Yes, I am. I've released 5 books so far, and have three in progress. Hopefully I'll be releasing 2 more this year.

I don't know, honestly. One day I just realized I wanted to write a story (Between Octobers) and I kept at it until I was finished. THen, amazingly, someone wanted to publish it. I loved the story so much, that I wanted to write more. The more I wrote, the more ideas for other stories came to me.
I just sort of happened.

Inspiration is found in many places. I like to watch people and when I see them just going about their lives, I get inspired.

I'm working on a stand-alone, prequel to Between Octobers. It's the back-story of the "bad guy."

Just write. And if you love it, if you need it like air, don't stop.
Read everyday.
And no matter if people say you suck at it, no matter how many rejections you might get, don't quit.
There is only one of you and only you can tell your story.

I get to make up people and build worlds. I get to create characters with crazy, dramatic lives--which are a contrast to my very ordinary one.

So far, for me, writers block has not a big problem. I'm filled with so many ideas for stories, books, and scripts. My trouble comes mostly in the form of inexperience. I'm just not knowledgeable enough to get all the things I feel and imagine down on paper.
