That&rsquo;s a tough question, but I guess I would have to say that writing allows me to escape into a world much more exciting than my day-to-day life and to take readers on outrageous adventures. I started out writing non-fiction and have published over eighty travel, geographic, and human-interest pieces. I enjoyed this type of writing, but in many of my articles I could see places, people, or experiences that, if grossly embellished, would lend itself well to suspense and adventure fiction.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n\tI&rsquo;ve always loved stories of survival against the odds and happily-ever-after endings, which if I&rsquo;m in charge of the keyboard, that is exactly what I get. Books can help us to escape reality, if for just a moment, and indulge in flights of fancy, heart-warming romance, and happily-ever-after endings. Life doesn&rsquo;t always provide for happily-ever-after, but depending on the genre a reader chooses, he or she can find that warm and satisfying feeling at the end of the book.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n\tWriting gives me the freedom to explore the limitless possibilities of my imagination and to share those stories with others. I write primarily to entertain, but if any of my books encourage readers to dream, take out a map, or just ask &ldquo;what if&rdquo; then I&rsquo;ve accomplished more than I set out to do.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n\tI hope if you haven&rsquo;t checked out my novels, that you will join in one of my adventures or suspense stories and enjoy the diversion.&nbsp;&nbsp;\n<\/p>\n<p>\n\t&nbsp;\n<\/p>\n<p>\n\tAvailable Now!\n<\/p>\n<p>\n\t<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"A Measure of Madness (Risky Research)\" type=\"text\/html\" width=\"1080\" height=\"550\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen style=\"max-width:100%\" src=\"https:\/\/read.amazon.com\/kp\/card?preview=inline&#038;linkCode=kpd&#038;ref_=k4w_oembed_iY3tyLSqQAbC6k&#038;asin=B08TX7C1BZ&#038;tag=kpembed-20\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I am often asked what I love most about writing.
