R.K. Gold Sorry this took so long! I was away from my computer for a week and don't get notifications for questions on my phone.
No, I try to incorporate Buffalo from time to time, and I feel like Buffalo plays a role in the fictional settings I create (at least its atmosphere) but I haven't used it at as a setting yet.

R.K. Gold I would have to say my all time favorite author is Stephen King. I don't really have a favorite genre, but if you give me a King book chances are I'm going to love it. Other authors who line my bookshelf are Orson Scott Card, Kurt Vonnegut, and Mark Twain.

I of course love the Harry Potter series too, I grew up with it, so J.K. Rowling will always have a special place in my heart.
R.K. Gold Let's see, I'm not entirely sure what made me write it. I suppose I just had an idea and once I started I thought I would see it through. As for what inspired me, I have to give credit to my dog Logan. Most of my inspiration is drawn from the walks he and I go on.
R.K. Gold I'd explore the wizarding world of Harry Potter. I'm still waiting on my Owl.
R.K. Gold I'm not sure where the idea came from to be honest, I just sort of kept asking myself what if questions until the world developed itself.
R.K. Gold The ideas are always there, once I sit down and dedicate the time the inspiration is easy. As the weather gets nicer the most difficult part of writing is just forcing myself to take a breath and sit at the desk.
R.K. Gold I'm putting the final touches on my summer release "Lost in the Clouds" and am outlining my next two manuscripts. I also am writing a collection of short stories under my other pen name Ari DoGood.
R.K. Gold Read and write as often as possible.
R.K. Gold Shoot where to begin? What I love about writing is the tangible progress. You can see your accomplishments developing by the word and as the weeks go by you see this messy canvas form into a complete manuscript.
R.K. Gold I usually take my dog for a nice long walk through the city listening to my iPod. By the time I get home I have at least some semblance of a new plot idea.
R.K. Gold I'm finishing the Underground Railroad by Colson Whitehead at the moment. I hope to finish Tesla's biography Wizard next and plan on reading a few Economic books through July and August.
