My first novel, A Foundation in Wisdom, is now on the market! It is the first of four novels in the An Orthogonal Universe series. John Bartlebee is a traveling historian.

The first thing you need to do is read. Read novels from every genre you can think of. Read things outside your comfort box. Read anything and everything. And please, for heaven's sakes, read the classics. Yes, they might be hard at first, but after you finish a few, you will find yourself a more eloquent reader and writer. Challenge your brain, don't just give it the easy stuff. This is how you get smarter. It doesn't matter that they don't seem appealing to you, give them a fair chance--at least some of them will. These books are classics for a reason, and whether or not you like them, you should be able to appreciate the artistry and understand what it is about them that makes them classics.
