This thriller series features the same character, Derry Greene, who's an investigator for a top U.S. tour operator. I draw upon my experiences as
a travel writer, which I've been for many years, and utilize facets of terrorism in each novel. All the destinations used are generally places I've been too, which includes The Philippines, the main place in the most recent book in this series, "The Impresario of Terror."

Consider what sort of material interests you. Fiction or nonfiction?
What genre? Science fiction, thriller, horror, etc? Pick an idea that
interests you, prepare a tentative outline, and starting writing. Get
something on paper/screen which can lead to more development
of the idea.

I've never been disinclined to write for very long, but in the few
instances where it might be term that, I just force myself to write
something else than what I was working on. At least I'm still
writing.
