Karen Jackson asked C. Craig Coleman:

What inspires you to write?

C. Craig Coleman I used to have a very imagination as a child. A teacher/friend told me as a kid I should write down some of my tales. When I lost my career about forty-five years later, I thought it might be a good idea. I had to learn to write from my mistakes, but once I started, there was no going back. The epic fantasy books took on a life of their own. I was along for the ride. It took many years to perfect those books but with each element learned, like 'show don't tell' the inspiration elevated. The better you tell your story, the more exciting it becomes for the author as well as for the reader.
Positive feedback from professional reviewers like Readers' Favorite and Midwestern Book Reviews has added more inspiration. What could be more inspiring than the feeling an author gets when a reader 'gets it!'
