I owe a great deal of thanks to my friends and fans who support my writing. I do my best to recognize those who take the time to not only read my work but who are brave enough to provide comments (both private and public) about my stories. I draw inspiration from many different places. Sometimes it is something I see, but I also draw inspiration from other writers.
