I must admit that since I started writing about five years ago I haven't taken the time to play. When my sons were growing up I played Chrono Cross; Mario Party; Phantasy Star, Fable, Knights of the Old Republic, etc. I was the only mom they could count on to play Halo when they needed another player. The last game I played was Tales of Vesperia--fun, light, and fantasy.

I don't have a list per se, I just keep moving forward finding the next and the next as I go.

C.J. Darlington from Mountainview Books. We're working on the cover for Lander's Legacy, the book I plan to release by the end of May or beginning of June. I'm so excited to share it, she's doing an excellent job. Beautiful!

I don't know how it works for other writers, but for me I tend to get bogged down when something I've just written isn't right. I usually go back, read what I wrote before the block and figure out what needs changing. Once I make the changes, my thoughts usually flow again. At this point, I've only published one book, but I've written four and am working on the fifth.

I can set free those stories flitting around in my mind and stop them from waking me in the middle of the night. And ... when I do get the impressions in the middle of the night, I have somewhere to put them.

Just do it. At least get a first draft written without questioning yourself until you have it written. James Scott Bell's book The Art of War for Writers advises: Write fast and furious; edit slow and careful. For me, that was great advice.

Currently I'm editing book two of the Seven Words, The Light Arises while writing the sequel to the series. At this point the working title for the sequel is A Weight of Reckoning, but that might change.

I like to listen to music, most especially Christian rock. I love the music of groups like Red and Skillet and Thousand Foot Krutch

Two and a half years ago, after meeting with a few other people from my neighborhood who wanted to write, I sat down at my laptop and started writing. I'm not certain where the idea came from. There wasn't a specific inciting incident. The first line I typed was: "Travis was a seasoned world skipper. He had traveled the skipping lines—those mysterious wormholes between the seven planets of the Ochen System—into and out of all seven worlds for the better part of forty years. He had worked hard to build a reputation as a vendor of specialty procurement services."
That line is no longer the first line in the book, it's been moved. But because it was the start of my journey into writing a book, it's found a home in chapter 3.
