Excellent question, Cynthia Murphy! My favourite author friend is R.L.Stine.

Excellent question, Josh Winning! So many to choose from but in my current mood I'm going to say Tabula Rasa because it's so funny but has a hugely emotional finale, and Conversations With Dead People because of the way it explores each character's vulnerability.

Excellent question, Kat Ellis! So, I'd probably kiss Spike 'cos I bet he's a good kisser, marry Giles so we could discuss cataloguing, and kill Willow because of some of the wardrobe choices.

Excellent question, Kathryn Foxfield! Have you seen Charles Leclerc? Imagine the devastation of that face, but vampire. 

Excellent question, Dawn Kurtagich! My ultimate Tim would be somewhere between Frank-N-Furter from Rocky Horror Picture Show, Rooster from Annie, and Wadsworth from Clue.

Excellent question, Kathy from work! I started writing when my job was at risk and thought it would be a good way to make my millions, LOL! I signed up for a YA fiction course and really enjoyed the process of writing a book. That was over ten years ago and I've written lots of books, most of which got rejected. Luckily, my self-esteem is like Kevlar to rejection so I just kept going.*

*Not true. I did keep going, but because I'm stubborn.
