Each month, Lovers of Paranormal contacts the authors whose books have been selected as LoP Group Reads and invites them to help group members get to know them, and their stories, a little better to enhance the reading experience.

(Whether or not they reply to our inquiries ... that's an entirely different matter ... but some do and we are always grateful when they answer :-)

We have come up with some questions that hopefully are ones LoP Group Members would enjoy having answered, but as this is a Reader-Oriented community, we are always curious about what questions YOU have?

The questions we currently used are listed below. If you have suggestions for additional or different questions, please drop your ideas into the thread below.

3. Tell us about your Lovers of Paranormal book?

4. We all need a hero! Tell us about your protagonist(s)? Was there a real-life inspiration behind him or her?

Kitty Muse Book Reviews | 2 comments I have been seriously remiss in keeping track of what is going on in this group. My apologies. A full-time job, editing, and book reviewing have all kept me from perusing this group's conversations. Now that I have a book to market, I will try to stay up-to-date with what is going on here. Sounds selfish, I know--but there are only so many hours in a day. Let me know if I can help ANY of you in any way.

Excellent questions. jAs a paranormal author, I found they surely gave time to reflect on the book creation.

Referring to your offer of help, a review is always appreciated by any of us, I'm sure ... if that request is allowed. My paranormal entry novel in the series still needs some.
