When you feel the creativity in you, write at every chance you get. When it is gone, use the time to organize, market and do the stuff that your really wish a team of professionals could do instead!
Always jot down ideas. I've found that forcing a story can be ugly.

Watching others read my work and then discussing it with them. Spooky the first few times, but it is ultimately so much fun!

The sequel to Underlying Grace, Mighty To Save is in final edit. The book should be out in October. I am VERY excited about book 2. I am also writing the third book and fourth book in the series at the same time, and have just started a novella to slide between #s 2 and 3…call it book 2 ½.

Usually it is through action; something I have done, or am in the process of doing. As a family, we do a great deal for charity, and some small piece of this action is usually part of the ah ha moment. I also have a degree in Sociology, so, I watch the interactions of people, especially in crowd situations, and this can provide endless material. People are funny, sad and spooky sometimes!

I got the idea for my latest book by being caught in a gaggle of college kids on their way to a mission trip in Honduras. As my readers will know (see bio), I love Honduras, and this group of kids, in the Atlanta airport, helped me pull together an idea I was mulling over.
