Hi Meg, We like audiobooks and was wondering why books #2+ #3 are in audiobooks but not book#1?
Meg D. Gonzalez Hi Scott! I love audio too. Book #1 was in production when it was first released, but the narrator backed out part way through the project. From what I understand, my publishing house is not pursing re-recording it. It's a bummer and completely out of my control. But luckily, since each book is a stand-alone, they can can be read or listened to independently.

HI. Am totally blind, so listen to audio books. I am currently reading salty crisps and loving it. I know it's marketed for young adults, but this old adult is really enjoying the story. I also have bubbly Schnitzel. I was wondering, if there are any plans to make Sketchy Tacos available in audio? Would love to read that one also. Maria Australia.
Meg D. Gonzalez Hi Maria! I'm so glad you enjoyed Salty Crisps. Sketchy Tacos was in production, but then the narrator backed out part way through. To my knowledge, my publishing house is not currently pursing re-recording. It's a bummer! But luckily each book can be read as a stand-alone, so you can at least enjoy the books that are out there.

How do you deal with writer’s block?
Meg D. Gonzalez I don't really believe in writer's block. But I do believe in creative exhaustion--especially during outlining, where you're creating the entire story in condensed form. Then I'll take a break for an hour or maybe a day, get some exercise, do something I find enjoyable but not taxing, and sit back down to tackle the problem again. Often a short break will lend you the perspective you need.

How do you get inspired to write?
Meg D. Gonzalez I find writing has little to do with inspiration. It has to do with sitting yourself in front of the computer every day and typing away faithfully. I do find this task a lot easier and more fun when I'm better rested, so I try to get plenty of sleep!
