I have searched for inspiration in all parts of the world. My residences have included England, Italy, France, Honduras, the U.S., Mexico.

I have found peace in a small village in Mexico and spend my time writing there.

I believe in justice and that inspired my most successful book. I am fascinated with the concept of time and that inspired Micah's Mountain. I am intrigued with people who take great chances in life and that inspired Shanghai Diary.

I believe writing is an extension of the soul and I like to go there sometimes to see what I have left.

“And like all things, the problems disappeared. The challenges, goals and ambitions melted into folly and the reasons for all things homogenized into us and the enchantment of coffee-flavored kisses on a bright and promising morning became our religion, hope, destiny and dream. And it was beautiful then . . . . in a two room flat in the Alps of a city where love once lived.”
