Oh, what an interesting question! I think the basement of my childhood home. My siblings and I swore that it was haunted. It was actually made as a living space, i.e. an apartment, and everyone left their things there - aunts, uncles and more. It was sort of like a museum and it gave off a creepy sort of vibe. We used to turn off the lights on each other.

To be honest, Middle Earth. Tolkien's world is so fascinating, I'd love to learn the language and experience the events itself.

Sometimes, ideas pop into my head. Dreams sometimes become story ideas. Life events shape some of my characters. Basically, a little part of me gets put in each character, setting and plot. Experience is always inspiration.

I don't really have a reading list at any time. I pick up whatever is interesting and read it.

Hahahahahahahaha...there are many wonderful things about being a writer. I mean, thinking about plot twists, the joys of enjoyment and more. I like being a writer for the simple reason of allowing people to imagine, think and reach. I want to make them think and believe.

Well, I can't force myself to write. When I can't write, I stop. I have to wait until I get the "block" removed. It doesn't come easily. It comes and goes.

No matter what, never give up. Even if your pieces are bad, learn from it. Take the reviews in stride and build up from them. Don't ever get discouraged! I did because some person decided to give nasty reviews. Then, I decided that I loved to write so much and got back up.

I am doing some research on the Salem Witch Trials. I plan to base my next book on those events.

It is mostly autobiographical actually. About 65% of the book came from notes I wrote during the time frame of the book itself. The rest came from other personal experiences or from stories drawn from the heart.
