Welcome to Maggie Nash who lives in Australia! Maggie and I almost met during my visit to that amazing continent last authumn.
What turned you into a writer rather than a reader?
The Truth? I ran out of books to read...really!
How long does it take you to write a book from first idea to final edit?
I’m getting faster, thank goodness! My first novel took 3 years. Now I can knock off a book in around 3 months. Yay me!
Which bit of writing a book do you enjoy most?
I love it the most when the characters take on a life of their own and the words just flow through the end of my fingers as I type. There is no better feeling J
How long did it take you to find a publisher?
Triskelion was the second publisher I submitted to. They bought the book after 36 hours which was pretty amazing. One of the things about epublishing I like. Less waiting...LOL
Do you have any bad writing habits?
I just have to lose that habit of using just...and well...and a few other overused words...and that ellipsis thing. I mean...it’s just plain annoying...LOL
Is there a book you’d love to write someday?
A New York times bestseller of course!
Can you write whenever you want to?
I would, but the kids need feeding and I have to pay a few bills. Maybe one day - sigh

I know you don't have much time right now, and maybe you'll come back and tell us more in a few weeks when things are calmer. Thanks for being my first guest blogger, Maggie!
