We start with your beginnings, since when do you write? How did your interest in writing?
I have written poetry and short stories from a very young age. I won my first poetry contest aged 12. Novel writing came about five years ago when I was encouraged by a friend to lengthen a short story. It has been received extremely well by readers, and I am glad I made the move.

You’ve published articles in magazines of United Kingdom and Cyprus. What difference to both countries in the literature?
I wrote medical articles for one magazine in the UK. The ones in Cyprus were more lifestyle type articles.
