I am completing the art work for my next novel entitled Turning Stones. Should be release in early 2015.
This story deals with some intriguing issues such as "can our love carry us beyond what we know to be true?" Do our beliefs get in the way of relationships? And what is a person willing to do to win back love?
This is played out against the backdrop of the ancient stones of Stonehenge.
I think readers will enjoy witnessing how a person's strongly held ideas can impact his relationships and what he understands about the world around him. Interesting stuff!

For me the best part is the joy of the creative process. Just as a painter uses color and brush strokes to create an image or emotion, or a musican holds and bends a note in search of a particular sound, I use words to capture what my imagination brings my way. Sometimes it feels like gathering vapor, and other times the characters just take over and run with it. There's a little magic involved, and how can that ever be anything but awesome!

The original idea actually came to me walking to the mailbox. What if you received a letter in the mail from the government: "Greetings. Today is the middle of your life." An interesting idea. I could picture two societies, those who had already gotten the letter and knew their mortality, and those who had not gotten it yet, and felt immortal. But for an idea to become a story characters and plot must come along to rescue it. And none did for that idea. But it eventually morphed into another idea: if that were true, someone must have discovered a way of determining how long a person might live. Now that idea had wings! And so Lifespan came into being.
