What inspires you to write?
I have certain legal cases and issues that are of great personal interest to me.
Tell us about your writing process.
Since I am knowledgeable about the legal issues and know the cases I want to address, my main process is creating characters to tell the story. Fortunately, I am well educated and trained in creating characters, note membership in SAG-AFTRA and Actors' Equity Association.
For Fiction Writers: Do you listen (or talk to) to your characters?
My characters do what they want within the parameters of their personalities. It's exciting.

Write. Write. Write.
How did you decide how to publish your books?
I analyzed the market. I know the sales channels and formats and the percentages they hold in the market place. There is nothing creative about selling your artwork. And I will not give my opinion about the Elephant in the room that dominates book sales or the number of authors who can no longer support themselves with quality book production.
What do you think about the future of book publishing?
I hope that people worldwide will seek an educational level that makes them thirsty for knowledge and intelligent entertainment.
