In reply to Mary Gillgannon. Thanks Mary. I don't doubt your knowledge. There's more we don't know about the universe than what we do know!

Hi Shannon, Congrats on the WOTY award. You deserve it! I write what I know, but it's all set in the past and I don't know how I know it. Ancestral DNA, I guess. Great post. I enjoyed it.

Oh, I do love books with a Native American aspect theme! I write paranormal romances for Harlequin. Nope, I've never been a mermaid like my characters but the emotional journey - yeah, that's all mine.

And Flagstaff is my husband's dream town. 🙂

Much success to you!

In reply to Trinity Rivers. One of the trickiest things about being a writer is discovering our strengths and playing to those!

Good advice. I keep getting caught up in the trap of "if I like sci-fi or post apocalypse fiction, then that's what I should write." What I should do is stand back and let people who are good at that genre do it. My own life has been so bizarre that nobody would believe half of it. That is what I should be writing about :)

In reply to Bob Stewart. That sounds fascinating and very complicated!

In reply to Shannon Baker. Actually the concept is more in keeping with law enforcement and stands alone as a journey into the occult in which all rituals, save one, are accurate and all incidents involving law enforcement, except for the climax, are accurate. I mix true life incidents with my own creations in which a deputy sheriff's daughter is kidnapped by a drug lord.

In reply to Fae Rowen. In my opinion, the world could use more twisted minds. Write on!
