 Leslie of ‘Under My Apple Tree’

 Serena of ‘Savvy Verse & Wit’

 Vicki of ‘I’d Rather Be At The Beach’

 This is a great way to plan out your reading week and see what others are currently reading as well… you never know where that next “must read” book will come from!

 …

This week, my new book on the shelf, features an author request which was sent via NetGalley.

In fact, when I suggested to the author that, further down the line she might like to consider taking part in ‘Meet The Author’ with a guest post, she was so quick off the mark with her copy, that I have incorporated her lovely spontaneous post into Mailbox Monday, for you all to enjoy …

The Book‘PRIME DECEPTION’

Meet The Author … CARYS JONES

Image Of Author Carys JonesHi, I’m Carys Jones and I hail from Shropshire, England, where I live with my husband, two guinea pigs and my adored canine companion, Rollo.

I love nothing more than to write and create stories which ignite the reader’s imagination. To me, there is no greater feeling then when you lose yourself in a great story and it is that feeling of ultimate escapism which I try to bring to my books, drawing inspiration from more or less anything and everything.

John Green, Jodi Picoult and Virginia Andrews are among my favourite authors and when I am not writing I like to indulge my inner geek by watching science- fiction films or playing video games.

I DON’T WRITE ALONE

I think that the most unique aspect of my writing habits is that I don’t write alone. Whenever I sit down to write I am joined by my two year old Cavalier, Rollo. Normally he sits either across my shoulders or on my lap. The latter can be quite tricky when I’m trying to balance my laptop on my knees to write. Sometimes he snores or barks in his sleep so loud that it can be hard to concentrate!

He’s my constant companion and when I need to clear my head or focus on some story ideas I take him for a walk in the woodlands near my home.

Writing can be such a solitary pursuit so it’s nice to have some company with me throughout the day when I’m working. And sometimes he attempts to contribute by tapping his paw upon the keyboard!

Thanks to Carys and of course Rollo, for stopping by today.

I am looking forward to sharing some of your great ‘new finds’ this week.

I can’t remember a time, even as a child, when I haven’t been passionate about books and reading.
I began blogging, when I realised just how many other people out there shared my passion for the written word and I have been continually amazed at the wealth of books that are available and the amount of great new friends I have made, from literally 'The Four Corners Of The World'.
