CARMEL ... ON WRITING
When I write, my characters become real to me. I hear their voices throughout the day, whispering their truths. And they always seem to know their own path, which is often different to the one I set them on in the opening chapters!
I’m a heart on my sleeve type of gal and my books are like that too. They will make you cry and laugh. I do both when I write them! When a storyline involves any hurt inflicted on children, you can be guaranteed I sobbed while writing it!
For me, my books are a little like this: sometimes in life, it rains, sometimes the sun shines. But when you have both, that's when the magic happens and a beautiful rainbow appears. My hope is that my readers see all of the colours of the rainbow when they get to THE END of my books.
