Interview with Heather Mar-Gerrison

Published 2019-02-06.
What is your writing process?
It varies but quite often I have the ending all sewn up and then I have to start filling in the blanks. I'm often driving along and a scene comes into my head and I just know it has to go in the book. I always have my phone with me to make notes - so as soon as I get where I'm going, I pull it out, open my notes and start tapping away.
Do you remember the first story you ever read, and the impact it had on you?
First book I remember reading that made me want to write was Five Run Away Together by Enid Blyton. That book changed my life!
I started to write adventure series and then I got older and started on romance. I now write every single day of my life.
How do you approach cover design?
I try to always pick a design that gives you an indication of what the book is about - loosely. I write a lot of series, and I therefore try to keep the whole series looking as similar to each other as possible.
What are your five favorite books, and why?
Ooh, this changes all of the time because I'm always reading. Obviously Five Run Away Together by Enid Blyton; Call me by your name by Andre Acimen; A Woman of Substance by Barbara Taylor Bradford; The Host by Stephanie Meyer and Just A Bit Confusing by Alessandra Hazard (the whole series is great but this one is fabulous and my firm fave)
What do you read for pleasure?
I read mainly romance, be it M/F or M/M I'm really not fussy.
What is your e-reading device of choice?
My trusty Kindle Fire. Love it.
