This one I haven't experienced yet. All three books are written with another story in the works. This question I will have to get back with you on.

As I stated earlier, I still don't call myself an author but I do love to write and I have an imagination to go with it. I love books and where they can transport you. Being a part of taking someone on a journey has been a lot of fun.

Since I'm an aspiring writer myself, I would say just try your hand at writing. Then find 5 or more honest friends to tell you what they think. Honesty is the key and don't feel down if it's not well received. I gave my manuscript to 6 friends and gave them a red pen to write all over it. I took no offense to what they said and more importantly I listened to what they said.

An Inheritance of Hope is a trilogy and I'm currently putting the finally touches to book 2...hopefully to be released in November (If not sooner)

Several reasons: 1) I'm a huge fan of Diana Gabaldon's series of books, Outlander, and she said in an interview that she wanted to see if she could write a book. I thought that was a great challenge for myself. 2) I read another interview of an author that said everyone has a story and they should put it down on paper. I had one and decided to try my hand at writing. (I still have a long way to go before I can actually call myself an author) ;)

I travel by car everywhere and my mind would drift off into La La land about different scenarios of what ifs and where would I go and what would I bring. This particular story was formulated over a course of two years. Why did I choose a disease over war, or solar flare? Simple, because in the Bible God lets us know that he will spread diseases across the globe...hence, the birth of An Inheritance of Hope.
