The books on my summer reading list so far are:-
American Caesars by Nigel Hamilton
Hunted by AD Starrling, and
Odd Thomas by Dean Koontz
I am sure to add to that list as I go along, as my twitter followers are always recommending good reads to me.

What a fantastic question, thank you.
The mystery in my life is my father's life and family. My father died when I was two years old in a car crash. He was born in Poland, and escaped when Germany invaded and arrived in England in December 1944, after working with the French Resistance Movement. I have no idea what happened to him during this time, or what happened to the rest of his family, whether they were killed by the Germans, or according to a rumour, if they were sent to Auschwitz. I know he lived with his parents and a brother and that they had apple orchards. That is it. My wife and I have spent several years searching, but have been unable to find out anything else. So my ancestry on my father's side is a complete mystery and would make a wonderful book, I am sure, if only we had some more details.

Personally, I stop what I am doing and make myself a nice cup of Earl Grey tea and rest until I finish my tea. I then read over what I last wrote and usually the flow comes back to me, unless I am too tired and then I call it a day.

That is simple, sharing a part of yourself with others, to inspire others and to love what you do.

Write, don't stop and don't hold back until you finish, then edit. Rest when you need to rest and don't stress over word count or deadlines, they will all fall into place if you relax.

I am currently working on the second book in my series called Titan Fleet: The Robur, which continues on from Titan Fleet: The Invictus.

I was inspired by my mother who sadly passed away leaving her love for the world with me. I always promised her that I would finish something one day and share with the world my stories, and hope to connect with others though my words and thoughts and feelings. I always keep my promise and published my first book a year after her passing with great honour.

I always wanted to write science fiction growing up, as this always took me and my imagination to far away places and I could escape. I think the idea was more of a feeling inside yearning to be shared with the world.
