What inspires you, they ask? (And some writers reply, "I don't need no stinkin' inspiration. It's a job of work." And their writing usually reads like it was indeed a job of work.)

But I have been inspired of late, and as probably makes sense, what I read tends to inspire.

So, thanks for the inspiration ...

Stephen King with "The Life of Chuck" novella in IF IT BLEEDS.

Les Edgerton, author

, with the short novel HARD TIMES.

Robert Madia, with a novel, THE DISAPPEARANCE OF INSPECTOR LESTRADE.

You guys have fueled and fired this guy's creative engines and I appreciate it.
