Wel, "Farewell...Montey Greene" is a continuation of the first two books, "They Call Me...Montey Greene" and "Get...Montey Greene" so the idea was hatched before I even set out to write the first book. The first Montey Greene story was a trilogy from the outset.

When you have a head full of ideas you don't really need inspiration, but music always helps and understanding that you're not promised the next moment or tomorrow so I just try to take advantage of the days I'm blessed to wake up again. I'm very conscious of time going by.

My third Montey Greene novel, "Farewell...Montey Greene" which completes the "Identity Crisis Trilogy" and the actual first Montey Greene story. Also I have a YA or New Adult novel in the works called "Backspin." I'll let the public decide which one that is. Oh yeah, and I have a Montey Greene soundtrack for each book, creating enhanced e-books with 3-4 songs embedded in them and physical/digital EPs. Also just completed the screenplay for "They Call Me...Montey Greene" which is out to directors and actors as I type this. Working on getting that packaged, produced and filmed. Should be fun!!

Stop aspiring and just do the damn thing. True writers write, they don't aspire to write. Sit there and do it and you will be surprised at what will, or what won't come out of you. And don't worry about who's gonna like it, as long as you like it, that's all that matters, because theoretically there are a million people who like what you like, you just have to find a way to get it to 'em.

Finally getting the ideas out of your head to keep you from going crazy, and being able to paint those ideas in words on a blank canvas like an artist and seeing it manifest into something three-dimensional and tangible where nothing once existed...if that makes any sense.

Fortunately I'm constantly writing in different formats; screenplays, books, teleplays, music, shorts, etc..., so writer's block has never been as issue for me.
