Long walks, lots of sleep, occasional travel, and a decent and carefully-prepared cup of coffee.

Another historical novel, this time set in the early reign of King James I. It's a love story based centered around an infamous and well-remembered character of the period. I've really enjoyed blending fact with fiction.

Keep going, keep going, keep going. Show up at your desk, with or without the muse. Do not edit until the first draft is complete. Finally, trust yourself, your ideas, but keep them to yourself until you've finished.

Getting lost in one's head and discovering thoughts that can be teased and expanded into ideals which in time form stories. I love the incubation period of a novel; the way the world seems to speak to me differently as I discover the book's essence. Most of all I love the solitude of writing.

Fortunately, I do not suffer from writer's block. My main affliction these days seems to be a lack of time; I suppose if I could stretch time's elastic, I would make the mornings longer.

I invested several million into cryptocurrency. Not long afterward, I lost the password.

I would love to travel back in time, to Georgian or Victorian London. I would love to know how the city felt, what drove the average person, what people ate and wore, and the phrases they used. Perhaps I might take in a play or two. I suppose this is the main reason I was driven to write historical fiction: to learn more about the past.

I have always been interested in healing and the medicines of the past. What fascinated me the most was how apothecaries became modern day doctors/ GPs and not the physicians of old and this was mostly down to the apothecaries being the first to provide free-medicine for those who couldn’t afford it. Prior to this, only the rich could seek treatment. Even then, it was the doctors� remedies that were often more quack-like compared to the wholesome herbs of the apothecary. My hope is that medicine might one day go full-circle!
