When I get mental blockage, it helps to step away from the story for a little while. Take the kids to the park, walk the dog, read a book. Hot showers seem to break up the clogs in the old brain pipes sometimes. There are a lot of ways I can get lost in some unrelated activity, and then hopefully I will have climbed over the blockade by the time I resume writing. A lot of times something else I do or see or what not will trigger the idea with no effort on my part at all. Not that I've ever had writer's block or anything, you know.

This little question thing is pretty nifty. Anyway, I was scrolling down and saw you were pretty far into 'The Troop' by Nick Cutter. I was walking around the store the other day with that in my hand, I had only read one review, it sounded pretty good, but it also sounded ...generic? For lack of a better work. What I'm asking is, what do you think of it so far? Is it worth the read?

Hi Adam; Was interested in making contact with you for several reasons. I like your recommendations on Natchez Burning which I'm thinking of reading. I assume that book is worthy of its 800 page length? I also like Stephen King and saw your list of favorite books. The other reason why I thought I would contact you is that we share the same last name! I am Bill Light, 58 and live in New York.

Hi, I read your review on a book I have been thinking about reading, The Summer I Died by Ryan C. Thomas. This led me to discovery that we have a lot of books on our read/to read lists in common...so I would like to know if The Summer I Died is one of the most disturbing books that you have read? I just finished a book by J.F. Gonzalez and didn't know if it was more disgusting/gory than any of his books. - Kimberly
