So, Kathryn, you've had some interesting jobs aside from writing -
phone psychic and community television star, to name a few! (please explain) Would you ever incorporate these into a book?
I hadn't before but I am now! The phone psychic job was
actually really depressing. I thought it'd be a hoot but about 90% of the
calls were "I'm in love with a married man. Will he leave his wife
for me?" You don't need to be a psychic to answer that. I'm
sure it could be worked into a much more fun scenario than that.
As you tend to write the raunchier side of things,
what happens when you have a 'headache'?!
I think about food! Like a chewy, fruit macaroon with creamy
filling ... you get the idea. Then take all those emotions and put them
into sex. Other than that, I guess it's like anything. How do you write
an action scene when you can't be bothered getting off the couch?
What's the worst thing about writing for you?
The marketing side. I wish someone would do that
for me. Someone who doesn't charge a fortune. I don't even want them
to do it for me, to be honest. I'd be happy if they told me what to
do. Or people could just buy my books and I wouldn't need to do
anything.
Dream time. Ultimate dinner party? You can have anyone dead or alive there - who
would you have and why?
I'd probably have to get some celebrity chef in so they
could do all the cooking instead of me. That way everyone would make it
out alive and I could relax and drink wine.
Jensen Ackles because he's so pretty!
Helena Bonham Carter because she's awesome.
And maybe someone who knows the secrets of Amazon's
algorithms so I can ply them with alcohol and find out all the secrets!
Now, I'm definitely with you on that!
Could you ditch the saucy stuff and write slushy romance for
the right price?
Hells yeah! For the right price I'd write just about
anything. Except maybe lactation porn.
Oooh, felt just a little bit sick there! You need to distract me and describe yourself as a writer in five words.
Sassy, whimsical, risque, evocative, redolent.

Before I get to book-related stuff, I’d like to introduce you to a lovely lady I met on Twitter last night (@maggiewatts). She’s on a mission - with a subject very dear to my heart. Pancreatic cancer still continues to be the silent, speedy killer and very little time or money goes into research. PLEASE read her story and sign the government petition here. Go on - do your bit, and make the Misfit happy!
My December novel is ready to go for the 12th and has a yummy looking cover - watch this space ...
