When you're working on a book and a new idea pops up, should you pursue it immediately (also known as 'UP syndrome') or finish your current project first? What do you think is the best course of action?It used to happen and I never ignore them. I just keep detailed notes of them quickly because recollecting them later may become diffcult. But that never interferes seriously with my current work.View More

Can you tell us a little about your background and why you wrote your non-fiction book, It’s YOUR Business?As you know, I mostly write mystery, though I've published historical and contemporary romance, middle-grade and children's books, along with non-fiction. I wrote It's YOUR Business because I saw the need and have the expertise to provide help.After 36 years in finance, marketing, and global transportation, I’ve learned a few things about business that transition well to managing my writing career. Most authors are creative and want to focus only on writing. Once their book is completed, they may not realize they’re now in business for themselves. This is true regardless which path to publishing a writer takes. It’s time to take off the creative hat and put on the CEO hat. You are now...View More

When you're working on a book and a new idea pops up, should you pursue it immediately (also known as 'UP syndrome') or finish your current project first? What do you think is the best course of action?Quite often, new ideas are created from the research you do on your current story. It may be a specific fact that you find that is interesting or your story leads to another story idea. If you jump from one idea to the next, you'll never finish anything.My suggestion is to write down the idea and any thoughts about where the story might go. Once you ready for a new project, you will already have a starting spot.I do write more than one story at a time, but no more than two. When I am unsure where the current story is going, (I do not outline my stories but write with a basic story idea and vague idea for the ending) I'll switch to the other story to allow my mind a break from the original st...View More

When you're working on a book and a new idea pops up, should you pursue it immediately (also known as 'UP syndrome') or finish your current project first? What do you think is the best course of action?I am a children's books author so when a new idea for a book pops up, I write the whole manuscript in a day. I am methodical so the new book will go to the back of the queue while I complete my current project.View More

How did you become an author and get published? Share your experience.I've always been a writer at heart because putting my thoughts into words has been my go-to way of expressing myself. When it came to "The Marvelous Misfits of Westminster," I simply decided it was time for this creation to see the light of day, so I took matters into my own hands and self-published the book. Waiting around for others? Not my style. If you believe the world needs to read something, why hold back? Share it with the world!To be honest, it took me about 20 years to muster up the confidence to share a piece I'd written. But with the Misfits, I just knew deep down that this piece was something truly special.View More

How did you become an author and get published? Share your experience.Writing under a pen name for the first time was an experiment. While I was releasing my book on my own. The good news is that self-publishing options are available these days. Which is introducing readers and the world to some excellent authors and books. According to my experience, writing a book and self-publishing it is not very difficult; however, getting it noticed by readers and promoting it are more difficult and costly tasks that most people cannot afford. I believe that some literary treasures and authors remain obscure as a result.View More

1. Your book introduces readers to the captivating world of Mongolian nomadic culture. What sparked your interest in and passion for sharing little-known ways of life?My fascination with diverse cultures began in childhood, when I stumbled upon an old National Geographic magazine featuring the tree houses of Papua New Guinea. I was instantly transfixed by this glimpse into a way of life so different from my own. It sparked an insatiable curiosity about the myriad ways humans adapt to their environments and create meaning.As I grew older and began to travel, I realized how much richness and wisdom exists in cultures that often go overlooked by the wider world. In Vanuatu, I was moved by the profound connection to nature and community. In Torajaland, I witnessed how art and ritual can bridge the worlds of the living and the dead. And in Mongolia, I saw firs...View More

How did you become an author and get published? Share your experience.During the pandemic, when everyone (including me and my spouse) was watching TV and cooking, I began taking long walks where I would mull over story ideas. I was a history major, so while I am very familiar with writing long research papers, I had no real experience with writing fiction. I wrote something like 5 books before taking a class at Grub Street (a non-profit for writers located in the Seaport of Boston) on the narrative. I needed to be sure that what I had written was following the laws and rules of writing. I took a class on the narrative (all the different styles: 1st person, 2nd person, 3rd person) and my debut novel: Twinkies & Beefcake, was born out of that class. We had r...View More

How did you become an author and get published? Share your experience.In my job as a salesman before email, I had to write introductory letters to hopefully get a customers attention before I followed up with a phone call. Over time my writing improved and as an avid reader I decided to try my hand at writing a novel in my spare time. It took ten years to write my first novel, called Whipping Post, mostly at night or on the weekends. After finishing I tried to find a publisher or agent to no avail. I enrolled in a class at a local junior college where I found out the teacher had her own small publishing company. She liked the novel and took it through the process of getting published. The book had tepid sales, primarily because neither of us knew how to market...View More
