I was a foster child when I was very young and finally adopted by the same family several years later. My birth family, except for my mother, were killed in a tragic house fire when I was about six. I had asked my adoptive mother about my birth-mother and she told me on a few occasions that she would tell me more intimate details about my birth-mother when I was old enough. When I became an adult, I reminded her about her promise to tell me more about her. My mother flatly denied ever saying such a thing, refused to discuss it any further and broke communication with me for months afterward. I never brought up the subject to her again, which made me wonder if the circumstances of my adoption were perhaps illegal or at least suspect.

Driving down Blue Ridge Boulevard, when I passed by another car--the same make, model and year of my own. As we did so, I saw the driver--it was me...but in the back seat, I also saw a passenger, another man, rising with a rope in his hand, about to throw it around the other me's throat.

South Korea! I would visit with locals, sample their cuisine, visit martial arts establishments, and visit a Christian church there.

I plan to read all of the James Byron Huggins book I HAVEN'T read, such as THE RECKONING, (which I am adapting with Mr. Huggins for the big screen) and A WOLF STORY.

If I encounter writer's block in one thing, I move on to another thing. Writing often, every day, even when you don't want to or feel sick, can help prevent insurmountable writer's block. And always having something to work on does too.

As a Christian, I relish the fact the Creator has placed within His creation, the ability to create. When I write a novel, I build an an entire world and the characters that live in circumstances I alone create for them for my own good pleasure...and hopefully that of those who enjoy my work. There's something wildly wonderful about being able to do that.

Write at all costs. Write something every day. I hear a lot of people who say they want to write and love to write..,but they don't make time to do it. Even if it's writing down ideas for projects you want to write, that's better than nothing.

Right now, I am beginning to novelize my action-drama, DOBORO THE BOTTLENECKER, which should prove to be my greatest challenge. DOBORO THE BOTTLENECKER It's an action-drama in which a former-F.B.I. informant, after seven years of extraordinary rehabilitation overseas, anonymously returns to the states as a blind, cigar box guitar-playing street singer to protect his now-teenage daughter, whom he had believed dead, from the very crime lord whose assassination attempt took his sight.
Sort of my homage to Zatoichi - The Blind Swordsman!
Second to this will be the third in the W-3 CREW trilogy.

Well, writing is in my nature, so it doesn't take much to inspire me to write. It may take time for inspiration to manifest itself on the page, as the idea ferments in my brain for sometimes decades before finally being completed. But many things inspire me and I'm always creating loglines and scenarios in my head.

I conceived my recent inspirational thriller, MOMO, when I was a child, inspired by two films: a pseudo-documentary called SASQUATCH: THE LEGEND OF BIGFOOT and the classic sci fi thriller THE THING FROM ANOTHER WORLD. More than just wanting to create great books and films, I committed myself to one day make "a really good and really scary Bigfoot movie." As an aspiring filmmaker, I wrote the screenplay for MOMO with the intention of producing the film. Not succeeding in finding funding, my wife suggested I write the novel and get that out there, which I did. It is my hope that those who loved the novella will be interested in creating a wave of interest in the motion picture project, which stands by to bring it to the silver screen through crowdfunding.
