My most recent book isn't published yet but the idea actually came from my editor. I had planned the first two as "the end of the story" (Bree saga) but with her urging me on, I decided the storyline wasn't complete as yet. I guess there's always another chapter when you're writing about real life.

Getting inspired to write is just something that comes from deep within. An idea starts forming in my mind and almost unconsciously I start putting words and sentences to paper. Seeing these ideas in front of me somehow make me want to tell the whole story. Many times, the happenings of life in general whisper in my ear that a story needs to be told and ideas begin to form.

I am currently working on the third and final book of a series (Bree saga) titled 'Choices'. Running behind my projected schedule but hoping to have it out in a few months.

My advice would have to be to write from your heart. Jump into the role of the main character, believe you are that character, and don't force anything that doesn't come naturally to you.

For me, the best thing about being a writer is the ability to express myself with the written word ... whether it be personal or totally fiction.

I put the work aside and find something different to distract me ... usually pick up one of my favorite author's books and read for a few days.
