I stare at the page as if it's the enemy, lament my career choice, and then wonder if it's too late to become a stripper.
Then, realizing that ship has sailed for me, I give myself permission to write crap because editing can save a terribly written passage but there's not much anyone can do with a blank page.
Rinse and repeat until your eyes fall out or your book is finished.

When I'm discovering my newest project, I can find inspiration anywhere. Movies, the news, television shows, a photograph. Sometimes that creative spark is found in the most unlikely places and that's what I love about what I do. I am never bored and the discovery process is ripe with opportunity.

My father died during an investigation of corruption within his department. He died before he could testify and his body was never found. His dental records disappeared and our home was raided by corrupt officers, trying to find the evidence he was going to turn over to the FBI. To this day, his killers have never been brought to justice.

Read, read, read — and then start writing. There's no substitution for doing the work. Love the process, the ups and downs, because it will always be a roller coaster, no matter how far your career ends up.

The inspiration for my latest book, THE SECRETS THEY BURIED, came from the previous series, THE AUCTION TRILOGY, as it's a spin-off with the character, NYPD Det. Kerri Pope. Readers couldn't get enough and I agreed there was more story to be told with Kerri and Nicole. I am so happy that Kerri's story turned out the way it did. I hope my readers agree.
