Goodreads asked Dave Lemel:

Where did you get the idea for your most recent book?

Dave Lemel For most of my adult life I had thought about trying writing as a hobby. In October of 2015 I was on a walk with my one year old daughter and the idea for the Star Marshals series hit me like a bolt of lightning. I ran the stroller home as fast as I could and jumped in the car with my daughter. We raced to the local chain drugstore and I bought a small notebook to keep track of the ideas as they poured in.

Over the next three weeks I could not shut it off. I was even waking up from dead sleep in the middle of the night to add to the notebook. I started to read articles and blogs on what to do from there to start the process of actually writing a book. I discovered there was a mountain of advice out there and the mountain had many different techniques that writers employed. The stories that resonated the most for me were of writers who had no real organized outline process. They said they simply had their ideas and notes and then started writing and let the story unfold. So that is what I did. It was perfect for me. I fell head over heels in love with writing and have not stopped.

The most recent book published is the second book of the three part Star Marshals series. I feel like I made some decent strides as a writer from book one to book two. I am targeting a release for book three in late spring or early summer of 2018.

If you decide to give the Star Marshals series a try I hope you have as much fun reading them as I did writing them.
