No I don't ever remember not showering because of writing. :-) I have no problem working on writerly ideas when I'm doing other things though like walking or, I suppose, showering. In fact I worked out many of the plot lines in "A Walk in the Thai Sun" while delivering mail. I wouldn't write if I didn't enjoy it. About 97% of published writers don't much enough money, so it's not a economic survival strategy. You have to love it!(less)

What mystery in your own life could be a plot for a book?

Planet Song

I've just published a new novel, "Planet Song". This is science fiction and, as such, is a complete change of direction for me. For this reason I've published it under the pseudonym T. K. Boomer.

"Planet Song" is book one in the Fahr Trilogy, a first contact story with a bit of a twist. "Planet Song" is written almost entirely from the alien point of view. The Fahr are the galaxy's oldest and long Read more of this blog post »
