I don't "get" inspired. Stories well up in me like water percolating from a subterranean stream. I am most passionate about injustice, exposing hypocrisy, and I love to laugh.

A few years back in a sleepy California beach town a 14 year old boy carried a pistol to his middle-school computer lab then shot a 15 year old boy in the back of the head. Both boys were severely abused and neglected by their parents. Both boys were victims of a tragedy brought about by self-interested teachers and school administrators who received no punishment for their failure to act in both boys' interests. The press and social media made one boy a martyr and the other a demon when both youngsters were just boys. My next novel, a true crime story, will serve to correct the record and hold those responsible for this tragedy accountable.

People. I find that when I am interviewing subjects for a project, shining a light on their lives (except when they have something to hide) that most love the attention. I think we all love the attention. We enjoy having someone take an interest in us, someone who asks what we do, how we think, then takes the time to listen and understand. That's "love." Love is the single most important quality a writer must have for his characters.

I don't really believe in "writer's block." When working on a novel or screenplay I show up everyday about the same time. Some days the words stream from my fingertips to my keyboard and onto the glowing screen before me. Other days I feel drugged, some might say comatose, my head feels filled with sludge. I write no matter what. Even on bad days when the words trickle out like a slow drip from a leak in the roof I am shocked that at the end of the day I have advanced my "cause!"
