A Goodreads user asked B.A. Paris:

Did you always want to be a writer? How did you find the courage to write and the publish? I read Behind Closed Doors and absolutely loved the story. I think the story told was important as well. (I actually bought Bring Me Back to read too). Thank you for reading/answering my questions and writing the books.

B.A. Paris Hi Brittany,
Thank you for your message and apologies for my late reply. Thank you for reading Behind Closed Doors, I'm glad you enjoyed it. I hope you enjoy Bring Me Back too!
In answer to your question, yes, I always wanted to be a writer. When I first started writing, I didn't want to be published, I was just writing for me. Then I decided to try and get published and even though I knew it would be hard and that I would get rejections, I thought that at least I would have tried. As someone once said 'It's better to try, and fail, than never to have tried at all.'
I'm so glad I did try!
With best wishes
