QUICKFIRE ROUND
-Describe yourself in three words.
Lover, Fighter, Joker-What's the last book you read?
It was actually Love's Sacrifice by Erin Everleigh.
-What's the most influential book you've ever read?
There have been so many, it's hard to choose just one, but as controversial as this may seem to the high-brow readers, the Twilight series was the series that stayed with me, gave me a kick up the backside, and inspired me to write.
-What's your OTP?
In books? I'm going to be bias and say Izzy Moffit and Ethan Walker from The Road to Wonderland series. ;)
INTERVIEW
-What inspired you to start writing?
I've always been writing in dribs and drabs, but I was always embarrassed by it. I hid it for so long. After reading Twilight, I became obsessed with trying to create something that could make me feel the way those books made me feel when I read them.-What's your favorite genre to write and/or read?
Romance, romance, romance. Whether it's clean, dirty, young or old, I love writing about love.-Do you plan or go with the flow when it comes to writing?
Go with the flow. Worst. Planner. Ever. *head desks*-Tease us! What are you currently working on? What can readers expect from your next book and/or future works?
Synopsis:
"Seven breaths left in her chest, yet I looked back at him. He wasn’t meant to be there on the darkest night of my life, but the mysterious Alex Law continued to make a habit of showing up when I least expected him. With one look in his eyes, everything I’d ever been before him drifted away, and everything I was about to become revolved around him.
Grief threatened to ruin me no matter how hard I fought, and Alex had demons of his own to deal with, yet we found a comfort in each other’s pain. We found ourselves alone, two people becoming one. Just us. Natalie and Alex. Natexus. As long as we had each other, we thought we could make it through anything.
We didn't know there were things out there waiting to destroy us: people we couldn’t escape, fates we couldn’t outrun and regrets we couldn’t avoid. Not all love stories go the same way, and ours was about to take a turn neither one of us could have foreseen. All I could do was stand by and watch as my world fell apart for a second time.
I knew there had been life before Alex Law.
I just had to figure out if there was life after him…
That beautiful, tragic first love of mine.
- Natalie Vincent."

Victoria L James is a teenage girl stuck in a thirty-something year-old's body. Living somewhere 'oop north' in England, she has had a strong passion for words and stories going as far back as she can remember, which she credits to her grandmother and her love of reading anything that was on sale and cheap from the local market stall. Never once did she think she would release a novel, though. At best, she thought her love of language and her ability to create stories in her mind would provide her with a 'get out of jail free' card whenever she messed up and her parents were mad at her during her teenage years... and when even that didn't work out, she thought she was pretty much done for.
When an opportunity presented itself for her to take a back seat from paid working life for a few years, she knew straight away that she had to try and write about a few of these worlds she'd come up with along the way, and quieten all the voices in her head without racking up a heavy psychiatry bill for the pleasure.
Wearing her heart on her sleeve and trying to lighten her friends’ and family’s lives with naff, and more often than not, badly-timed, nineties jokes, she has yet to learn the art of knowing when to shut up. Which is another reason writing became a passion of hers. With pen and paper, there are no limits.
A firm believer in never quitting, with a ridiculous obsession for all things Rocky, she hopes that one day she writes a story that will inspire at least one person out there to keep on going if they're struggling. Other than that, she's just a regular old converse wearing, corona sipping, English version of Chandler Bing, who loves and adores her family more than life itself. Oh, and she also has two cats. Every writer has to mention their cats, right?
