Fictional worlds can teach us so much about the one we live in. The experiences you bring back from the escape are what give stories their value. That's why you read, and that's why I read – and write.

My author career began with a twisted fairytale retelling about the unknown 8th dwarf which turned into a trilogy of such tales. Over the years I've received book awards and industry recognition for which I'm very grateful. I'm currently working on a business plan for an educational company that uses the fairytale trilogy, TaleSpins, as curriculum to teach things like empathy and anti-bullying.

That said, I am inspired by certain parts of the process: the discoveries and the creation of characters. I'm also inspired by the idea of a legacy, contributing something to society that outlives me. On the practical side, nothing inspires like a deadline that's not made up by me. For example, I want to have my new novel out by the LA Times Festival of Books in mid April. That's very inspiring. (less)
