JT asked Merry Farmer:

Torpedo? What inspired you to name your cat Torpedo?

Merry Farmer Hi JT! Well, there are actually two reasons he got that name. One is because he was born in 2004, during the Athens Olympics, and he was named after swimmer Ian Thorpe, the "Thorpedo." His sister was named Butterfly after Michael Phelps, who won the 400m Butterfly the day they were born. But the other reason is because Torpedo's mom crawled up into my lap when she was in labor, and Torpedo shot right out of her, like a torpedo, and into my hands. ... It was really messy. I don't recommend ever doing that! *LOL*

I'm currently reading Summer with a Star and enjoying it very much. Just curious - you mention a movie title in it called 'She Walks in Beauty'. Did you name it from the Byron poem or from something else? I like to know these obscure little facts! Cheers, Caz

I have just finished The Brotherhood: Origins series and am about to write reviews but I am getting very forgetful in my old age and would like to ask you in what series and in which book did Perdition first appear? I have researched your M/M series and just can't find it, can you remind me? Thx!

Random but I always think your books are titled Merry Farmer since that's in such large print on every cover haha and for the longest time I thought there was a Merry Farmer series omg. What is the reasoning behind your name being in larger font than the title of the book?
