1. Why do you blog?
I have two blogs. One, I do only because of my interest in the subject. The other one is a way to help other writers while helping/motivating me in my career.

2. Which author and/or book has most influenced you?
I’ve read a lot of good books by good authors over the years but I have to say Stephen King is my favorite. I love how he takes ordinary things that he has seen or experienced and turns it into an excellent book.

3. Which three blogs do you most visit?
At Home Writing at: http://athomewriting.blogspot.com/
Tales at Twilight at: http://onipar.blogspot.com/
A Newbie’s Guide to Publishing at: http://jakonrath.blogspot.com/

4. Why do you read fiction?
Well fiction often mirrors true events and you know what they say: “Truth is stranger than fiction”.

5. What makes you laugh?
Well, lots of things and people make me laugh. To be honest, I could write a book solely based on the things my brother says and does. He keeps each day interesting.

About Writing:

Plot springs from character . . . I've always sort of believed that these people inside of me - these characters - know who they are and what they're about and what happens, and they need me to help get it down on paper because they don't type. Anne Lamott
