Inspiration for me depends on what I am doing. The Shadow War books came as a result of the 911 attack, and what I imagined as a way to counteract the terror threats to come. In the second Shadow War book, Deadly contact, the leader of the terrorists was taken down in much the same way as Bin laden, and published just a few months before Bin Laden was taken. Fiction becoming fact.
The inspiration for the Beckoning West books was my own love for the west and wild places and my own family connections to some of that history. I love history and historical fiction was a treat to write as well as research.
Everything else is just whatever pops into my mind, and after a little sorting and polishing sometimes becomes a story idea. Thank you for your question.

I always have had others short stories and book ideas I can switch too when I get blocked. The key for me is not to let my mind go blank, keep busy.

The hours, lol. Having a working class background I still tend to set hours to work, however it is nice to do more or less as much or as little as you feel like. I would be remised if I also didn't note that reading a favorable review really makes it all worthwhile.

Ignore mean spirited reviews, everyone has gotten them. But also learn from those with constructive comments.

Currently I am finishing the first draft of the third volume of the Beckoning West series.

Being a third volume it was a natural progressive order covering the years of the Civil War and the Indian war of 1876
