My inspiration comes from within. Many years ago, I thought to myself, "I know that life is short. How can I leave something that will leave a mark, and possibly be discovered by someone a hundred or a thousand years in the future?"
Writing a book was my answer. Now that I've completed a third, half of another, and started a fifth, it's an addiction. I am driven to complete what I started, and I want to do it in the best possible way.

Practice, practice, practice. Don't be afraid of what others will think of your writing. Let it come from the heart. Write with the door closed, and don't open it to others until you have your first draft complete.

I love being able to create worlds and craft characters. My two main characters in Blackbeard's Lost Treasure, Darwin and Lucas, grow as the story goes on, and by the end, they have a different outlook on life.
Sometimes, as with my murder mystery A Murder in Concord, I like setting an elaborate scene with a dead body dropped in the middle of it. Lucas found himself as the only suspect and took it upon himself to clear his name. To do that, he had to figure out the puzzle for himself during the book while having to run from another character with, um, bad intentions.
For me, the challenge was figuring it out myself on the fly. That was fun.

Take a shower or go for a drive. I kid you not, most of my best ideas come from those two places.
