How do you deal with writer’s block?
Karen Kelly Boyce I have never had writer's block. I usually have too many ideas rolling around in my head and not enough time to write all that I want. When I get stuck with the next twist in a plot or the next move of a character, I think about it before I go to sleep and I usually wake up with the answer.

What’s your advice for aspiring writers?
Karen Kelly Boyce Write every day, even if it just a paragraph. Join a few writing groups. There is something about needing something to share that sparks inspiration. I didn't start writing until I was 52. It is never too late. Never give up.

What are you currently working on?
Karen Kelly Boyce I am currently working on three books. I always work on more than one at a time. I am writing the fifth of my 'rosary' series which is about a five members of a Bible study and how their lives intertwine. I am also writing my fourth of my "Sisters of the Last Straw" children's series. I have also started the first of my new murder mystery series.

Where did you get the idea for your most recent book?
Karen Kelly Boyce My most recent book is "In the Midst of Wolves" which is an adult novel due out in a few weeks. I based the idea on the Bible verse from Matt. 10: 16 "Behold, I am sending you like sheep in the midst of wolves; be as shrewd as serpents and simple as doves." How do the good deal with the evil? How do we live with those who are of a 'different' spirit? It is a novel that explores how the pure-hearted live with those who are not.
