One of the most common book-related questions I am asked:

When did you find time to write a book?

The simple answer: wherever and whenever I could! Ideas come to me at weird times, that’s why I try to keep my writer’s notebook handy, so I can capture them for later. Then it is a matter of finding a little bit of time here and there. Between work and family life it can be a challenge to find a few dedicated hours to sit and write. The Notes app on my iPhone is one of my secret weapons: I can type up a few sentences or paragraphs and later email them to myself. This allows me to assemble my story bit by bit. When I think of all of the places where I worked on This Glorious Cause I have to wonder how it came together. I guess the answer to that is in the editing process, but more about that later!
