Just got this question today, Peg (4-11-17.) I guess Goodreads has their hands full too.

Parts 1 & 2 of the Jason Bourne Trilogy. It broke my heart when that good woman got killed.

A friend on HubPages.com published an article that included a link to the Illuminati. I had never heard of the Illuminati (a group of people elite over all others, at least think they are...if they even exist.) However, that link got my attention. I remember President H.W. Bush referring to the New World Order. Out of his mouth it sounded like a good thing, but at the time I did no further research. I had heard of conspiracy theories, but until this friend sent me that link...so I started reading, and the internet is full of it, of which came my most recent book: Book 3 of "New World Order Rising" series, subtitle: "The Next Generation Fights On."

Sorry, there is no magic answer to that one. I write nearly every day. I sit down, I write, when I reach a stopping point, I stop. And if a few days go by when I absolutely "cannot" write, I can become kind of ugly, sort of like a drinker wanting a drink or a smoker wanting a smoke. Inspiration? There is so much still inside me that I want to get out...in a quick answer, almost anything can inspire me!

To me "writer's block" means I have no idea where I'm going, and that has happened a few times. What I do is go do something else for awhile, even for the rest of the day.
And even if I don't "feel" it, I always come back, and, usually, the story takes off. Once my characters are onstage they take over and do what they want; my fingers just try to keep up.
But once I reach a stopping point, I stop. And that "stopping point" is as personal as the number of people writing.

Finally getting to partake of a lifelong dream. Orally, I do not communicate well, but that doesn't mean I have nothing to say. Writing, letters-to-the-editor, blogging about anything, memoirs, short stories, novels, all allow me to say what I think and feel.

First, you must write, every day if possible. Carry a pen and notebook with you, always. Enter your thoughts any time, anywhere...and after you begin "making it" face the music. Not everybody is going to love what you wrote. In fact, some might even hate it. We will hope positive comments will over power the negative ones.

All three books of the "Daughters" series are based on a young girl I cared about who ran away, but, thank God, she came back. But I thought "What if she hadn't?" which prompted much research on human trafficking in America. Eighteen-year-old "Emma" began the series and remains the main character. Book 3 "The Lure of Pornography" is almost ready for launch.
