Q. Have you ever wanted a villain to win at the end of a story? If so, which one??

While I like rooting for the good guys, there are few things I love more than a good bad guy. That said, I can't remember ever wanting a villain to win. Antiheroes and villains evolve to be heroes on the other hand, those I happily root for - like Devlen and Valek in Maria V. Snyder's Glass and Study trilogies.

“Many of us primarily read one genre of books, with others sprinkled in. If authors stopped writing that genre, what genre would you start reading? Or would you give up reading completely if you couldn’t read that genre anymore?”

I tend to bounce around between different genres so there isn't one that I primarily read....there are four: paranormal romance, urban fantasy, young adult and cozy mysteries. If they all stopped being written, I'd probably switch to a mix of contemporary romance, romantic suspense and crime. But then there's always the option to reread old favourites :)

Q. If you could change the ending of any book (or series), which book would you choose? Why and to what?

To be honest, I can't think of a single book or series where I actively want to change the ending. There have been books where I didn't like the ending or ended up shrieking in frustration at a massive cliffhanger, but I wouldn't change them. Usually those cliffhangers come part way through a series, more commonly in trilogies, and just help to develop the long term story arc. However if I know a book has a cliffhanger, I'll wait until the next is available before reading.

“What are you most looking forward to this fall/autumn season – A particular book release? Halloween? The leaves changing color? Cooler temperatures? A vacation? (If your next season is other than fall/autumn, tell us about it and what you are most looking forward to in your part of the world!)”

Umm, all of the above? I love autumn! The leaves falling, the cooler temperatures (I'm not a summer girl), snuggly clothes., halloween..autumn is almost as awesome as winter. Also I have an extra bonus - I'm visiting Glastonbury in a couple of weeks which I'm super excited about :)

Q. In books like the Sookie Stackhouse (True Blood) series the paranormal creature in question "comes out of the closet" and makes itself known to the world. Which mythical creature do you wish would come out of the closet, for real?

Selkies :) I loved any story about them as a kid, and then Virginia Kantra's Children of the Sea series brought it all back. Seals are super cute, and I love anything to do with the ocean so selkies are a win win. Plus have you seen those covers? Total man candy!

"Non-book-related this week!! Do you have pets?"

At the moment I don't have any pets. I'd like to get a dog though, preferably a little rescue one. Is it possible to walk in with a copy of Garfield and ask for an Odie?
