I'm going to take a quote from one of my favorite movies, "Finding Forrester". Sean Connery told young Jamal, as he sat in front of the typewriter, "Don't think, just type. You can think after the first draft has been written." I love that idea. It rang true for me...keep on writing!

I am currently working on the fourth book in my paranormal mystery series. There is a continued theme in the series with my protagonist, Marie Bartek and the SIPS (Sullivan's Island Paranormal Society) team. But to keep it fresh, my latest idea came from a neighboring island nicknamed, Coffin Island, based on the legend has it that ships entering the Charleston Harbor after a long voyage, would drop off sick and dying cholera passengers so as to avoid quarantine restrictions on the mainland. The dead were eventually buried “in coffins” on the island.
