Hi, Sandra,
Thank you for staying home and staying safe during these truly difficult times. Please keep doing it! Meanwhile, check your library's website. Many--maybe all--libraries are still lending e-books that can be downloaded to an e-reader, a phone, or your computer. The library's website should have instructions for borrowing e-books. Stay healthy!

That's a difficult question! I like them all... I often chose the simpler versions, but fudge icing is a nice plus. Sorry I missed your question for so long, Louie. Thank you for asking!

They're for adults. They're cozy mysteries--no profanity, gore, or sex. The sleuth is amateur in a place where nearly everyone knows everyone else. Sorry I didn't see your question sooner, Lisa. Thank you for asking.

Answer #1: For me, writer's block is usually caused by a snag in plotting. I put the problem into the back of my mind and go off and do something else. Sometimes the answer will come to me within a few hours. If it doesn't, it's time to sit at the computer and type ideas until one suits me. Then I try out a few more until I find something I really like.
Answer #2: Coffee.

For me, it's a dream come true. Creating worlds, discussing books and writing with other readers and writers . . .

Persevere. Find kind but honest critiquers and follow the advice that works best for you. And did I say persevere? And write because you love to write.

I'm working on the third Deputy Donut mystery. It features the Fallingbrook Fabulous Fourth Festivities.

I'm not sure I can help writing. And coffee helps.

The idea for the series came from a bakery in Clare, Michigan. When local police officers heard their favorite bakery was about to close, they bought it and called it Cops & Doughnuts. Who could resist buying sweet treats at bakery with that name? New franchises are popping up. BTW, their doughnuts are delicious...
My love of handcrafts gave me the basis for SURVIVAL OF THE FRITTERS.
And then I heard about donut walls, and knew I had to write a book involving a donut wall at a wedding, and that's how GOODBYE CRULLER WORLD came about...
