed through the doubt and frustration and I’m pretty happy with the result. https://writerpainter.com/time-step-press/ #directsales #indieauthor #writersofinstagram #fiction #readersofinstagram #aliahenryandtheghostwriter @writerpainter
