Actually, I dream the stories a lot of the time. Other times an idea pops into my head from something I am reading or something I see or experience.

I am currently editing a book about a boy who is swept far away from home and has to find his way back. I am writing a book about what the world would be like if we suddenly lost all electricity forever. I am also loulining my next book in the Zodiac series.

My advice - write, write, write. And don't get despondent or put off by others, especially people who have never attempted writing anything.

The best thing is entering a world you have created with characters you know intimately, because you created them. It's also good that you can write when you want, wherever you want.

I don't really get writer's block. I have days I don't want to write and times when it's a struggle getting the next word written. When that happens, I either go do something completely different for a while, put the project aside and open a different project or soldier on writing whatever comes into my head. With the last one, after a while the way ahead seems to show itself eventually.

Where do I start? I am currently reading Recursion by Blake Crouch, The Supernova Era by Cixin Liu and Hand of God by Jason Krumbine. I want to read Red Moon by Kim Stanley Robinson and The Great Sea by David Abulafia before summer is over in Australia.

I conceived the idea for my most recent book, Ceti, when I first developed the outline for the 'Reach for the Stars' trilogy back in 2015.
