I never really have it. I might not always know what will come when I sit to write, then I reread my last writing, begin to refine it and it begins to flow. Sometimes I have ideas that have captivated me and I must set them down. Being in beautiful nature inspires me.

Being lost in contemplation. It becomes transcendent. Being enchanted by the beauty of words and ideas. Writing is a solitary pursuit. As Paramhansa Yogananda said "Solitude is the price of Enlightenment" Solitude is also its own gift.

Never give up. Oh, and edit, edit, edit. Editing can be very gratifying.

My next book titled "Hour of the Wolf" The premise is set in Native American spirituality. Specifically the Nez Perce Indians. I have been to the Nez Perce country and intend to take another trip there in the Oregon, Washington, Idaho country hopefully this coming year. This book is also a mystical story as is Desert Leopards.

My grandmother Grace Finlayson Lennan was a librarian. She graduated with a degree in library science in 1916 from Portland University. She lived to age 98. She was a wonderful wit and had a delightful mind. She selected books for me to read all my childhood and beyond. She provided me with my own library of children books. Looking at them in my tiny bedroom as I fell asleep made me happy. Grace wrote wonderful letters and we always discussed the books we were reading. She entertained in a marvelous room filled with books in her quiet peaceful home. It was a sanctuary to me. One sweet visit, I told her that she should write a book. She answered "At least one of us should." I think I knew from that day I would write a book.
