I see in them some of the things I’m struggling with, or things that I want to say but don’t know how to get them out of my head in any other way. I express myself in my writing in ways that I don’t even realise until I look back on them later. Now I find myself continuing to write because it keeps me sane. So I did what the old adage said…I wrote what I wanted to read, but couldn’t find. I wrote it after coming back off a holiday where my partner and I went scuba diving and I just had this idea, because there weren’t many books out there that featured diving in them. I published my first novel, Ladyfish, in 2012 with Bold Strokes Books. It is the third instalment in the Norfolk Coast Investigation series featuring Detective Sergeant Kate Brannon and Gina Temple.įiona: When and why did you begin writing? I have a new book coming out on the 6 th of December called The Last First Time.

Now, my wife and I have a campsite in the Lake District which keeps us busy during the summer, and gives me all winter to write down the stories I plan while I’m talking to customers. I studied music at university and worked as a private tutor for a while afterwards alongside a few odd jobs psychiatric nursing, care work, driving instructor,etc, always knowing that I wanted to be a writer but not really being ready to write the stories in my head. I’m originally from Stockport, near Manchester in the UK, but I now live in The Lake District in Cumbria.įiona: A little about your self (ie, your education, family life, etc.). This is me with one of my border collies, Gabe, on a hike a couple of months ago. Hi, I’m Andrea Bramhall, and I’m 38 years old. Let’s get you introduced to everyone, shall we? Tell us your name. Hello and welcome to my blog, Author Interviews.
