This question contains spoilers...
(view spoiler)[Hi- you offered people who did not win the giveaway you sponsored to contact you via the Goodreads page to request a free signed, printed copy of your Ronin short stories. I've marked this query as a spoiler, but my understanding is that once you respond, this query/answer will not remain private & I don't want my full contact details published. Do you have an alternate contact email?

Hello there,
Oh, you can certainly email me at [email protected] or, if you make a friend request, then you can message me straight from inside Goodreads. I have no preference and you can choose the method you prefer.

The eye-opening "Re-engineering Humanity," and highly entertaining "A dead wizard's dream."

I am now summarizing the events or statements in the first book which will need to be addressed in the second. Once I have these listed, I will begin the writing of the second volume, so in a week or two. And because, as I reread the first, I inevitably find errors, I mark them for correction in the next version of the first book.

I have tried many things to try and coax my imagination into a frenzy of ideas and thoughts; I have gone and sat at the local Starbucks, I have sat on my deck on nice days, I have sat in the kitchen and in my office. But I have not been able to identify a set of conditions which would cause me to be inspired, despite being a scientist. What I have understood, is that some days will bad, others good, and others still amazingly so. Therefore, my approach is to simply sit down and work, every day, and if inspiration does not come on a particular day, I stop or work on things which do not require inspiration (such as outlines, or editing), or which might require a different kind of inspiration (like maps, character profiles, etc.).
