Where did you get the idea for your most recent book?
Tracy Fobes I recently saw a documentary on motorcycles--specifically cafe racers. Got me interested in motorcycling (yes I do have a motorcycle license) and I decided I wanted to write a series of stories that included my latest interest: cafe racers. As a New Jersey native who spent several summers down the shore, I set the series in a fictitious shore town; and I incorporated details about Hurricane Sandy, which as we know devastated large parts of the NJ shoreline.

How do you get inspired to write?
Tracy Fobes Most of my ideas come to me when I’m traveling in a new place and checking the area out. For example, the idea for Clyde Edward’s The Stowaway came to me as I was sitting in a cave in Jamaica, and I heard the sea rolling in and out beneath the cave like a great, breathing behemoth. I wrote Seduced in Paris while sitting on a balcony attached to an apartment in Paris that I’d rented for the week.

What’s your advice for aspiring writers?
Tracy Fobes The best advice for any author is to write, write, write. Get into the habit of writing every day, no matter how hard it is. As you write, you’re practicing your craft. The more you practice, the better you get. As Malcolm Gladwell mentions in his book Outliers, you have to practice any skill at least 10,000 hours before you can master it.
