Where Do You Get Your Ideas?
One question authors invariably get asked is: where do you get your ideas from? It's a difficult question to answer sometimes, because at times we don't know where the ideas come from. They seem to creep uninvited into our heads and won't go away until we write them down.
But sometimes, however, we know exactly where our ideas come from. I've just sold a short story called "Now Departing", and I c Read more of this blog post »

| Before he became President of the United States, Eisenhower was President of Columbia University in New York City for a handful of years. This book traces those years. It is meticulously researched and detailed, but, honestly, the subject itself is v ...more | |

| Wolverine is on some barely-explained mission to save Professor X. It's violent and unpleasant - well, this is Wolverine we're talking about, after all - but... Actually, there is no "but": it's just violent and unpleasant. ...more | |

| An absolutely vivid book that brings to life the story of a single family struggling for survival as the War of the Roses kept England in uncertainty and turmoil in the 15th century. Changing allegiances - and kings - during those years led to much u ...more | |

| Steinbeck is becoming one of my favorite writers, for his books all seem to have a moral stance and an understanding of human behavior, and then he writes clearly and with insight. This is no exception -- a short but delightful novel. | |

| Another attempt to write an ending to Dickens' last, unfinished novel and to tie up all of the loose threads. Long and often dull, and the author keeps slipping from present to past tenses constantly. The solution is the usual one for the most part, ...more | |

| Wishbone and his human friends have to solve the mystery of a missing mascot's head, taken from inside a locked car. Could it have been a ghost? A decent younger reader mystery, based on the then-popular Wishbone TV show. ...more | |
“There's always the possibility that you're going to come across a record that transforms your life. And it happens weekly. It's like a leaf on the stream. There are little currents and eddies and sticks lying in the water that nudge you in a slightly different direction. And then you break loose and carry on down the current. There's nothing that actually stops you and lifts you out of the water and puts you on the bank but there are diversions and distractions and alarums and excursions which is what makes life interesting really. It's fantastic.”
