Evils Sanctum was a group effort, I work in an old school house, my wife loved the twilight series and I love horror. I missed the shock and awe of the old spook stories and set down to write a little teaser...400 pages later Evil Sanctum was born. Dragon's Tear is a series I have been writing on for over a decade, it is a favorite past time of mine. I love R.P.G.'s and even have several toons on W.O.W. Namsilat happens to be one of my toons. Like many writer's I am finding out, idea's come into my head and won't leave until I at least say hi and make a note somewhere to visit with them later. Thank you for the interest. Hope I answered your question. Happy reading.

I usually have several stories on the desk at any one time, if I get stuck I switch it up a little until the main story breaks through. Coffee also helps, in case I am up late waiting for it to pass.

Don't give up,write, read, re-write and read again before submitting. Publisher's are busy people and if you're considerate of them, they tend to return the thought. Doesn't mean they will publish, but at least they will read your offering. And you might want to read a little thing Rachelle Gardner put out back in December 2013 on her website about what to expect if they do publish your work.

I Love to write, I love doing research on my books and seeing my work in print is very inspiring. So when I need a good dose of inspiration I look on Goodreads or any of the sites containing my works and it seems to be working. I have heard, 'if it works, don't fix it'. And quite often when doing research I find myself thinking...that would make a good story.

I like to play RPG's, role playing games, I had a campaign based in the northwest I invented and like the characters from the game so much I felt they needed to live on after the game. I started writing and Dragon's Tear is the result.
