IF U consider Washington, D.C. a "fictional book world", I've been there. Most of it IS fictional to normal people! :)))

I am writing another book so probably won't be reading any for a while!

There are times I absolutely must (in my mind) write and times I can't. When I feel that I have to, I write as much as possible and when I can't I just don't. When I am ready to start writing again, I re-read the last chapter that I wrote and formulate what has to come next. I write as long as I can and stop for as long as I need to. I never push myself if I don't feel it's the right time.

The very best thing about fiction writing is that your characters can be anything YOU want them to be and do whatever you want them to do. They can be human, subhuman or even superhuman; YOU get to choose!

The absolute most important advice I can offer aspiring writers is simply: know the ending of your book (fiction of course) before you start writing. If you don't know the ending how could you write toward that ending and leave clue for the reader?

I am currently writing the second book in this series. I am probably halfway finished but really want to make the second book longer than the first. Some of the same characters but a different set of circumstances but still revolving around a conspiracy to take out the President.

My inspiration comes from "above" and quiet meditation and hard thinking allows me to formulate each chapter. That may sound corny, but it works for me.

I had the idea years ago but just didn't get around to putting pen to paper until about one year ago. I can't honestly say where the original idea was born, but somehow it all evolved.
