Starting Something New

A new book looms on the horizon, far off, but exciting!

I haven't written any kid's stuff in a while, but with two of my adult novels wrapping up in the next couple of months, I can't wait to dive back in.

Inspiration - Washington and Oregon!

When I first set out to write The Whispering Ferns, I didn't really have a story in mind. I knew I wanted to write about ghosts and mysterious houses and the wonder of exploring a new place, but I had trouble coming up with my location.

Until my wife and I took a vacation out to the states of Washington and Oregon, that is. We fell in love with the dark forests and quaint little towns along the coast and I had my location!

It wasn't long before a tiny fishing village began to take shape in my mind, a sheltered bay and pebbled sand beach, all framed by the leafy backdrop of the mysterious forest.

Moonstone Bay was born.
