Reading other writer's works gives me the writing urge. I often select works from a variety of genre's, including poetry, short stories, and non-fiction. Being a good listener works wonders for eliminating writer's block. A single comment can generate a thousand ideas, one falling into place after the other.

Noah Calhoun and Allie Hamilton from The Notebook. Their love is beautiful. Their love endures the hardships and happiness of a long life together. Honesty and loyalty are strong elements of their relationship, which should be part of every couple's relationship.

The Truth About Mallory Bain evolved from several ideas. First of all, I love the setting — the historic and scenic Kenwood neighborhood of Minneapolis, featuring gorgeous Lake of the Isles — has been one my favorite places to visit for walks or to relax for many years. Second, I wanted to tell a story about a woman who could be any one of us.
