I would like to be a part of the Star Wars fictional world. The appeal of traveling around a galaxy, seeing different planets and civilizations, and flying among the stars is very appealing to me. I would find a quiet little planet with two moons and watch them rise every night. I would have robots do the lawn work and housework while I write and visit with my friends.

I love reading indie authors, especially ones that I meet at book signings or other events. I'm starting the summer with Pepperman's Promise by Bill Briscoe, the moving on to another great book by Jolene Navarro. I'm thinking I'd like to reread the last Harry Potter book, The Deathly Hallows, just for the fun of it. The Harry Potter series are my most favorite fiction books of all times.

What a great question! Everybody has what-if situations in their lives. We wonder what might have happened if we'd made different choices.
My greatest mystery would be what if that handsome young man from my youth hadn't been killed by a drunk driver. What if he had lived? What if we'd had fallen in love?
That gives me a great idea for a romance novel! Thanks for the question!

I love being creative and this is a wonderful outlet for my sometimes-overworked imagination. It also provides a therapy for me when I'm feeling emotional about something. I also love meeting other authors and hearing their stories. They inspire me.

Daydreams. And the desire to capture the stories on paper before I forget them. At my age, they soon disappear if I don't write them down. Or at least I don't think I remember them. Maybe I'm reremembering all these stories from before but have just forgotten it. Hummmm. Some of the pleasures of getting older. Everything is new again. ;-)

I am working on a mystery novel dealing with three elderly people who try to solve a case by themselves and get into deep trouble. Plus they inadvertently involve three boys from a troubled home in their troubles. The story is about how they get themselves and the three boys out of harm's way.

Never stop learning how to do your craft. Take classes. Go to seminars and workshops. Listen to other authors. Always strive to get better.

My children's book idea came from a dream I had about being with my granny friends. We somehow were entered in a beauty contest and we won! The young girls were so incensed that five old ladies beat them. The judges said we won because we knew how to do things and the young girls didn't. Based on that dream, I wrote the book, The Five Grannies Go to the Ball, which should be out in October 2015.

This may sound crazy, but I take a shower. I've had my best ideas in the shower. Maybe it's the water. Maybe it's just being alone with my thoughts. Showers stimulate my creative thoughts and I've gotten past many a roadblock that way.
