I've never had writers block. Sometime I write crap though. But seriously, one can only write so much a day, and then one must walk away and not come back till the next day, giving time for 'the well to recharge'. It's best to mostly write the same place and same time every day, so the mind gets to expect it. Having said that, when I'm having trouble getting things done, and that happens once or twice a year, I take my laptop and go work in a quiet place at the library. Sometimes a change of scenery helps.

It just happens. If I don't write, I get very fidgety. I think it's a disease.

I am writing another time-travel adventure. But, whereas THE VERONA TRILOGY takes place in 14th century Italy, the new book, tentatively called, BETWEEN TWO RIVERS, takes place in ancient Mesopotamia, circa 2450 BCE, and the 24th century, CE. A young man from the 24th century goes back in time and falls in love with a young woman whose father is from the past, but whose mother is from the future. As well, as opposed to being a story of true lost love, with an adventure of trying to rescue it, we follow our male protagonist as he tries to woo a headstrong girl destined to become one of the most famous women in history.

Besides enjoying books and stories about history, stories about the future, and also anything to do with sword fight adventures, I am also passionate about environmental and green studies. All this naturally shows itself in my books.
