Voices in the dark

Many times I am asked where my inspiration comes from and quite honestly, my simplest answer is "it just comes." There are times when I am driving, eating, watching a movie or even in the shower when something comes and I always either write it down or tape record it. Who knows when I will be able to use it or in which book, as I am presently working on my second, with a third in mind.

It all will fall into place as I recount the struggles of my vampire Christian Du Maure, as he learns his true identity. Just like any of us, he struggles with his decisions, his regrets and his hopes for the future.

Sometimes I even hear my characters talking to me in their thick accents. I can see them conversing. It's like a movie playing in my head as I try to capture them on paper before the moment passes and my muse dances away.
