DREAMS .... maybe past life experiences .. stories and characters unravel in my brain and I have to put the words to paper - they pop into my head indiscriminately, no matter what I am doing, they are so real, they must be a part of who I am. These characters continue their lives in my head, that is why this will be the first book in a Series .... they continue to live on.
