One without racism or religion, the two scourges of this world...

When I joined Goodreads I built my list starting with the Top 100 books in English from the New American library, then added the Pulitzer prize winners for the past 50 years, and then recommendations from friends, and a few authors that I've enjoyed. You can see all this in my personal "Want to read" section of my profile.

As you hunt down an annoying fly with your trusty fly-swatter, now imagine you are the fly.

Tracking down my biological father!

Hard drugs... Just kidding. To be honest, this is my best trick. I take a nap on it, but I don't try to completely fall asleep. I just think about where I am in the story while I'm in that half asleep/half awake stage, and nine times out of ten I manage to visual where the story needs to go next, and/or how to get there. Try it! Maybe it will work for you!

Telling stories and entertaining people. Art is life. We all love to be entertained, and some of us like to be the one to tell the stories. That's always been me. I wrote and bound a story for my mother when I was only six years old. I've been writing, or performing ever since.

Write the first draft without questioning it. Just get your whole story down on paper. After that you can go back and decide what needs fixing. But, give yourself a lot of leeway to make mistakes as long as you finish that first draft of your whole story.
I would suggest you have a good outline, and a set idea of your beginning, middle and ending, then just set to writing out that first draft. Remember, you can change or fix ANYTHING in your story on the next draft, but having a whole novel or script in your hands, even if it's not polished and ready for the general public, is SO satisfying!

I'm working on a new novel that's spans two generations to find all the answers, killers and even the victims. It's still mostly a crime thriller, but there's a little of an unrequited love story in this one.

I have SO many ideas I want to write that I feel sorry for people who can't think of an idea that moves them to write. My process is a mishmash of ideas in my head until one takes precedence and I can't stop thinking about it, and that's the one I write next.

This book goes back to 2006/7 when I first had the idea for it. Sadly, I've known several women who have been abused physically in relationships, and normally when some abuser gets his ass kicked it's usually overlooked by law enforcement, (usually) but I wondered what they might do if someone just started to kill them off. How hard would they really try to find someone who's killing people who some might say deserved it. That was the genesis for this story.
