Hello! I am a young beginning writer who is interested in writing short stories but I'm having a hard time making the story interesting and short. Do you have any tips? Also, where do you get ideas for your names?
Jeff Wheeler
Hi there, thanks for your question! My advice would be to read a lot of short stories, especially well-written ones. I actually run an e-zine called Deep Magic (you can find it on Amazon). We go through thousands of short stories and only publish the best of the best. That would be a great start. I have many sources of inspiration for names. One of them is looking at maps. That really sparks many of my ideas.

Love all your books . Have read many of them twice. Just finished reading the Argentine series and remember reading a book where ransom has to Make a choice between Claire and someone else. Was wondering what book was that. After finishing this series didn’t see this issue ?
