That's odd. It SHOULD be available, and all my other books are still there... I see that it's also still available on Kobo, so it's not like I have an evil second personality who surfaces from time to time and deregisters my books. Anyway, I've started an investigation with Amazon, but that doesn't help you now. If you contact me through my web site (creativityhacker.ca) I may be able to hook you up a different way.

I don't believe in writer's block. When I find myself struggling for how to continue a story, it's ALWAYS because I've lost touch with the character's needs and ambitions. And the solution is ALWAYS to back up, figure out where I deviated from keeping faith with my characters, and rewrite from there.

I'm a full-time writer, so I don't really think in terms of needing inspiration to motivate my writing. On the other hand, I'm a puzzle nut and to me, writing is a series of puzzles. How to create the most engaging experiences - the ones worth reading about - while remaining true to the characters, and to whatever plot lines have been established earlier in the book? So in that sense, each scene is its own inspiration, and its own reward.
