Last week I posted that "Bending the Bookshelf" (http://bibrary.blogspot.com) would feature an interview of sorts, a "Guest Post", culled from some correspondence back and forth between the editors and myself. It has appeared today, Wednesday the 19th. It's a compilation of some Q&A from my emails and is followed by a brief listing of my current books, with little explanations. Some of them should be familiar to BCTS readers. I only hope that I don't sound like an egotistical goof or pompous windbag–or no more than usual!

BCTS is mentioned and linked. And immediately below the post, there's a nice review of my book "Breath of Life", which was posted in series here.

Very cool.

I enjoyed your "Guest Post" interesting trip to finding your way here. I am looking forward to reading through all of your works. What sparks the ideas in your mind real world events or just thinking a subject would be interesting to write about?

I wear this crown of thorns
Upon my liar's chair
Full of broken thoughts
I cannot repair

Where do I get ideas?

The sparks vary. Some of them were mentioned in the "Guest Post", but here's a few others where I can recall the trigger: Breath of Life: What if a dead girl inhabited a boy "for safekeeping". Fool Moon: An image of an ageless witch in a cottage on a lonely beach. On the Road-Again series: Androgynous rockers, hair bands. The XY Axis: Icelandic genetics, inbred First Families. Role of a Lifetime: The cable channel FX series The Riches.

So they're real world, in a way, but in every case, I wanted to follow the main character's journey to identity.
