DAKOTA’s QUICKIES

full moon or no moon? Um, both? wait, full moon. I’m old. It’s easier to see. J

favorite super power? Invisibility. Imagine the shoes I could own from Prada alone!

blood moon or blue moon? So many moons. Which color moon do you think would be easier to help you see where you’re going? Whichever that one is, that’s the one I choose. J

What shade of midnight is the WITCHED AT BIRTH?

DAKOTA: Oh, definitely hot pink.

Without spoilers, can you share with readers your favorite scene in WITCHED AT BIRTH?

What's your favorite MIDNIGHT experience?

DAKOTA: Sleeping. Because again, OLD here. LOL!

RACHEL's QUICKIES

full moon or no moon? No moon – better for stargazing.

favorite super power? Being able to produce a meal with multiple side dishes/sauces where everything is done at the same time. I’m convinced this is a superpower that can only be achieved by making a deal with the devil.

blood moon or blue moon? Blood moon.

What shade of midnight is the MIDNIGHT SUN?

RACHEL: Burnt Sienna

Without spoilers, can you share with readers your favorite scene in MIDNIGHT SUN?

RACHEL:When Sienna and Rhys dance right before midnight at the Midnight Sun festival.

What's your favorite MIDNIGHT experience?

RACHEL: Ten years ago, a dear friend called me at around 11:00 pm and told me her labor had started. We knew her labor would be short (4^th child), and she’d planned a home birth, so I raced to her house, arriving not long before the two midwives. I was actually in the (very large) bathtub with her, holding her shoulders through her last contractions. Right after the baby was born, I jumped out of the tub to get out of the way… and happened to check the clock and noted the time: 11:58. Because they were busy with mother and baby, the midwives didn’t note the time until several minutes later. If I hadn’t checked, the sweet little guy would’ve had the wrong birthday.

LILIANA's QUICKIES

full moon or no moon? Definitely a full moon, otherwise I'd trip over my own feet in the dark.

favorite super power? Mind reading. I'm nosy (just part of being a writer), so it'd save a lot of guessing time to know what everyone is thinking.

blood moon or blue moon? Blood moon

What shade of midnight is THE WITCH NEXT DOOR?

LILIANA: Indigo

Without spoilers, can you share with readers your favorite scene in THE WITCH NEXT DOOR?

LILIANA: When they...umm...you know.

What's your favorite MIDNIGHT experience?

LILIANA: I'm usually working at midnight, but sometimes I'll get in the car in my pajamas and drive to town to grab a chocolate shake. Does that count?

TRISH’s QUICKIES

full moon or no moon? Full Moon

favorite super power? Ability to Heal

TRISH: Deep Vibrant Purple

Without spoilers, can you share with readers your favorite scene in SPIRIT WOODS?

What's your favorite MIDNIGHT experience?

TRISH: That would be a night 10 years ago. Luna, my then five month old golden retriever puppy, woke me at midnight, or soon after, by frantically barking and pawing at me. When I awoke I found Bette, my eleven year old golden retriever, in anaphylactic shock . Luna woke me up early enough to administer the meds necessary to save Bette’s life.
