Type something, if I start I often will have to deleted it later, but this gets me started and then I write something of value.

The best thing is to be creative. I love to find a way to tell the story, fiction or non-fiction, it is the story.

Write. You will here it from all the experts, but it is correct. Challenge yourself to write about a wide range of things, and do it often. I learned to write by "forcing" myself to write a newsletter every week for ten years. This was great training in writing and great discipline; it was always the day before the newsletter was due to be published!

I think about a current character or situation in one of my books and get excited to see what will happen.

I start with a character. In this case a Grandfather. I began to ask questions about him and what he could do in dealing with a crime. One day I thought of a Grandfather telling stories of his past. That is when the idea came of a crime from when this Grandfather was a young man. This case became a cold case and the Grandfather could help the police because he knew the people involved. My book “They’re All Dead” came out this simple idea.
