Easy! Tibet is where I would go. I'd take notes to start a mystery about a famous explorer who encounters a Yeti snooping around his tent at night. I would eat Tibetan food and practise yoga on Mount Everest !

The sound of something heavy being dragged across the attic sent the children hiding under the covers of their beds as visions of the ghost dragging his own coffin invaded their minds along with the story of the soldier who starved to death in the very same attic during the Civil War, Finally the oldest boy climbed the attic stairs but all he saw when he played the beam of his flashlight across the dusty attic floor was a uniform button and a moth-eaten cap.

How I escaped death so many times in my life could be a subject for a new novel but nobody who read it would ever believe it. If I were a cat, I'd have run out of lives a long time ago. Some of those miraculous escapes are subject of short stories in my new book Of Unknown Origin, but I dare you to tell which ones are me and which ones are somebody else's story.

I have always written. I wrote my first mystery in second grade, a Halloween story called The Emerald Eye. .The teacher read it aloud and I tasted fame for all of five minutes. I was hooked!

I just keep writing until I recognize something that makes sense! Action is the best response to writer's block. You can pick up the threads that lead you to a story.
