And life changes. Maybe just a little, maybe a lot. And at some point, it just isn't worth the fight to fix it.

I've often said that there's no such thing as writer's block, the problem is idea block

Of course, all writers draw upon their personal experiences in describing day-to-day life and human relationships, but I tend to keep my own experiences largely separate from my stories.

We have years to converse with someone, to blurt and rant, to explain our desires and anger and regrets - and oh how we squander those moments.

I write pretty much anywhere - on planes, in hotel rooms, anywhere in my house.

That's the past for you. Not only does it come back at the most unexpected, and inconvenient, times but it's set in stone.

Readers are paramount. I live to write books for them.
