Hi Christine! Thank you so much for your kind words and for reading and loving my books! I am doing a timeslip book next, but I hope it will include all the sorts of elements you loved in my current books. I hope, sometime, to return to the Victorian Ladies. Thank you!!!

Hey Cintia! I'm sorry my books aren't there yet. I hope they will be, soon!
Writer's block is often a case of either anxiety, or not knowing what comes next. Outlining your entire novel, even loosely, before you begin, can help. You'll always have a good idea of what comes next, so you can begin to write in that direction. It also helps with anxiety, because you aren't staring at a completely blank page.
James Scott Bell wrote an article once called, The Nifty 350. In it, he says just get yourself through 350 words, and after you do, the pump is primed and everything else will flow much more easily. Just make yourself do 350 words and see what follows!
Happy weekend! Sandra

I'm pretty sure I tried that, I reached page 14 of a story, simply to notice I didn't have a plot and no idea where the story was going...

No, I don't think I can get ebooks, but anyway... I hope ideas come soon... I haven't had one in 3 years or so, and it breaks my heart

Hi, Doreen! I do hope to add a wedding novella to that series, and am seriously toying around with the idea of more foodie fiction. Have you signed up for my newsletters, on my website? I can let you know, through it, when they are available. Thank you!!
Sandra Byrd
I would love to do this, Margaret. I'm sorry I didn't see it before now. Message me and we can set it up if you're still interested!! :)
