Colleen’s comments from the Colleen Houck Book Club group.

I love, love your steampunk series. I also love your wolves. They are so different. Was it hard moving to an entirely different world?

Thanks for joining the chat! The winner is Megan! Don't forget to join the chat next month.

Thank so much to Alwyn and to all who asked those amazing questions! The winner of the chat is Hope! Don't forget to join the chat next month when my featured author will be Andrea Cremer!

Woah. Color me intrigued!

It changes all the time and I definitely want people to fancast who they ..."

I love Avan!

All formal review/reading requests need to go through my agent, Robert Gottlieb at Trident Media Group, though if you just want to tell me about it, I might pick it up on my own for personal reading. The Egyptian series has three novels and one novella. I consider it fantasy/romance. Sort of like The Mummy meets Twilight with a lioness and a fairy thrown in. Oh and a giant spider, crocodiles, hippos...etc. ;)

Where has been your favorite place to tour?

Do you write at home or out and about?

Any must haves when you write?

Who are your favorite heroines?

Also are you writing a sequel for Click'd?

Is Click'd YA or Middle Grade? It reads like a YA but the characters are middle grade so I wasn't sure.

Do you have a favorite city or bookstore you've toured before?

I'm glad you recommended The Hate U Give audiobook. I'm a huge audiobook listener right now. I love reading but I can't keep up without audiobooks. Do you have a fav audiobook?

I always loved Somewhere in Time too. I've never seen Donnie Darko though. I'll have to look that one up. Hiro is one of my favorite characters. Love him! I really wish Lost had been able to fix all the problems it had. Too bad the writer's strike happened when it did. That show had a lot of potential. What do you think about the new Doctor?

With a marketing communication background, you must be really good at marketing yourself or is that something different? Do you have any book marketing hints that have worked well for you?

Any must haves while you write?

What types of books do you like to read?

How did you get started writing?

Welcome to the group! Tamara will be answering questions in August 2018 in this thread only. In the meantime if you have a question for the author or just want to introduce yourself feel free to do so in this thread.
