My most recent book is A Racing Heart of Fear, one of the Jaguar Addams books. The inspiration for that came from my husband's love of fast cars.

I'm working on three books that all involve, in one way or another, female goddesses dealing with the real world. Children of the Land will come out this November. The Amber will be out in April or May. The Aquarius Project will come out next fall.

Follow your obsession. Write what you must. If you don't have to write it, then try something else, because writing takes a lot of energy, so you better be fully invested.

I don't ever have writer's block, and in fact I don't believe in it. What we refer to as a block is the moment when our ego jumps up and tells us we can't do it, we're too stupid, not skilled enough, etcetera. To me, the work itself is more important than my ego, and so I just follow the story all the way to the end.
