re: Writer's Block

In response to David L's post at Printnpost.com writer's block are very real indeed. As a creative person, for me it is easier to write and then market the work than to be given an assignment and a deadline with a word count before the first word is written. The worst writer's block I've ever had came when I was given a contract for a mermaid story. To that point, I'd always written the work and then tried to sell it. This was in reverse and had me sweating. I am happy to say that the story got written and is now published in a book, thank goodness.

HOT and Bothered By It is catching on

Hi all, I took my book on my cruise to Bermua and there is a shop owner at the Tobacco Bay Concessions who wants to order my books to sell at her two shops. Yay! Women were passing it around on the beach and reading it! It was awesome!

I have another book signing coming up at the Barnes and Noble in Newport News on July 28 from 1-3 pm.
