I would go to a world where Å·±¦ÓéÀÖ would not spam my author account with bot questions, where I could relax. There's no 'off'-switch for this.

Hi Mike, I'm glad you liked it. I'm not sure I have an answer for your question, but I'll give it a go. I work quite a bit with people who have broken lives, for one reason or another. I think that, perhaps, I process some of what I deal with when I'm sleeping. After waking up one morning with the tag end of a dream I began work on Frost. Although the dream had no direct correlation with the story, it's fair to say that it was the trigger. I hope that's an adequate answer!

That's a question any indie author is delighted to be asked! I'm always happy to supply a review copy of any of my books or short stories - of course, some of them are permanently free anyway. Have a look at the list of links, and let me know by pm or email if there are any that you think you would enjoy.

Given that I write - mostly - SF and Fantasy, that's kind of an odd question! However, I have to agree that there is nothing like personal experience, especially of the hard kind, to provide a solid foundation and greater depth for a writer in any genre. Even if one's experience is not the subject of the story, it does improve one's ability to relate to people and to life.
Having said that, it doesn't necessarily follow that having experience means that writing about it is necessarily going to be good writing. A recent critical review helped me by reminding me that for an author to like his characters is not the same thing as that author being able to make them engaging for the reader!
