One of my favorite books is "What Dreams May Come" by Richard Matheson. It's about a guy named Chris who dies and goes to heaven. In this heaven his thoughts create his reality. I think it would be a pretty cool place to go, provided I could come back.

Right now I'm reading Christopher Moore's "Bloodsucking Fiends." It's really well written, very funny. I highly recommend it. As for this summer, I have no idea what I'll be reading. That's too far in the future! I'm open to recommendations.

I'd been actively dating and watching a lot of apocalyptic TV. I wondered how anyone would date during an apocalypse and thus my new series was born, Dating in the Apocalypse.

Usually something just pops into my head that excites me and I put it down. Sometimes music helps get the juices flowing. More times than not I write whether I'm inspired or not and the inspiration comes in-process.

I'm currently working on an Apocalyptic Rom-Com called Dating in the Apocalypse. It's about a guy who is looking for the love of his life during an apocalypse.

The freedom. It's also the worse thing.

I don't try to force anything. If the words don't come then I go do something else. Sometimes the creative well runs dry and I need to replenish it. Other times it takes relaxation, focus, and digging deep. The worst thing a writer can do is worry about it. I play hard-to-get and devil-may-care with my writer's block.

My great great great grandfather, McClellan Moore, was evidently a war hero. As the story goes, while a colonel in the Union Army during the Civil War, he rescued both Confederate and Union soldiers who had been wounded in battle and brought them to a local church to be cared for. This act of bravery and compassion had allegedly got him a signed letter from President Abraham Lincoln. The letter was passed down to a relative who ended up selling it when he'd hit some financial problems. Today that letter would be worth a fortune, but despite our best efforts we haven't been able to find it in any archives or collections. I think a family in search of proof of their long lost relatives heroic past would be a good plot for a book.
