I write. It's usually crappy, but I just write to get through the block. But before I write I will pour myself a glass of Mead or a some Kahlua.
Or sometimes I will take a nap. Or listen to music.
It depends on how bad the block is.

Aside from learning how to market and promote my first published novel, I am currently editing two books I've written already. One is Casey's Place, which takes place in a CNY speakeasy back in the 30s. The other is called Prairie Wind (Working Title) and is set in the 1800s and tells a story about a young woman who falls in love while traveling the Overland Trail.

Music is a great inspiration. Dreams and life events also kickstart my creative flow.

I got my idea for Ten Bucks and a Wish from real life experiences while covering Brookhaven Town for Suffolk Life Newspapers, and from growing up on Long Island.
