Having read Seed Money, Glyphs and now Willows: The Creole (The Delegate Book 3), I am fascinated to know how you manage to make the reader feel they are part of the story, that they are there, that it is happening to them lol? This has baffled me from the first one of your books I have read. It is a talent I have not spotted in many books lol

This type of storytelling, according to my son, the linguistics major, is called pants. The author writes the story as though it is a pair of pants for the reader to put on. I had never heard of it before, but wanted to try it and from that came Seed Money. At the time, I had no idea I was starting a series, but the writing process was so easy, I tried it again...and again...and again...and now, with book five, again.(less)

Once I map out a story line in my head, my problem is too many ideas bombarding me at the same time. I sleep very little during the writing process—which thankfully is very short—often getting up several times in the night to jot down ideas. I usually give up the fight around 4 AM and head to a computer, where I will stay until 10 PM or so. It makes for some very long days.(less)
