The best thing for writer's block is to do some reading. A little while ago I hit a tough spot where I didn't write for several weeks. Instead I read a few novels. Many times I find that drawing from the fresh water of another writer's perspective is enough to restore my creative spirit.

"Mythos" was inspired in large part by some reading I did a few years ago on the Russian Revolution of 1917. I lifted some of the themes and personalities from this historical time period and transferred them into a futuristic vision. I believe that no matter what time period we live in, we will continue to be defined no so much by our surroundings as by our basic human impulses.

Currently I am writing the sequel to "Mythos". This book follows the stories of Frederick, Katrina, Danyik, Ivy, Nubius and Sergius as they play their roles within the larger context of an intergalactic war.
