Inspiration can come from anywhere at anytime, but perhaps the most consistent place is from reading the Bible and a vast array of fantasy novels.

A box of Cheez-its, a gallon of Turkey Hill green tea, and the soundtracks from Fable, Dragon Age, Nier, and Kingdoms of Amalur.

The freedom of imagination. With it I can be anyone, go anywhere, and do anything, like travel through time and space in my trusty Jeep Cherokee.

Outline, outline, OUTLINE!! This made all the difference for me. Everyone has a story to tell, and unlike brain surgery you don't need a degree and a ton of training to tell it. That being said, I strongly believe that organization is the key. Outline any way that works for you, but do it! Once you have the framework of the story established, the creative writing takes care of itself. Otherwise, you'll just be that person with a great idea who wants to write a book someday...

Volume 2 of The Brotherhood of the Blade is already underway! I learned a lot from writing the first volume, so my outline is crisper now, and work is going well!

This book was inspired by my journey of faith over the years - the relationships I've forged and the challenges I've either overcome personally or witnessed in the lives of those close to me.
