Lisa Kaniut Cobb What a great question. I think the future is the biggest mystery we all face. Every choice changes it. How about a book where you can go back and make a different choice and see how it turns out? That's a time travel story, or a choose your own ending book!
Lisa Kaniut Cobb I have my happy places, like hikes in the Colorado mountains. A walk in the woods can do wonders to get the creative juices flowing. Sometimes I'll have a turning point I have to work out. Since my books are set here, I'm also gathering impressions for future passages. I'm lucky I don't get lost and fall off mountains. So far so good.
