I have never been notified of an error, but I'm not sure anyone has reported any to Kindle (I've gotten lots of direct messages with typos). I'd be happy to experiment - if you find a typo in my book, report it and I'll let you know what happens! (I'm sure there are still typos, though I've fixed many already). I don't have one to suggest, though.(less)

More seriously, I find that if I have writer's block, it's because something in my plot or character arcs has pushed me into a stale dead end. If I re-evaluate the scenes before the blocking point I can usually figure out how I wrote myself into a corner and resolve the issue.(less)

Wistful Ascending by J.C.M. Berne
"A masterful blend of action-adventure and cozy sci-fi.
