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

Prissy wrote: "Hey Mrs. Houck. Thank you so much for the invite!!!! I was wondering if there was a release date for Tigers Dream yet...."

No release date yet.

The movie is in the works. Nothing new to report there. June 1st is the pub date of the novella Tiger's Promise. Fall 2015 is my next book, the untitled Egypt book one.

If I could be anyone I think it would be easiest to be Nilima. I think I'm most like her. Her and Jennifer anyway. Kelsey gets into too many dangerous situations for my comfort but kissing Ren and Kishan would be a nice benefit.

It's still in the screenwriting phase.

My question is what religion is Ren, kishan and Kelsey?"

Kelsey was raised Christian but not really practicing. Ren and Kishan were raised with a couple of different religions since their father was Indian and their mother Tibetan. Their parents encouraged them to find their own path.

You're welcome and it's hard to explain the thought process. I brainstorm a lot before starting a project and then just see where the characters take me.

No news on the movie and check the thread for the another to your first question.

Tiger's Promise will be released June 1st 2014 and my next book will be the one on Egypt, not yet titled. It will release fall of 2015.

Welcome to the group! The thought occurred to me that you all might need a place to ask me questions since the other threads are specific to other authors. Leave any comments or questions you might have that are specific to me in this thread only.

Thanks so much to Stacey Kade for hanging out with us on Goodreads today! She's just an all around great person and I'm excited to be able to hang out with her in the real world in a few weeks at the Romantic Times conference! We'll have her back for another chat soon =)

Linda from Facebook wanted to say I loved the lines, "I really liked the part when you said, 'I could hear the bitterness and the disdain curling the edges of her words.' and also the quote of advice that Zane's mother gave him. 'He's not a bad person, he just doesn't know how to be okay with who he is, where he's from and sometimes we remind him of everything he's trying to forget.'"

Linda from Facebook asks, "Did any of those bullying experiences happen to you? Have you ever experienced bullying?"

Linda from facebook asks, "Is Zane's or Arianne's perspective easier to write?"

How many books do you expect for the Project Paper Dolls series?

So what's new on the Stacey Kade radar? Are you plotting out a new series yet?

Stacey wrote: "Oooh, Kirk (Shatner) was also one of my first crushes. He was just so devil-may-care. And I like the Pine incarnation too"

I actually like all the captains but Spock is my favorite character. Love him!

Stacey wrote: "Colleen wrote: "So since you like Sci-Fi would you perhaps, maybe, be a Trekkie?"

Oh, yes..."

The the follow up question would be. Which captain is your favorite?

Stacey wrote: "I think readers feel more comfortable with the guy being the alien versus the girl."

I think that's true. Your story is the only one I've read so far where the alien is the heroine not the hero.

Stacey wrote:"The other one forced me to dive deeper into emotions, which was harder."

Which is which? ;)

So since you like Sci-Fi would you perhaps, maybe, be a Trekkie?
