The biggest challenge is finding time as it is with any book.  Writing is my passion, but it’s also something I do when I can make the time.  My business interests require a good deal of my attention, so that comes first and writing comes second.  I guess another big challenge has been the depth of this novel.  It’s a pretty intricate storyline; there’s a lot going on in this book, and it takes time to lay everything out in the book.  There are a lot of characters involved, and they all have to be developed.  Having said all this, the book is progressing nicely.  I’m happy with what I’ve done with it so far, and I’m very excited to get it completed, perhaps later this year.  I think it’s going to be very well received by the readers.  Not only does it have elements of a good drama, but I am working in a murder and plenty of mystery as well.
