When I'm not reading, I'm writing. When I don't have access to a book or a computer, or a pen and paper I write the book in my mind. There isn't a person or place that I haven't imagined a magical story about.

My first fiction novel, Biting Winds, was inspired by a mysterious man I saw sitting in a campsite. He didn't belong. I never spoke to him, or even made eye contact. But I wrote his story.

From Biting Winds, I created a character that intrigued me, and several of my readers. I needed to know her story, so I wrote my second book, Storms of Innocence.

Storms of Innocence introduced a new, sinister character, and I'm dying to write his story next.
