YES!!! I am writing it now, and I had some super exciting ideas that woke me up at three in the morning two days ago! (That’s how I know ..."

I love it when that happens. I get have very vivid dreams too. I think my brain is writing when I'm asleep. Sometimes I wake up with a desperate need to put the characters I dreamed about on paper.

I find listening to music distracting too. Do you have a favorite Dracula movie? Dracula is one of my all time favorite stories/character.

I just read The Giver for the first time and really liked it. Did you see the movie? What did you think of the adaptation?

Diet Rootbeer is one my favorite beverages too. It feels indulgent.

I tried one Dr. Who so far. I think I need to start at the beginning. Not sure I get it yet.

That's a lot of books =)

Did I tell you all about the amazing prize being given away tonight?

Whoo hoo! The live chat with Aprilynne Pike starts right now!

Also did you ever steal anything like Kimberlee? ;)

Can I also ask a Life After Left question? So what made you want to write from the boy's perspective. I love his voice. It feels so real!

Welcome to the group! Kady will be answering questions on Thursday, Oct 29th, 2015 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.

Reading the oracles book now. How did you come up with the idea for that one? I love the dark edge.

So an earthbound only has seven cycles to find their mate right? If they don't they die permanently? Can you tell us how that works?

Will there be a book three in the series?

Dialogue can be tricky. When I finish a chapter, my husband reads it out loud to me so I can hear what it sounds like. That way I can tell if the the dialogue sounds right.

Thank you! And, yes, Tiger's Dream is on the back burner right now. I've written about a third of it so far.

Oh I echo that one. I'd love to see a novella from the Wings series.

Glad to have you. Still not sure when Dream will be published.

Where on earth did you get the idea for earthbounds? It's such a unique idea. I love it!

Hunky, warrior, hunter... or baker? #nocontest"

Still, there is something to be said for a man who can bake you fresh bread and cinnamon rolls.

I'd love to visit Dubai. There are so many beautiful places in the world and I've written about more of them than I've seen. =)
