Sometimes an idea just won't stop tickling my brain. It's like an itch I can't scratch unless I sit down and write. Most of the time my stories start out as daydreams. I'll envision something in my mind before deciding, "Wow, that sounds like a good idea for a story. I should write that down before I lose it." Many ideas come to me when my mind is occupied with something else, while I'm in the shower, or while I'm dreaming. I really should start writing ideas down as soon as I wake up, but I'm usually still too groggy from sleep. I'm sure I've lost many more good ideas from sleep than I've ever remembered to put down on paper.

"A Thief's Honor" was influenced heavily by the fantasy authors I read as a child and teenager, namely David Eddings and Robert Jordan. This novel was written somewhat as a tribute to these late, great writers and the wonderful stories they were able to share with the world. I'm nowhere near on their level, but this book was basically my way of tipping my hat and saying thank you for all that you have done for me. I wouldn't be the writer I am now without these pillars of the fantasy tradition that are Eddings and Jordan.

I'm currently working on the first novel in a planned young adult, urban paranormal series called Initiative 19, which involves a group of three young heroines who cross paths with a covert government agency dedicated to fighting back against supernatural threats. With time running out before their small town is overrun by things that go bump in the night, Ariana and her friends must face the ultimate evil and triumph before all is lost.
