This is a great question, thank you. The idea for my book came from my book. Sounds crazy right? The truth is, I was intending to write a murder revenge story ala "The Punisher", then crazy things began to happen, characters were just showing up on pages, storylines went in completely different directions and my book ended up being a Sci-fi thriller. I can honestly tell you that I could sit down and have a direction that I wanted to go in and after many hours of writing it ended up being completely different. My book had a mind of its own, so I credit it, with the ideas.

Thank you for your question. My original inspiration came from the many books I've read and the belief that I could also create a great story. My daily inspirations comes from the story I'm writing, I get very excited to find out where the it's going to take me. It's like reading a great novel that's hard to put down, you need to find out what happens next.

Thank you for your question. I am currently working on part two of The Prophets and The Executioner, the book is complete and I'm on my second re-write.

I would say, just do it. I have no formal training as a writer and yet my book is published and part two is almost complete. So, let your imagination guide you, and enjoy the ride. There's no better time than right now to write your first paragraph. Write me back when its done, l would love to read it.

Hi there, thank you for your question. I think the easy answer is the escapism, you get to create a story and immerse yourself in to it. The really cool thing for me, is experiencing where the story takes me, I have rarely sat down to write and actually wrote what I intended to write. For me, my story took over and ended up being something completely different than the original plot.

Hi, Thank you for your question. When I have trouble creatively I dig out a great book and absorb the adventure. One of my favorites is Wilbur Smith, his novels are so captivating that they inspire me. It works for me.
