    We haven’t done one of those for a while and the questions have been piling up. E asks: But, I also have a question- often, book covers have a “review snippet” from another author.  For instance, { “I stayed up all night reading it!” – Nan Harrison} or something similar. Are authors paid to do…

    question

    D. asks: I thought Kate was twenty five at the start of Magic Bites? Nope.  Check page 6: “In a few weeks you’ll turn twenty five.” To be able to set the birthday story sometime before Magic Strikes, I cheated a bit and interpreted that “few weeks” as several months.  That said, I’m not really…
