Jenny and Jason. Since I created them in my book "Betrayed" I became attached to them. I started to have an ending where they were not together but I liked them so much that I had to have a happy ending.

Thankfully I have never had it. I have the opposite. I keep getting ideas to write about and I have been doing it for 30 years. I have written 38 titles (as some are collections). I am now working on three books at the same time.

If you love to write never give up. I have been writing for 30 years. It took 20 years just to get a nationally published article. It took ten years to become an outdoor columnist. I also had to publish my own books. My reward is that people like my work. Do not write because you want to make money, most writers do not make much. Write because of what is in your heart. Write about what is important to you.

To be able to put down you feelings on paper and then to share them. It is difficult sometimes as your heart is in your writing. Therefore, if someone criticizes your work they are criticizing your innermost self. Being a writer to me was a dream and I followed it. I built a cabin in the woods (off the grid) and now I love to sit alone and put down my thoughts in a book or in an article.

It is different each time. Sometimes it is something someone says. Other times I might see something. Most of the time, it is just from my past experiences. I have studied nature and the Bible all my life and I write about these things the most. I first became an outdoor columnist and wrote about my love of the outdoors.

I just finished an e-book called "Thou Shall Not Kill: What does God think about the killing of animals." I timed it perfectly because as I was finishing the the book, the story about the killing of the African lion named Cecil made world news. I even mention him in the book.

Someone on my Facebook page had a derogatory comment about "the rapture" therefore, I wrote a book called "A Rude Awakening."
