But it's important to remember that fictional writing allows us to journey into our own minds away from our current realities, so I remind myself each time I write to appreciate the world I'm entering and developing that is all mine. This mind-set limits writer's block for me.(less)

“There will always be con artists, I know that,” Warren admitted. “But that doesn’t mean clairvoyance isn’t real.”
Keith Steinbaum

“He didn’t like the idea of leaving unfinished business behind. He had wanted definite answers about the heart attacks to be able to turn the page on who or what caused so many of his brothers to die.”
Keith Steinbaum, The Poe Consequence

“He tried to get drunk, “to forget about life for awhile,” as that old
Billy Joel song once said, but the scotch couldn't anesthetize his pain
and provide a retreat from the reality of his latest failures.”
Keith Steinbaum, The Poe Consequence
