I thought it might be fun to take you inside a writer's mind. Readers often ask me, "Where do you get your ideas?" That's a hard answer to give because ideas come from so many different places. A research tidbit I ran across years ago. A place I visited. A book I read. A television show I watched. A Bible verse. The fact that I wanted something to explode.

I usually have a crossword puzzle going at the breakfast table, and I enjoy playing Words with Friends, Wordle, and Word Warp on my phone.
