I'm going to finish Robert Jordan's Wheel of Time, as completed by Brandon Sanderson, and also read the 2nd and 3rd books of Sanderson's Mistborn series. Great fantasy novels!

I have a friend who recently discovered information that leads him to believe his deceased father may not have been his biological father. This is a true life story that has been a part of many novels, but it would still be interesting to write!

I first wrote a thriller and learned a lot writing it. I'm actually working on a re-write right now and hope to send it to my agent soon.
My favorite genre? Good question. I like to write suspense stories, with strong character development.
Happy to be friends. Thank you for asking.

I just finished a suspense novel and sent it to my agent. Very excited about it. Next book may be the sequel to And Angels Hovered that everyone is after me to write. No pressure! LOL

Write! Write every day whether you want to or not. Make writing a part of your everyday life. And learn everything you can about the elements of good writing, such as asking the penultimate question, staying in perspective, pacing, building suspense and creating reversals. Writing is a craft that betters with time and effort.

Creating characters and stories that are uniquely mine. Love the creative process and the joy of getting to know my characters' hopes and dreams.

When I'm working on a novel, I write every day whether I feel like it or not. The words come when writing is an essential part of your life.

Everything around me inspires me. People and life are so interesting. Everyone has a story to tell and I am constantly thinking about story lines.

When I was in High School, a young girl moved to our neighborhood. For some reason, she was teased unmercifully. Thankfully, she ultimately overcame the unfair treatment she received. How I imagined she might have handled it - and the effect she might have had on those around her - inspired the first Chapter of And Angels Hovered.
