Over the years, I've changed my view of writer's block. I now view it as more friend than foe. I feel like if I have a bad case of writer's block, that's actually a sign of something bigger going on -- maybe the idea isn't quite ready to be birthed or I need more information or maybe I've been ignoring my self care (i.e. working too much) and I really need to go take my dog for a walk or take a day off.
Now writer's procrastination is a different animal -- to me, writer's procrastination is when I know what I want to be writing and I instead find myself messing around on Facebook or reading ESPN. That's when I know I need to close everything down, open up Word and start typing. Typically when I do that, after a few minutes I start to get into the writing.

I recently read and reviewed your book "The Murder Before Christmas" and loved it. I received my copy through BookSirens as an ARC, so as I usually do I posted my review on Goodreads and Amazon. Amazon has rejected my review for breaking their guidelines. I read and re-read the review and don't see where they're finding an issue, but anyway. Is there somewhere else I can post the review that would be helpful?

I've been reading the ARCs of your Charlie Kingsley series since book 1 and love it. I wait sometimes not so patiently for each new book to show up on BookSirens but I have a basic question. I can't figure out how "Wyle" is pronounced. How do you intend it to be said? Thank you!
