B.A. Paris answered sophie♫♪ ﾟ.⋆｡ ₊ ﾟ's question: Which one of the books you've written is your personal favourite? Thank you for your question! My favourite book is Behind Closed Doors because it was the book that changed my life. I never thought it would be published, so I wasn’t under any pressure to write it for anyone but myself.

B.A. Paris answered Dawn's question: I don't have a question? Just wanted to let you know that it is so refreshing to read a thriller, by a secular author, who does not use foul language! THANK YOU! I will be reading more of your books! Thank you very much, I’m glad you appreciate my restraint!

Quotes by B.A. Paris (?)

“We go downstairs and in the hall, he takes my coat from the cupboard and holds it open while I slip my arms into it. In the drive outside, he holds the car door for me and waits until I’m in. As he closes it behind me, I can’t help thinking it’s a shame he’s such a sadistic bastard, because he has wonderful manners.”
― B.A. Paris, Behind Closed Doors

“I don't suppose I could have a whiskey instead of the wine, could I?"
"Whiskey?"
"Yes"
"I didn't know you drank whiskey."
"And I didn't know you were a psychopath. Just bring me a whiskey”
― B.A. Paris, Behind Closed Doors

“I cry even harder, thinking of how it could have been, of how I thought it would be. For the first time, I want to give up, to die, because suddenly everything is too much and there is no solution in sight.”
― B.A. Paris, Behind Closed Doors
