My favorite fictional couple is Emma and Mr. Knightley from Jane Austen's "Emma." I love the characters and the suspense of their romance. I adore Emma's self-confidence even though she comes off as child-like at times. Mr. Knightley is the real lure for me. He has that confident, almost arrogant air about him that I love. He is always trying to improve Emma's behavior and can be painfully blunt. The sheer honesty and friendship of these two make me want them to become a couple long before the last pages of the book. At the same time, it feels like they were.

Every book I have written has been inspired by a song.

Music. If I can envision an entire story with one song (basically a beginning, middle & end), then my next book is born.

Total Respect, Debt Payment, Gem of Light, & Claiming Buccieri. I have two other stories in note process. I blame it on my active imagination.

Read a lot! Find your style. Take it slow. Write an outline (even if you don't follow it). Study English. Make sure you have a passion for writing and write for you. Don't write to gain readers.

Endless entertainment!
It doesn't exist? It isn't real? Haven't experienced it? Never been there?
No problem!
Writing a book is a new adventure with every chapter.

I don't have writer's block. I have what I call "an active mind." In this case, I stay away from the internet, clear my mind with music, and then...I can write. It's about shutting out my ambient thoughts.
