After writing and producing a neighboorhood play at the tender age of six (earning all of tweny cents), award-winning author Lise Fuller took a sabbatical of many years before she found the love of writing again.
From many sources. I always loved action adventure and what I dub the Star Wars formula. Action, romance, good versus evil, and differing levels of complexity. I fell in love with Romance after reading The Wolf and the Dove, by Kathleen Woodiweiss. I had the honor of meeting her before she passed on and she was a marvelous woman. As to the action adventure side, The Three Musketeers, Robin Hood, Star Wars, Aladin, the Iliad, Wonder Woman, Superman, etc--all these things had an effect. I love the trials as humans we go through. They make us stronger.
