As a trekkie fan, I think I'd enjoy living in the world of Star Trek in the 24th century. Obviously I'd be a starship captain, probably with a French name though I speak with an English accent.

Hi!. My favorite fictional couple is, of course, Sarah and Paul Manhart, my intrepid monster hunters from my Manhart Series trilogy! I am always curious how married couples handle danger together, and with these two very different people trying to figure things out, I find them almost as entertaining as the creatures they're after--or are after them. Hope you agree. Thanks. Jeff Danelek

I'm reworking my book, The Case for Ghosts, in the hopes of getting a larger publisher interested in picking it up. It was my most successful book with Llewellyn.

Only write about those things that you are passionate about, otherwise writing can become a real chore. Recognize that only you can tell your story the way it needs to be told and go for it.

Writing gives your the opportunity to transport yourself through time and space to any place in the universe and be whomever you want to be. What could be better than that?

I don't. The story is either there or it isn't. You can't force it.
When I'm lacking motivation to write, however, I've found that reworking what I wrote previously will "kick start" me to get going. Different strokes for different folks.
