I'm currently writing it, so hopefully very soon!

Write until you reach the end. Then repeat. Make sure you have other experienced writing friends who'll critique your writing. It's a lonely life being a writer, but you'll be more successful with writing friends/partners.

Travel and history always get me started. Sometimes I even get ideas for stories in other genres that I don't write. It's that little "what if..." that sprouts in my mind and finally I have to sit down and write the whole thing.

This is hard for me to answer, because it's not a problem for me. Early on, I had a few abandoned stories. Since then I've discovered that if I know LOTS about my characters, the story becomes easier to write. And of course a good conflict is key. My advice would be to read something that interests you and keep writing--even through a scene you'll probably throw away. You'll make it through to the good stuff!

I've always said I could entertain myself in an empty room. It's true. I love developing characters and worlds, but the best, BEST part is when readers enjoy the stories, too.

I'm working on the second "Prometheus Order" novel, a sequel to BYRONIC. It's going to delve more deeply into the supernatural world of the sea islands and the strange things happening there.

A school research paper. Honest! I wrote about Mary Shelley (Frankenstein) and fell in love with those crazy Romantic poets. I love literature retellings, so I imagined a modern day spin on those stories.
