Thankfully, there are no mysteries in my life, so I have to make them up for my books or take them from other sources. Thanks for asking!

That's not the genre I write in, but I'll try.
Squeezing her eyes shut, CeCe uttered a quick prayer as the demon spirit swirled around her. "Be gone," she shouted, and it was.

Right now, I'm reading A SICILIAN FAREWELL, second in The Italian Chronicles by MaryAnn Diorio. Since I do reviews for The Wordsmith Journal online magazine, I will be available to them as needed, so I rarely plan what I will be reading. I do have a huge pile of both fiction and nonfiction books of my own waiting to be read, so I could be reading a few of those, too. Sorry I can't do better with titles.

This is probably an answer you see a lot, but my favorite fictional couple are Elizabeth Bennett and Mr. Darcy of Pride and Prejudice. I never read the book before I saw the mini-series on the A&E cable station back in the late 90s. My first impression of Darcy, portrayed by Colin Firth (who has now long been a favorite actor of mine), was, "Eeew! No wonder she doesn't like him." But as the show went on and he won Elizabeth's heart, he won mine, too. Because of their interaction, they are an unforgettable couple!

I don't know if I can explain, but I always feel inspired to write. I find it everywhere: Newspapers, magazines, TV, real life stories.

A script for a futuristic drama series. That's all I can say.

This apparently was asked one year ago, and I wasn't aware of it. I apologize to whoever asked it.
Throughout my writing career, I have not yet had to deal with writer's block. That's not to say I never will. When I write, I ask the Lord to give me the words to put to paper (or should I say "keyboard?"). I'll admit there are times I don't really feel like writing, but if I push myself, once I get going, it flows.

Thank you. Yes, I wholeheartedly recommend ACFW. I have been a member for years. They didn't have many people when I first joined, but they have really grown! I may not take advantage of them all, but there are many benefits. You've probably heard all about them, and probably know other writers who are members. Let me know if you need any further details.

Sure, Dean. If you can send a pdf or Kindle copy to debwrites1@verizon.net, that would be great!
