No mysteries in my own life since I was always there. However, my father served in Army Intelligence. He always said he would write about his experiences, but he passed away and never got to it. He spoke Japanese & Korean, was a black belt in Judo, and he had a lock pick kit in his Army footlocker.

I'm a computer geek as a profession. I started thinking about what kind of job would I have if it was a couple hundred years in the future. Then I came up with the idea of a computer virus which infects the systems in a starship. The main character of Zegin Thomaz just grew from there. I created a backstory and universe for Zegin's Abduction, which sets the tone and entry for more stories to come.

I'm working on my first full-length YA Urban Fantasy novel called Air Born. It started as a short story submission to a writer's conference. Everyone who read the short story said that I HAVE to turn it into a novel. I'm currently half way through the first draft and I'm having a great time with it. My beta readers are loving it so far as well. You can get a sneak peek of the first rough chapter in the back of Zegin's Abduction and in the printed version of Zegin's Adventures.

Fortunately, I've not had a problem with this. When I wrote my first non-fiction book, I did find it was difficult to get rolling. I'd sit down and just stare at the screen for awhile. After a few weeks of regular writing I got into a groove where I would just sit down and start plugging away. It's pretty much the same with my fiction writing. I think it helps that I map the entire story and background into an outline before I even start writing. I put that on one screen (with Evernote) and Scrivener on the other screen. I re-read the last set of paragraphs from previous writing, peek at my outline, then I just start cranking away.
