There seems to be an endless supply of Hemingway, Bradbury, and Blackwood I'd like to catch up on before I pass from this world.

Camelot. I'd soak in the sights. Conversely, the last place I'd want to go is Westeros. There, I'd run for my life while covering my groin.

The first real book I read was "The Hobbit" and my home was always filled with my dad's and aunt's college books on mythology and philosophy and I have been a lover of all ever since.

It was something I've always wanted do as a child: Tell cool stories. Share the movie in my head. I think it is a gift from Without. I could never be a musician, but I understand the drive those who have that drive.

Just finished the sequel to "Echoes of Avalon," my historical fantasy of an Irish Knight and Crusader who ends up on the Isle of Avalon, fighting evil while fighting his personal demons. My next work will be a departure, something more steampunkish. Think vampires in the trenches of WWI.

Don't quit. Always keep at it. If you're absolutely successful from the start, something ain't right and you're doing it wrong. It should be a growing experience that grows with you as a person.

The gratification of knowing you have created something that will possibly outlive you. It is your legacy. Plus, however big or small a writer you are, people tend to treat you with some measure of awe and reverence. That is a cool thing.

I stare at the computer screen until it comes to me. Or I go for a walk around the block and mutter to myself, garnering all kinds of concerned looks from passer-byers. If that doesn't work, I let it percolate for a couple days and do it again. I'm confident the answer will always come and I'm often surprised at the creative answer that comes, compliments of the Muse.

It was the genre I grew up reading, and so the stories building up in my mind were inspired by fantasy. Ironically, I don't read a lot of it these days. I think my next project will be more steampunk-ish, and not so "epic" in length.
