writing formula
As I finish the revisions on the third book in my series, I think about the formula every writer follows to make sure their book is as good as it can be. The steps are as follows:
1. Write
2. Edit
3. Revise
4. Repeat
My youngest son always asks me if I'm revising my edits and editing my revisions. The answer is, as always, yes. He gets a kick out of that and tells everyone that's what I do.
Revising and editing are my favorites parts of writing. Taking a rough draft and molding it into something I hope readers will enjoy. That's what makes it all worthwhile.

inspiration
When I have a certain scene in mind, I'll turn to music for inspiration to get it just right. I listen to everything from smooth jazz to hard rock. I recently found a wonderfully haunting Irish lullaby that was perfect for book 3 in my Angel Haven series.
