I don't think I've ever suffered from writer's block as such. A block suggests an absence of ideas, whether for a story, or for a way out of a point in a story. I'm more likely to get a sort of writer's log-jam, where all the mad and many ideas I have get squashed together trying to fight their way out into the world.
That said, if I do get a bit stuck on a tricky plot details I find a brisk walk helps. Or tea. And of course, you can't have tea without biscuits. Or possibly cake.

Hi Paula! I just finished the Silver Witch and wanted to let you know that as a person with albinism, I was ecstatic with the way you portrayed Tilda and Seren. It's very hard to find books that don't have people with albinism as evil characters, so I am incredibly grateful for you portraying albinism accurately and in a positive light. Where did you learn about albinism and what it's like to have albinism?

I just finished reading Silver Witch and loved it. I want to read more of your books so I looked up your book list. I saw The Witch's Daughter which looks really good. I also saw The Book of Shadows that you wrote a few years ago. They look the same to me. Is the Witch's daughter a sequel or are they the same book but with different titles? I don't know which to read first.
