Liz W
Liz W asked Sylvia Day:

How did you learn to write dialogue that seems like you're in the room listening to real people talking and not reading a book?

Sylvia Day The characters are talking; I'm just transcribing.

Priscillia asked Sylvia Day:

Hello ! I would like to know how you know that a story is good enough to become an actual book ? Because I think when you're writing one, you like it but how do you know people will like it ? .A huge fan from France :)

Samantha March
Samantha March asked Sylvia Day:

When is the new book "one with you" due out? (Crossfire books) as i.ve just read all the other books and i'm really looking forward to this book coming out.

Sue
Sue asked Sylvia Day:

Honestly I cant wait for the day any of your books would come to life in a movie! I love being able to read a book and have a certain vision of the characters and the story and then see it on screen. I am obsessed with the Cross Series, I have read #1, #2, #3 and ready to the 4th I bought. Any more updates on if and when the movie would start production?
