With FLAMES OF SECRECY, I had a lot of life experiences from childhood and throughout my career that came into my head to create a mentally tortured serial arsonist who targeted women because of an abusive mother, while at the same time, creating an investigator with his own issues.
The big twist in the book comes from a similar discovery in my own life.

I feel it was instilled within me to write and once I started it was almost impossible to stop. After my first book, BURN BOSTON BURN, was completed, the bug was in my head to keep going.

Of all things, I just completed a children's book. I went from murder and mayhem to a children's book. It is based on a true mystery when my granddaughter's stuffed missing moon went seriously missing. So, I put my
investigative skills to work culminating in an endearing story.
I am mentally formulating the sequel to FLAMES OF SECRECY. There are bits and pieces that are popping into my head. Ready to start writing.

Don't procrastinate or make excuses. Go get it done. Put your story down on paper then don't be afraid to ask others for help to finish the project. Writing for me was the easy part, but getting the books published and marketed was a serious challenge. We all need assistance to put out the best product possible.

I think spending the time to think and let a story flow from my head onto paper is the best part. Writing for me is joyous, fun, entertaining and challenging all at the same time.

I really haven't had a serious bout of writer's block. My imagination never seems to stop. Sometimes, I'm a little too analytical, perhaps from my 37 years of writing reports mostly on fire and explosion investigations as some readers indicated in my first 2 books. I hope I overcame some of this in FLAMES OF SECRECY where the ideas for the story just kept coming.
