I am a big fan of "The Murder Game". May I know how do you keep yourself motivated to write more? because I myself write stories but I tend to loose motivation a lot.
Carrie Doyle
Hi and thanks for your nice words about 'The Murder Game.' I can totally relate to losing motivation. I would say the biggest thing you need to do (and I am still trying to do this!) is to view your writing as a priority, and not as a luxury. Easier said than done, I know. But my problem can be I put everything else first--laundry, kids, etc--and often leave my writing for the last thing as if it is a privilege not a necessity. But the way to be a successful writer is to create time to write and do it every day you can, even if it is just a little time. Mary Higgins Clark was widowed with six kids to support she got up at the crack of done to write before her official day started. And what a career she had! Good luck, keep writing.

Hi! I am a big fan of The Murder Game, and I noticed that you said your publisher declined the sequel. Is there any way that I could get in contact with your publisher to let them know how much I enjoyed the book? I would really love to have the sequel and I know lots of other people would too.
