Patrice, I am two chapters into my second novel. In my head I'm somewhere around chapter 24. I hope to have it completed by the end of 2016.

I think the best thing about being a writer is that you get take people places that they normally would not be able to go. You control all the action and the consequences. You are the puppet master in a puppet show you have created. Anything that happens is limited only by your imagination.

My advice for aspiring writers is to tell the truth. Don't be somebody you're not. I can understand emulating a certain writing style, but when it comes down to it your voice should shine through. I've said on many occasions that words are the one things that are truly your own.

The title of my next book was inspired by a line in a movie I saw back in the late eighties early nineties. Sometimes all it takes for me to get started on something is to have a title or a last line to write towards.

I think life is an inspiration to write. I pay attention to everything. My Wife is a very inspiring person for me.

I'm working on my second novel. Since my first novel, Another Man's Treasure is being so warmly received I feel like I'm all set for a sophomore jinx. Being a one hit wonder is one thing. Writing a solid followup novel is another. I'm going to have to hit this next one out of the park in order to not rest on my laurels. I'm feeling pretty good about my chances.

I believe writer's block is a cop out. If you can't write what you want at any given time, simply write about something else in order to get the creative juices flowing.
