Meliss
Meliss asked Tami Hoag:

When you are writing a book, do you know the end before you begin?

Tami Hoag Not usually, and if I think I do, it will change five times before it get to it. I often don't know how a book will end until I get to the end.

Randy Mahar
Randy Mahar asked Tami Hoag:

Which is more satisfying as an author, writing the book and having a loyal reader base, or being so good, that TV picks up your characters for a show?

Sharon
Sharon asked Tami Hoag:

Did you always want to be a writer, or did you have a dream as a child to be something else (I wanted to be an Olympic figure skater, for instance)?

Cameron Wiggins
Cameron Wiggins asked Tami Hoag:

Hello Tami. Can we expect anymore of the Liska and Kovac series? I have to admit that I did not really care for their chemistry or characters in book one. However, you developed their characters wonderfully and subtly. I love them and their series. I think that you have really stepped it up on your writing. Best Regards, Cameron
