Hi, Jane. Boy, I don't know. I'm only set up for Kindle at this point. Now that you asked, let me check into it. I know we still have a certain portion of modern readers who still prefer print. I've gotten to where I prefer novels as ebooks. Now research materials, not so much. But I'll look into it. Thanks so much for your interest. And if you have any further questions, I'm only a click away.

Don't know. Never had it. My problem is that I have too much, and getting it organized into a coherent mass is my problem. Often I work from just a visual scene, no words in my head. I think that working one's body might be useful in suffering through a block, running, walking, yoga. You have to remember, you can't just work in your head; your body has wisdom also, and you should work them out together. That's strictly a pragmatic approach to writing, but you'll feel better and be healthier also.

The wonder of it all, seeing your ideas hit the page, and being awed by what the characters do in a situation. That's what I like the most. Characters truly seem to have a mind of their own.

There is no such thing as an aspiring writer. You either write or you don't. Sounds like Yoda here. So write everyday if possible, to keep the wheels moving. A short paragraph even. Poetry is good too. Poetry makes a writer condense his or her writing. People don't realize how very difficult writing is. So just blast away, brainstorm (yes that's writing too).

I'm working on a book about a high school philosophy teacher who has a run in with a wild, brilliant kid in his class. Not sure what the name is at this point, and I don't have cover in mind yet. I'm doing the final edit now.

Everything inspires me. Music, reading, conversations with people, work circumstances. Everything. Some ideas aren't as good as others, but generally hardly a day goes by that I don't make a mental note about something that I find interesting.

I was reading Bettany Hughes' The Hemlock Cup (about Socrates' life and the city of Athens) and I came across a passage referring to his three sons. It struck me that no one (to my knowledge) seemed to be interested in what happened to his boys after Socrates' execution.
