Sometimes a meal gives me inspiration for a scene, such as this plate of moussaka on a rooftop terrace in Santorini.
The Temple of Dendur
The Metropolitan Museum’s Temple of Dendur is the setting for the opening scenes of The Sardonyx Cup!
Oceans of Inspriation

The Strenuous Life
Teddy Roosevelt embraced action over passivity. I say that works for writing as well. Outdoor adventures help with vivid descriptions.
Finding mystery in objects
This is a photo of a wall in a cabin in the Grand Tetons. Each object is worth a story. So much mystery.
Writing for intensity
I have never been able to just sit in a room and write. I live as intensely as possible and then record the feelings I have. For example a dog sled expedition in 20 below temperatures in the Norwegian arctic.
The Explorers Club
Every time I come to the Explorers Club, I feel like Lara Croft
Danger at the Museum
The British Museum’s Enlightenment Rooms – the locale for one of the scenes in THE SARDONYX CUP (release June 2012)
