Though my books are written from a historical perspective, I have goon so far back that I am in the realm of prehistorical speculation rather than simple historical fact to weave my stories around.
It took some time to gather the research and develop it into the storyline, and to finally finish an origin myth poem that I had been working on for twenty years.
I'm just writing a story that I want to read.
I think of my books as mainstream and that's were most people who read them look for them in book stores.
I started writing to please myself, a story I would like to read, and that is still true.
Life sometimes gets in the way of writing.
I really fell in love with Africa.
