Victoria Laurie
I get asked this question a lot, and the truth is that I've never had writer's block, however, I do accept that it's a very real thing for many talented writers out there. I think writer's block is brought on by fear. It's the fear of writing something that is less than your best, or that might take you in a direction you hadn't wanted to go in. I have zero fear about either of those things, because most of the most clever plot twists I've created have come to me in moments when I'm just writing by the seat of my pants. And if I write a scene or a chapter that sucks, well, the delete button becomes my best friend. I can always write more, and I can always tweak a scene to make it work. If you can let go of the fear, you'll never get creatively blocked.

Hi I am going to presume Ghoul's Guide to Love and Murder is the last of this series? I believe you did a good job and closing this up with M.J. and Heath getting married on their vacation and also expecting a little girl. In the meantime Gilley and Michael getting married as well. You have Oruc and all the worst case ghost chasing them as they try to find the missing artifact. Are you planning on a new series?

I'm only about half way through the Abby Cooper series, but I'm really enjoying it. Thank you for writing it. I have to wonder if Abby will ever encounter an anti-psychic? Either a person or a thing that counters her abilities? It would be fun to see her have to rely on her other abilities and friends in the absence of her super-power. To see her be special even without her special ability.
