Scarlett Philips writes Paranormal Reverse Harem Romance novels. She read her first RH book 4 years ago and hasn’t been able to put them down since. It was while reading one such novel that she got the idea to write her own, and thus Returning to Everton was born. She loves the paranormal and all things magic. She enjoys writing stories that are relatable but also let you escape into a fantasy world. When she’s not writing she’s spending time with her family, driving kids to and from school, and therapies. It’s a busy life, but she wouldn’t change it for the world. Scarlett loves getting messages from her readers.

What was the last book you really got into?

Since I started writing I don’t have a lot of time to read 🙁 I can’t read while I’m writing or I’ll start to incorporate things from the book in the one I’m writing, and I don’t want my books to be too similar to others. It just feels like I’m copying and that’s never my intention. So I take reading breaks between books. I really like the Shifting Society Series by Harper Frey (Sterling Thomas) and J Kearston. You should totally check them out. 😉

If there was an Olympics for everyday activities, what activity would you have a good chance at winning a medal in?

Procrastination? Like for real, gold medalist right here. Doesn’t matter what it is, I will put it off until the last possible moment… sometimes past that moment. lol

Of all of your books, which was your favourite to write?

Besides my very first book, Returning to Everton, because the first is always special, I loved writing Not Again with Iris James. It was just so fun and easy. We were always on the same wavelength. It was probably the easiest book to write too because we could bounce ideas off each other and we just had a lot of fun.

How many unpublished and half-finished books do you have?

Currently 3

How do you select the names of your characters?

Different ways. In my first book, I used my kids’ names. Mostly I use a random name generator or ask my readers. I hate naming things so if you’re in my reader’s group you will see me ask for names A LOT. I just searched my group and found at least 7 instances of me asking them to name someone/something.

How many books have you written?

5 including a co-write

If you’re planning a sequel / a new series, can you share a tiny bit about your plans for it?

Oh, I have so many ideas and books in the works. My series, Madelyne Danica, wasn’t the original idea. I had gotten halfway through the book and just said you know what this isn’t what this book is supposed to be. It just went in a completely different direction, so I started over like a month before it was due to release. I saved the original book and it’s going to be its own series… one of these days. 

Would you and your main character get along?

All of my FMCs have bits of me in them lol So I would say yes, we would all get along.

Do you prefer ebooks, printed books, or audiobooks most of the time?

Mostly ebooks because I’m very visual. I love audiobooks but again being so visual, I like to read the ebook as I listen to the audio.

What do you hope readers will take away from your stories?

That you’re worth it. You deserve to do things that make you happy. Sometimes that means taking a step out of your comfort zone, and that’s ok. Your real friends will be there for you no matter what. You have people in your corner. People that want to see you happy. Don’t worry so much about people/things that don’t really matter. Do what makes you happy… with few exceptions… you know like rape and murder… those are bad.

Marie Mistry lives in rainy Britain but spends most of her time escaping into imaginary worlds, whether that is in books or video games. She writes paranormal romance, but has written books in other genres in the past. She has a mild obsession with happily ever after and true love which she blames on a childhood full of Disney goodness.

Are you a morning person or a night owl?

I’m writing this at 1:42 am. Does that answer the question?

What’s your favourite app on your phone?

Forest. It plants trees when I focus and I like seeing virtual representations of my working hours.

If the NSA were to look at your Google search history, what’s the weirdest thing they’d find?

Haha, I’ve ALREADY been in trouble for my search history. When I was in school, writing my first series, I decided to put demons in it and, thorough newbie writer that I was, I decided to really do my research and use the names of “real” demons. I was using school wifi on my laptop and obviously my searches flagged something with IT, because I was summoned into the office and interrogated about why I was looking up the Lesser Key of Solomon among other things. They actually thought I was such an edgy teenager that I wanted to summon real life demons! Ha! Nowadays I spend a lot of time trying to figure out how much faster a horse walks than a person.

Who’s your favourite character from a TV show, movie, or book and why?

Bit obscure, but there’s a film called the Mists of Avalon. I really liked Morgaine in that, because even though her entire life was filled with tragedy and people trying to manipulate her, she did her best to be true to herself. I can’t watch the film without crying, but that character really stuck with me.

How many unpublished and half-finished books do you have?

Four published when I was 16-18 but they’re gathering dust under a failed pen name. A finished unpublished YA fantasy duology which I actually really liked but I wrote it when I was trying to get traditionally published and no agent would take it. One unfinished NA mf which I wrote as a books which wasn’t supposed to have an ending and eventually moved on from. One mostly finished mf alien book which was written for NaNoWriMo, got a bit weird and I became really dissatisfied with. Oh, and one really cool mf angel novel that got saved on a memory stick, left somewhere and lost and now I cannot rewrite it without being frustrated at myself losing the first copy! Wow the list actually is quite long! In my defence, the first three were written before I turned twenty and are questionable quality.

How do you select the names of your characters?

Main characters tend to come to me naturally, or I will scroll pinterest for inspiration. Secondary characters I find by trawling baby name websites. I swear the internet must think I’m having five billion babies with the amount of time I spend on them.

What comes first for you: the plot or the characters, and why?

Neither! What tends to happen is I get the first scene stuck in my head for weeks, then I worldbuild from that. The characters have basic bones when I put pen to paper, but the world is the most fleshed out. Then the plot comes as I write because I’m a pantser. I know the vague direction things are going in but not much more than that.

Would you and your main character get along?

I’m pretty sure my main characters would band together and overthrow me if they got the chance! They’d probably want payback for all the hell I put them through.

What is something about your hero/ine that only you know?

I give each of my heroines exactly one trait from me. Usually really little things that no one else would notice.

What is the one thing you wished you could tell your readers?

Every time someone recs my books, posts about them or even just comments saying they liked them, I glow for an hour, sometimes more. More than that, once I’ve read it, it motivates me to write and I actually enjoy it more just for someone saying “hey, this girl’s books were really cool”. You guys give me purpose and I love every one of my readers.
