I'm outlining the third book in my upcoming Urban Fantasy debut from Falstaff Books, The Blessed & Possessed while I work on the second novellete of an elven ranger series I hope to have out sometime in the late spring. I also have a secret project in the works as of February 2022, but I will keep mum on that for now. Hopefully May!

Develop a process that gets you to sit down/slow down enough to put words to the page then build from there. A process is an ongoing experiment in helping you learn to do more than just generate words--it applies to your storytelling, editing, presentation, and everything else. Integrate your process into your everyday life.

I honestly love writing Fantasy. If I had a choice of other things to do I would want to be doing this. It's not only my yearning to actually sit down and get the work done, but the process itself is a real reward I can have every day.

Honestly, I have a process and if I adhere to that process I never suffer a block. I might slow down the pace at which I write if there are difficulties or life is in the way, but I've come up with a way to keep going even when the words aren't flowing.

Great question--probably Earthsea. Middle-earth is an easy answer, but to sail the Archipelago on the Lookfar, walk on Havnor, and visit Roke? I could not pass that up.

I have seen the depths of the Absolute. Let's start there.
