I had neck surgery several years ago. While recovering, I found I could not sleep at night. It gave me a chance to write a book for teens that had problems reading. The Hidden Passage was written for them.

When I get emails asking when my next book is coming, or someone saying they traveled to the Apostle Islands just to find the objects in the story, it inspires you to write the next novel.
Readers can tell when a book is written from the heart verses one that is written to complete a contract. If you find a book you enjoy, let the author know.

As a photographer, it helps me with the settings. A photo trip to the area gives me a number of hints I can use later as the background information is needed.
