Samantha Gilson asked Fern Michaels:

how do you know which of the stories you see in the news or TV would be captivating enough to be story worthy or not? And another question if you have two idea do you write two books at a time or one then the other? If you do one then the other where do you get the concentration to finish the one with the excitement building of the next?

Fern Michaels I guess I am instinctive and just know what has the basis to create a story around it. I always have ideas swirling around in my mind. I have always been gifted as a story teller. Eventually one surfaces with most of the elements I need to start writing. Because I love writing and creating stories, it is natural for me to finish a story and start the next one.
