I've never written a book. I have always wanted to write, but, I can't imagine what to write about or how to start. So, I thought that was a good idea, start with a history you know and add characters.

I'm kind of a history buff and one of the usual tips I've heard about writing is to write about what you know. This book series goes on for thousands of years. The dedication is, "To those who love history and wonder what happened in the gaps."

Sometimes I get a little momentum going then I hit a wall. I guess that's part of the process.
