To Alexander Dumas 1600's for the Three Musketeers! My all all all time favourite read! I love the romance of the era, the swashbuckling and the beautiful language! I would drink ale, fight fights and dress lavishly!

Sweeny Todd and Lucy Barker... So Weird, Gothic and in a strange way, tragic.
Although she does not appear in the story until an adaptation in 1945, I actually think the story was improved! Terrible thing to say, I know!

I write something completely different, not pertaining to my current book..sometimes it lasts a week..but keep using your tool..txt..Facebook it..tweet...but leave your book alone until that magic happens

Telling the world one of your stories... Having an audience.. Even if this is just a submission.. You have touched someone's realms where they imagine.. You are immortal..

Submissions are not as harrowing as you might have been lead to believe... I found it enjoyable.. Take the bonuses.. I had great feedback from some very influential sources.. These little gems come up and you must treasure them..I 100% admire any talent who has composed a piece of literature.. People,perhaps, do not realise what this takes..there are no bad authors..just missed opportunity.. Submit every day, twice at least!

I am nearing the end of my second novel.. Very secret, of course! Magical, mystical, dark and compelling..

Literally a single word will inspire me..it's beauty..it's meaning.. It's connotations.. The English language is such a work of art..and we created it..probably the most beautiful too..

The Hangman's Hitch is as much an observation on the Devil as it is on the Devil within..personally I have met some people who either genuinely touched my soul or who literally made the hair on the back of my neck stand up...we have all met those people.. When instinctively you back off..it's primitive I guess..also am fascinated by the biggest mystery to man...does the Devil actually exist? In ancient text and scripture, which is fascinating translated, surprisingly opinion on the whole remains as it does today..people are still warey...I just find the subject compelling..we never seem to tire of it..
