What is your writing process?
By writing process I assume you mean do I use outlines to write my novels. I'm of those writers who doesn't use outlines but what I do use is my dreams. I know it sounds a bit crazy but most of my books are a result of something I dreamed about first then I started to write about it. Sometimes, it starts as a scene in my dream or a conversation I remember from the dream and ends as a novel. Needless to say, I keep a notepad, a flashlight and several pens at my bedside.
Do you remember the first story you ever read, and the impact it had on you?
No but I do remember one of the first books I read was to KILL A MOCKING BIRD. The book was in one of those Reader's Digest volumes that had 5 or 6 bestselling book in one volume. I remember reading the Mrs. Arris goes to Paris series, too. Both books made me realize how everyday events could have powerful, earth-shattering consequences.
