Hi Susan, reviews are always welcome and very much appreciated. Writing Out Of Nowhere was an amazing experience, one that I had a hard time letting go of. Although fiction, I became completely one with all three of the prominent characters in the book, often finding it hard to shake their moods when I would put the pen down to live my own life. I hope you enjoy reading the book as much as I enjoyed writing it :)

I have to give credit to my husband for the overall inspiration for Out Of Nowhere. I realize that may seem odd to those of you who have read the book! We were having one of our usual, long chats about life and love and he made a random and generic comment (I won't give away what it was as to not spoil the book) but a lightbulb went off and I fell down the rabbit hole that is Hailey, Jamie and Will.

I'm a dreamer, so inspiration seems to always be there for me. Don't get me wrong, I get writers block with the best of them, but when I'm not focused on a task that takes all of my concentration, I have my head in the clouds and stories just seem to exist for me.
If I really want to buckle down and get some good writing done, I will plan a day where I know I will have the house to myself, make sure I have NOTHING on my to do list, grab a warm cup of coffee, open the window next to my desk and put on some music, quietly, that speaks to the moments I'm writing.
