Some writers seek stillness while they write. Others love hanging out in busy coffee joints, with a lot of background noise and distractions. I prefer to have music playing while I write, most often with no lyrics. When I wrote this scene a song I'd never heard from streamed onto Pandora. It's called "Snow Over Arizona," by the Stone Lions. The song became an instant favorite and actually inspired the entire chase sequence. I love this song and will always be grateful for it in forming one of my readers' favorite fight scenes. Thank you, Stone Lions!
Book Excerpt
The Quest for the Temple Key
A high-pitched wail preceded the ball of flame as it hurtled in between the gargoyles, and was followed by the screams of Amy and Danielle as they looked behind them. The gargoyle Nahgflint was indeed in hot pursuit of his prey. In the night sky, he was visible only because of his flaming eyes and the glint of moonlight on his furiously flapping wings. Their enemy was gaining on them. Fast.
