Where did you get the idea for your most recent book?

Clancy Nacht I have so many recent books. If we're talking "Gemini," I was inspired by both political scandals and the much better than it was ever given credit for TV show "Ringer" which starred Sarah Michelle Gellar. That was why there are twins, the rest of it is not anything to do with that.

I'm still bitter about that show ending. It was so good.

How do you get inspired to write?

Clancy Nacht Dreams. Standing in lines for too long and my mind wanders. Seeing a good story idea that doesn't go the way I want it to. Sometimes characters just pop into my head and I have to exorcise them.

The point is to be available to your ideas. Let them flow. Like the spice which must also flow.

What are you currently working on?

Clancy Nacht Tentatively titled "Pride & Justice" which is really cracky and goofy with wizards and zombies and some good old fashioned unresolved sexual tension. It's been a long time since I've written magic, so I was having some fun with it.

What’s your advice for aspiring writers?

Clancy Nacht Write. The more you write, the better you get at it. And write when you're not in the mood. Write when you are in the mood. Write when your significant other is in the mood.

I wrote in fandom and got a lot of rookie mistakes hammered out there. It can be hard to get feedback out in the cold cruel world, fandoms often provide it for free. It's not professional, but it gives you an idea of what people like or don't. Plus you meet some goofballs just as intensely interested in something as you are. Good times.
