Okay we seriously need to schedule a HSM party.

I, too, have an animal in my book that doesn't ever speak but she just feels like a complete character to me. You must be an animal lover since you have them in both series. Do you have any pets?

Which is different from your Dark Divine trilogy right? That was mostly in Grace's perspective if I remember correctly.

Bree wrote: "When I was in college I worked as a special needs nanny for a handicapped boy. He just graduated high school yesterday (in his 20s) and I am so proud! "

In my other life I worked with people with disabilities as well. We have that in common!

Yay! Virtual hot cocoa and cookies for everyone.

I am also fond of the hellcat. ;)

I was fascinated by the teacher's perspective on the Rape of Persephone. How many different versions of the story did you end up reading for your research?

Tobin reminds me of Ryan from High School Musical. I watch Switched at Birth now and the same actor plays a character named Toby now. Any connection? I can't help picturing him mostly due to the hats. =)

Is there really a thing where you sing together and it connects two people?

What genre of books is your favorite to read?

What is the Cursed One exactly and what creature inspired or most closely resembles it?

Who inspired your villain?

What made you want to tell the story from different perspectives and how do you balance that as a writer?

Can you share with us the significance of the talon ring or do we need to keep reading to find out?

Would you say your world is a dystopian Earth or does it more closely resemble another world?

Is the disorder to hear music in everyday things real or is it something you made up?

Perfect!

Yes there will be. In the meantime there is a novella you can check out next week!
