It was followed by three more Harlequin Blaze novels, including AFTERNOON DELIGHT which spent two weeks on Bookscan's best-seller list and my first mystery entitled ANOTHER SIDE OF MIDNIGHT. Writing is so intensely personal- everything on each page has to come from the heart. However, we can't create from nothing and struggling with the obstacles Life all too often throws in front of us only makes writer's block worse. I understand that. I've been exactly where you may be - Blocked. Despite all my years of writing, writer's block happened to me at some point in every one of my manuscripts. But it won't happen anymore. Developing the idea for the Writing Blocks Idea Dice(R) helped reconnect me with the joy of writing and, more importantly, has already allowed me to help other frustrated authors and aspiring writers.
