Borrowing is inevitable, to a certain degree. I tend to think every character ever written is partly fictitious and party based on someone (or more likely multiple someones) the writer knew, whether the writer even knows it consciously or not.

I also target not only people who have lived or know Oakland but those who have never been. I want to show people the good and sometimes not so good of the city. Every place has good and bad, places and people. I just want to bring it to life.

This book formed very quickly after the idea was in my head for a couple of months; it wrote itself in a couple of weeks.

Generally I let stories unfold by them self. There are times when I can sit down and write a story or chapter from start to finish.

You should be warned, though, that there’s almost no gore or swearing, since my intent is to tell a story; not to shock the reader.  Probably as a result, most of my readers so far have been women, and the most frequent comment I’ve heard is, “I didn’t expect to like it so much.  When is the next one due?”

 I originally had planned a trilogy and this story was nowhere on the radar.  But, one day I met some fellow writers at a conference my writing chapter gave and as we got to talking about the first books in the series and my angels and discussed world-building, they started asking me some interesting questions like “What is the worst thing an angel can do?” and “What would happen?”  That got me really thinking about the world I’d created.

Actually, all of my characters are inspired by people I know, meet, or observe. Josie (The Witness Series), for instance, is modeled on a judge who sits in Los Angeles Superior Court who went to college on a volleyball scholarship.

I start with a ‘what if?” idea, mull it over for a while (anywhere from a few days to months depending on where I am with the current work in progress) and let the major characters emerge in my mind.
