As many of my readers and fans may have guessed, I read books of all types, non-fiction, fiction, genre, crime, science fiction, etc. For me, as a writer, I receive inspiration from all forms of writing, and really, all forms of art. It keeps me fresh, relevant and way ahead of trends! This week I’ve chosen to read, Salt to the Sea, by Ruta Sepetys. Most readers know of her work and I’m no exception.

I am humbled to receive engaging and intriguing reviews. It means the world to me people are enjoying my novel, whether they are fans or seasoned critics. It’s fascinating to read insights, some which are new to me, things I had not thought of in regard to the characters and the events.

Because believe me, I will. I’m working on my next novel, 'The Doll Maker,' a story about Annie, one of the characters in 'Paper Boats.' In this book, we follow Annie on her journey, which happens at the exact time Otto is on his. It will have all the twists and turns of Paper boats but on a mu

While I have been writing for many, many years, I still consider myself new to the industry. There was a time when I had to have complete silence around me to write. Not even a piece of dust could hit the ground, because I would hear it and it would ruin my thoughts. It was very frustrating but after about six months that all went away. For starters, in my pressed world it just wasn’t realistic. Something always interrupted. I read an article about how Tiger Wood’s father wou
