Jackie asked B.A. Paris:

The way in which you wrote your novel was extremely interesting. I loved the switch from the past to the present. How difficult was it for you to get into the knack of that writing style? Also, what made you choose that unique and intriguing perspective? Thank you!

B.A. Paris I'm glad you enjoyed the Past/Present concept! It was actually quite easy to write that way, it was refreshing to be able to switch between the two, especially if I had just written an intense scene. I can't remember why I chose to write that way, I think it just seemed the logical way to do it.

Robert Madden asked B.A. Paris:

Hi Ms Paris. I really like the non-linear narrative structure. The switching between present/past added to the drama. Was it your intention to present the story like that from the beginning? Or was this a decision made by the agent/publisher?

I just wanted to let you know that you are the reason I was awake until 2:30am this past Wednesday. I started reading BEHIND CLOSED DOORS and literally could not stop. Couldn't wait to turn the page to see what happened next. A most excellent work. Will you possibly follow up with a sequel telling us how Grace and Millie are doing and maybe let us know more about the special bond formed between Grace and Esther ?

A Goodreads user asked B.A. Paris:

I absolutely loved this novel! I honestly can't believe this is your first published book. It was incredible; I quite literally couldn't put it down (which sounds cliché, but is a 100% true for this epic plot line). I especially loved your writing style: the way information was introduced through the shifts from past to present. Masterfully crafted. Can we hope for another book anytime soon?
