This is one of Goodreads' standard questions, but I feel as though I should answer it because it's something people often want to know. The answer is that I don't really get writer's block, because if one thing isn't working, I move on to something else. If a novel is stalled, I write a story. If a story's not working, I write a poem. That always seems to help. The other thing is, I'm so busy that I can't afford to waste time not writing. Having to do something, thinking of writing as a job you really have to do, also helps. I'm lucky that I haven't had a problem with it, but I think it's switching things up and also just not having time to not write . . .

I just wanted to let you know how much I enjoyed "The Strange Case of the Alchemist's Daughter". How difficult was it to write the novel with the constant interruptions, complaints and critiques from your characters? Thanks again for a great book. I'm impatiently waiting for the sequel. Please hurry next summer!

Loved The Strange Case of The Alchemist's Daughter! Now, into the sequel. Any thoughts of turning it into a screenplay/adapting it to the screen? LOVE, that it was female centered. I am currently working on a female centered novel about family and friends and their trials and tribulations in an idyllic Midwestern town. Another must read-> Who Cooked The Last Supper? by Rosalind Miles

Thank you so much for getting back to me! Loving European Travel! Will be sad when I come to the close, but planning on buying it, because I know my daughters will love the series someday! Have you ever read Ray Bradbury's Halloween Tree? Great quick read, at this time of year. Love to see Tim Burton turn it into a film! Looking forward to hearing what's next for Athena Club! Bonne chance et faites de beaux rêves!
