I have found that working on two or more projects at once helps with this. There is always a story to tell and if one isn't flowing there is no reason not to work on the other. I try not to pen myself in, so to speak.

Being a writer is being a creator.

Always aspire. Work, edit, edit, edit and make the story the very best that you can. I believe that every writer knows that a story will never be perfect but if it is yours, own it.

I feel driven to write and also have a passion for history and imagination. The people I love and the relationships which surround me are great sources of inspiration.

My most recent book, "Planters of the Crown," is the first of a series. It has been an ongoing project since college. Ten years in the making and the story will unfold into the politically charged European environment surrounding the first English colony to America. I chose to begin this saga in Ireland, because it was there that a unique combination of historical characters ultimately find themselves entwined in a battle of religion fraught with greed, ambition and ultimate betrayals. Such were the circumstances that led to the disappearance of over one hundred souls somewhere on the shores of North Carolina.
