I don't mind answering questions. It might even be a little fun.

I got the idea for "Rachel and the Mighty Arm that Built Egypt" from a dream. The book actually ended up being almost nothing like the dream, but it's what got the ball rolling.

It doesn't take much. The world around us is amazing and the world that doesn't exist is amazing, too. Everything is inspiring!

So far I've just experienced writer's block when I'm overly tired. I've found the only thing to do then is go to bed and get enough rest to write even more the next day.

The best thing about being a writer is getting to share the stories in your head with other people. It's exciting to have someone else describe back to you something you imagined in your head then wrote down on paper. They've also imagined it in their head now, and it's just awesome when those two images match closely.

Put yourself on a writing schedule, but cut yourself a break when it comes time to edit. Give yourself plenty of time.

I'm currently working on the sequel to "Rachel and the Mighty Arm that Built Egypt."
