Yes! I have many more ideas for future Erika Foster novels, and I feel I have only just begun the journey with Erika, Moss and Peterson. So long as readers want more, I will write them. I have just published book nine in the series, Chasing Shadows, and I’m working on ideas for book ten.
Right now, I can’t sign books for sale through this website. My location in Slovakia makes sending out books complicated and cost prohibitive, but I’ll keep you posted if this changes.
I post details of my book signings on my social media profiles on Facebook and Instagram, so stay tuned!
Yes, my most recent crime series is about an ex-police officer turned Private Investigator, Kate Marshall. There are 5 books in the series;Nine Elms, Shadow Sands, Darkness Falls, Devil’s Way andThe Lost Victim, and as with Detective Erika Foster, I am working on ideas for the next book in the series.
The Detective Erika Foster series is set in the U.K. Erika Foster is a Detective Chief Inspector in the London Metropolitan police, and she works as a plain clothes detective, (those who don’t wear uniforms) and plain clothes detectives do not carry guns. There are special armed units in the UK, and these police do carry guns, but as a plain clothes detective, Erika Foster does not carry a gun.
I think both comedy and drama are hard to write. But I do notice the difference in how I feel at the end of a day’s writing. Two thousand words of comedy leaves me moody and irritable and quite difficult to be around. In contrast, after a day of murder and mayhem I’m quite chipper and upbeat, cracking all those jokes I didn’t have to think up during the day. Perhaps writing crime fiction is more therapeutic.
When I finished writing the third book in the Coco Pinchard series,Coco Pinchard, the Consequences of Love and Sex,Coco had just given birth to her second son. I knew that I didn’t want to write another book about Coco until her son was older. This was back in 2012, and I can’t believe how fast the time has gone! It’s now 2025, and Coco’s son is 14 years old so it’s time to write a new Coco book – I’ve had an idea swimming around in my head for a while now, and I’m dying to write it. I just have to find the time. I love writing the characters from those books. Watch this space!
Everything and anything inspires my writing. Life as a writer means spending a great deal of time alone, but you must get out there and mix with people, try new things. My number one inspiration is people watching and overhearing snippets of conversation, but inspiration comes from everywhere.
I don’t know if writer’s block exists. Unless I physically can’t write, I will always be able to put pen to paper and write something. I’ve found a great exercise for me, when the ideas aren’t flowing, is to just write anything, even if it’s the same word over and over – a stream of consciousness if you like. It’s very liberating and often some interesting unexpected stuff can come out of it.
From an early age I wanted to be a writer, but I never imagined that I could make a living from writing, so I got sidetracked in my twenties going to drama school and then working as an actor. One of my first memories is of my dad telling stories to me and my sister. On Saturday and Sunday mornings we would go through to my parents’ room, sit at the end of their bed with tea and biscuits and listen. He wouldn’t read to us from a book, he would make them up, and I thought they were wonderful. One in particular I still remember was about the swallows nesting under the eaves of our house. He created all of these characters, like a soap opera, and on the Saturday morning there would always be a cliffhanger, which would be resolved on Sunday! I think something lit up in my mind. The power of storytelling, and I wanted to be a part of it.
I’d love to be able to roll out of bed and start writing, but dog walking comes first! Unless it’s raining, myself and my husband Ján walk the dogs. In Slovakia, we live in a town which has an abundance of beautiful old buildings and green space. We live opposite a park and the river, and I really enjoy walking there first thing in the morning, it gets ideas flowing and I love watching the seasons change, the sunlight on the river and meeting all the other half-asleep dog walkers. I try to sit down to write by nine in the morning, and I work through until half twelve. The internet needs to be off and my phone must be tucked away out of sight, or there is no hope of work being done. I find that I’m more productive after lunch, and afternoons are when I re-work what I’ve written in the morning. I become immersed in the story until I stop at four-thirty. I try to write 2,000 words a day, more if things are flowing nicely.
