K.L. Hawker is an Amazon Bestseller and the Canadian author of two young adult fiction book series, The Branded Trilogy and The Dream Keeper Series.

Fun Fact: Hawker's young adult series, The Branded Trilogy, was originally written for her teenage son who was not at all interested in reading anything but sports scores. Hawker set out to write an easy-to-read, dialogue-filled, action-packed novel that would engage him from beginning to end. The result was a trilogy that he read in just three days--a moment that defined success for Hawker. Now K.L. Hawker enjoys sharing her passion and dreams with readers from around the world.

Life gets busy and starts to dampen your creativity, and the next thing you know, you're sitting down to write and all you can do is stare at the screen. Nothing. Blank. When I get writer's block, I do two things. I turn my phone off or put it in another room (the distraction is real). Then I go back and read my previous book (or previous chapters). This almost always gets the creative juices flowing again.(less)
