Author to Author Questions: The authors have posted the following questions for the other featured authors to answer in the chat area below. Authors please use an @ symbol in front of the name, for example @Dru.
Suzanne: Imagine a prison of eternal misery. Is it hot or cold? Tell me about it. Randy: If you were to write a time travel story, what period/location would you travel to? Dru: What’s the most surprising thing one of your characters has done that you hadn’t originally planned to happen? Michael: How much to you plan out what you’re going to write and how much just comes out as you’re doing the deed. Donna Glee: I need a REALLY good story, a real knock-you-to-your knees story, right now. (And I say story to include all forms.) Can you help me out with a recommendation? Adrian: Have you had to make any compromises in your life in order to write, for example, how has writing affected your day job, or how did it if you have become a full time writer? How influenced are you by what you read, or watch, or listen to? (especially if you are in the process of writing a book?)

Suzanne: Are you a member of a book club? If so, how do your members react to speculative fiction? Randy: What kind of book would you like to see more of? Either genre or thematically? Dru: What Fantasy/horror/sci-fi novel inspired you most as a child, and why? Michael: What is the best question anyone has asked you? Donna Glee: Who do you talk to about the books you read?
