My favorite influence for my wrting is life itself - not just mine, but anyone or any event that means a lot to me.  This is why I know I will continue writing for the rest of my life.  The possibilities and subjects are endless.  Of course, I would never exclude the past as well as the present, so that covers countless characters and plots!  The fact that I still have a day job is very irritating to me!  Twenty-four hours is not nearly long enough for each day since I have to spend 8 of those hours concentrating on something totally unrelated to writing and another 6-8 hours sleeping.  I need more time.  I'm sure this is what I'll be saying on my death bed.  "Wait - I'm not done yet!" So far I have had 5 plays published by Samuel French, which have all been written to honor someone I admire or an event that stands out in my life.  Of course they are all comedies.  More to come! I also wrote and conduct The Vampire Tour of San Francisco!  This is a very fun way to learn the history of San Francisco.  About 85% of the script is true San Francisco history with fun vampire lore and humor mixed in.  I have written a similar tour for New York and London and hope to sell those to someone who will have as much fun with them as I have with the San Francisco tour.  Again, more to come!
