Hi Kathleen, I just recently read two of your books that were fantastic. My favorite being the Portrait of the Forbidden Lady and I am compelled to ask, will there be more from the Malvern's. I fell in love with them during the Seduction of Sarah Marks & Portrait of the Forbidden Lady dually had me hooked. I love them all and would love to know if I can look forward to more from them thru your amazing storytelling?

I'm so glad you enjoyed my books! Yes, there are more stories to come in the series. Next is Ridley Malvern's story. It should release in mid-late summer. Here's a little peek :-)

A WILD HIGHLAND HEART

Hi, my name is Cintia and I'm from Argentina. Being a writer is what I want the most in this world, nothing makes me happier than writing, but I'm more and more frustrated with each passing day, because I've been blocked for 3 years. And it is not that I have an unfinished story. I have NOTHING AT ALL. A blank page in front of me, that only makes me sadder... Is there a way to overcome this? How do you handle it?

In the first part of your question you state nothing makes you happier than writing. In the last part you say you have nothing written at all, only a blank page???? So you are not writing. Something is not right here and I think you know what I mean.
The first rule of writing is to write.
Pick up a pen and paper and start writing anything that comes to mind...the color of the sky, how you are feeling...anything. The easiest writing to begin with is your own life because you know it, so go back as far as you can remember and start writing about your life, the people in it, how you perceived them, how you think they perceived you, and so on. Unless you were raised in a bare room with blank walls and no one around, believe me, you have good fodder.
If you are really serious about being a writer, you must learn the craft. There are many online craft courses you can take. You must read as much as you write - in the genre you are interested in and others.
Three books I would recommend are Stephen King's On Writing, Anne Lamott's Bird By Bird, and Debra Dixon's Goals Motivation and Conflict.(less)

Quotes by Kathleen Bittner Roth

“I haven't laid eyes on you since the ship docked some three weeks ago, and suddenly here you are, knocking on my door with a stranger at your side, and announcing with no explanation whatsoever, that you and Old Chinese here would very much like to puncture various parts of anatomy. And you actually expect me to comply?”

“Oh, I would not want a knight with no dents. It means he has never been to battle, never fought for his honor, the things he believes in, or for sheer survival. Without the dents, sir, I would not trust my knight to be fully human.”
