FAQ
**Note: These are authentic questions from readers**
Q: Does Dominic ever get a real girlfriend?
A: "Ever" is a very long time. And who's to say that he doesn't end up with Kara? Nothing is set in stone. I haven't planned that far ahead yet. I don't have an answer one way or the other. I sure hope he ends up with a girlfriend as he is such a caring person.
Q: Have you decided if Kara is going to convert?
A: Yes, I have decided. I won't directly answer this one. What do you think?!
Q: Will Kara keep her special mental abilities if or when she converts?
A: Can't say.
Q: Could the werewolf curse/virus cause the lack of children?
A: Yes. The answer is a bit involved & will be talked about in Book Two.
Q: If the original witches that cursed the werewolves in the first place were to die, are the werewolves then "cured"?
A: No. The original witches have already died. For example, Daniel is 342 werewolf years old. Those witches were not immortal & died normal deaths.
Q: (I've reworded this question) Do the werewolves continue on as if time has frozen them in a certain age and a play button has been pressed?
A: Yes, more or less. Daniel & the majority of his pack were turned into werewolves while they were all around the ages of 18 – 27, give or take. Their physical appearance will never look older than about 30. The ones that were BORN into werewolves, will grow into adults & again, won't physically look older than 30. Now, if someone is 50 years old & gets turned into a werewolf, he reverts BACK to his prime – about 30 years old & stays that way…which you might think is a blessing, but there would still be repercussions to deal with.
Q: Do the werewolves want to go back to their original selves…in other words…if given the chance, do they want the curse lifted and become human again?
A: Hmmm…this has not been addressed yet. I'm sure there would be some that would want to live normal lives, but most have been werewolves for so, so long that this is all they know. This is their life. And, of course, we have the ones that were born werewolves and they do not know any other way of living. There's the possibility that the curse cannot ever be lifted, either.
Q: If a werewolf turns/converts/bites someone, how is that particular person effected?
A: That new werewolf has all the exact traits & similarities as the original werewolf.
Q: --I received numerous questions about the vampire, Josiah…--
A: Sorry, but I have chosen not to answer any of those questions at this time. I feel in doing so it would weaken the impact and thrill of learning the vampire traits while a person reads about them in an upcoming novel. I kept trying to come up with a way to answer some of the questions, but I sensed the anticipation would be ruined for future stories. Not only that, but I don't have all the answers until I dive further into the storyline.
Q: How come none of the villagers question why the adult werewolves never age (which the villagers don't know they are werewolves)?
A: That will be answered in Book Two. I'll just say the werewolves get a little help from some allies with this one.
Q: Do the werewolves have souls?
A: I am definitely staying away from the religious side of this! But, to give a basic answer (my personal feelings) - "yes, they do have souls" and I'll leave it at that. At NO time during the series will I attempt exploring religion and try to tie it in with any of the paranormal, supernatural events or characters. Opinions on religion and souls are a delicate, controversial subject.
Q: On the cover of the book, what is the reflection in the wolf's eye?
A: The reflection could be considered a type of metaphor. The wolf would be Stephen. What you're seeing is a fence in the reflection. Stephen felt "caged, fenced, trapped" during most of the book. He didn't want to conform to Daniel's civil way of life. He threatened society and risked exposure of the werewolves.
Q. How many books will there be in the series?
A. Five. Each will have the word "Unknown" in the title followed by one of the five senses. The first book is "touch". The remaining would be (& I may change the order of these): scent, taste, sound and sight. Pretty neat, huh?
