I've actually used this one (it isn't a spoiler, though). I once had a girlfriend who more or less vanished...actually, two! Must be something I ate. Anyway, it took a while to find out what happened to them and in both instances it was, well, exciting in a fiction-making sense.
Come to think of it, there were three. Yes, it must have been something I ate.

What a great question! Why didn't I think of that? I would love it if those lucky people would leave me an honest review here on GOODREADS and also on AMAZON. And don't forget...I'm always here, ready to answer any questions...even the one's I think up myself.

That would be "books" and, generally speaking, I get all my my ideas from "life" and the real world around me, nature...sometimes the news.

Honestly, I don't know. I just do it. I've been doing it since I was seven-years-old.

Read and write. Then read some more. In fact, read a lot. Come to think of it, read everything you can. Don't watch too much television. Don't buy into that idea of "The Golden Age of Television," not unless you want to write TV scripts.

I play video games, watch the news, read a lot and play with my cat. Something always comes up.

I don't have a summer reading list. I read all the time. As a fiction writer, I tend to read, these days, mostly non-fiction, and whatever I can get my hands on. Why do I avoid fiction? Because I steal and I don't want to steal from other fiction writers... SO mostly I steal information from hard-working investigative writers and great thinkers (to whom I can therefore give credit in some fashion!!). It is okay to steal...TS Eliot says so.
