I write hotel mysteries and because I managed hotels for many years I have already used real life hotel mysteries in my books. A suicide in a hotel room is the basis for an as yet unpublished book ( needs a lot of work. it was the first I ever wrote) I turned it into a murder. Tentative title Death at the Allenby.

I take a break, do computer puzzles, visit family, and it comes back.

I love writing. Writing is great because it allows me to do what I love.

I am just beginning and it would be presumtuous for me to advise aspiring writers.

I would begin to write a book between hotel jobs, and then put it down. Hotel management is a 24/7 job leaving little time for writing. Now That I am retired, I am editing what is actually my first book. It takes place in Israel and is totally not political.

Hotels are worlds in microcosm. I have managed hotels for over twenty years, and that is one of the things that inspires me. I have loved reading and writing since I was a child.

My books are hotel mysteries and each one started with a real event. In the book the events happened to imaginary characters with imaginary results. Like Rebecca, I was once falsely accused of taking bribes. The whole story ended quickly with an apology, but the intense feelings gave me the hook for the book.
