I jump into the middle of a plot and set of characters and let them speak to me. It as if they are alive and guiding me in telling the story.

I'm working on two new books. One - "Don't Push Me" is set in the 1st World War, the 1960s and current time. It is based on historical events but is a fictional story of a British soldier who ends up a prisoner in Switzerland. The second one, "Transito Seville" is set in Seville and involves a Mexican college student who goes to Spain to trace his heritage and ends up falling in love with a transwoman physician. There are other ideas percolating, too.

I want to go places. So, I use my imagination for stories, characters, and places. I guess it is restlessness that inspires me!

I'm an artist and lived in Rome. So the idea of following an artist in the city inspired me. I imagined an artist and a professor falling in love as they intersect at iconic places in Rome.
