Smashwords Interview

What is your writing process?
I don't really have a set schedule when it comes to writing. I write whenever inspired, and that can come at any moment's notice. I have realized that my inspiration grows whenever I'm around water, so I usually go to the beach whenever I want to connect with my Muse.
Do you remember the first story you ever read, and the impact it had on you?
I can't say I remember the FIRST story I ever read, but I do remember which story had the greatest impact. It was the book, The Celestine Prophecy by James Redfield. A friend recommended the book back in the early 1990s and I feel that book set the stage for my transformational journey.
