Hi there, Sir.

I’ve read your 6 books of The Saxon Tales, and I love them.  You are truly a great writer and an inspiration, as I too would like to write one day (hopefully in the near rather than far future).  I think I have a question about that.  Did you work a job while you wrote your first book?  What did you do for financial (and practical/realistic) obligations?  What was your mindset going into writing that book?  I am not quite sure what I should be doing right now as I am very wrapped up in my current work/family life and have concerns about saving money for retirement and so on and so forth.  Do you have any suggestions or anecdotes that could relate to what I’m going through at the moment?

Thanks for your time,

Soren
