I recently wrote a short story for my Exposed Series. It will come out in Asylum Archives Vol. 2. The first novel in the series came out last year. Kaylee's Justice. I came up for paranormal siblings who use their gifts to fight crime a number of years ago (about 13 years), but my New York publisher wasn't interested in the idea. My heroine, a True Crime writers uses her empathic abilities to write her books and expose killers.
The idea for the short story titled The Dead Rise came when I heard about 7000 unmarked graves discovered on the grounds of a college that used to be a mental asylum. I couldn't resist! Ideas kidnap me and wont let me go until I pay the ransom in a story.

I have always loved story and grew up reading every book I could, especially romance with mystery and suspense. The need to write the stories in my heart became an overwhelming desire. I have to write and create. It is an insane choice to make, because life would be so much simpler without my compelling drive to create, but then I would be so much less of who I am then.
As for what inspires me on a daily basis? EVERYTHING. I read a news article, see a situation, hear a song and I see the beginning of what could be a great story or at least a fun one.

I have a problem of multi-tasking. I am working on Bewitching the Wolf Book 5 in the Shadowmen Series. I have a novella going for my Silent Warrior Series, What didn't happen in Vegas. And I am redoing my time travel that won the 2002 Golden Heart, A Rose from the Grave.

By being stubborn or doing something relaxing. If I keep writing something, even if I am sure it's not the right direction I want the story to go, I eventually come up with the right answer by eliminating what doesn't work for the story. You can't fix what's wrong if you have a blank page. Also, I find if I go and do something to take the edge off my stress like a hot shower, talk the book over with a close friend, or go see a good movie, the writer's block disappears.
