I just like to create adventures. They entertain me, so I write them down.

Sirens & Skullduggery was a a lark. I began creating this Victorianesque world, writing of dim backstreets and airpirates, and the stories just kept coming so I collected them into a book.

History, philosophy, old stories. Oh, and hardware. Putting my hands onto antiques always inspires me to add them to stories or write about the people who used them.

"Star Ascending", the third book in my 'Warhawk' SciFi trilogy.

Finish the story. Good / bad / indifferent . . . it doesn't matter. Finish the story. You, or a critique group, or an editor can fix problems later but first YOU have to finish it. Half-finished books and stories don't go anywhere.

Drive-on! Just write. If it comes out as garbage, I can fix it later. If I'm too stuck on a problem, I just skip it. I leave a marker to fill it in and move on to where I know what's going to happen. Once you've got the two sides to a scene, you will know what happens between them.
