Lots of horse racing books! I'm currently reading Horse Racing Memories by Drew Slater, and a biography of the horse Dr. Fager by Steve Haskin. Inspiration for my next book?

Sadly, this inspiration comes and goes. It's like running. Sometimes it seems like a chore, but once you start doing it, it's not that bad. Some days I have to force myself to write, even if I think I have no ideas whatsoever. Something needs to emerge daily.

Besides marketing my book, I'm going back to my much-neglected blog, Hooks and Harmony, and trying to pump some new life into that. That means listening to more music and getting new ideas for posts.

I don't really have a problem with writer's block; I was a journalist and learned to plow through the mental barriers that come with writer's block. When I occasionally can't come up with the next scene or action, I just plow through it. Editing can sometimes be easier than writing.

I’ve always been fascinated with the “What if” aspect of the Beatles. They broke up in the prime of their careers, with so much more music left in them. This book is my attempt to guess what would have happened if they continued making music together.
