Q&A with Marita A. Hansen discussion

A place where you can discuss anything about this book.

First topic: Kara versus Beth. Who do you favour?

Or even Jade versus Beth versus Kara :)

Who do you think should end up with Dante? Or do you think none of them are suited to him.

Are you angry with Dante by the end of the book? Or do you think it's for the best?

In the next book, Behind the Secrets, you will discover why he has turned out the way he is, something I originally wrote about in Graffiti Heaven, but took it out. Though, I've kept it at the back of my mind, and Behind the Secrets is the right time to reveal it, along with his other secrets.

Chaz didn't die for a reason.

I have my suspicions that Dante was abused too, but I was still fed up with him by the end of the book.

As far as who's better for Dante? None of them, especially if he has been abused because Kara, Jade, and even Beth, are just as messed up sexually. Dante needs to find someone completely new - maybe date his therapist!

After reading the blurb for Behind the Secrets, it looks that way, that is Dante being abused. He is pretty f*&ked up, so it makes sense. I really want that book even more now, because I want to know the secrets! Although that one about his grandmother, that was definitely a wowzer. That's the thing with these books, they throw things at you without you even seeing it coming. Thanks for writing them.

P.S. I thought he was more suited to Kara, but like Lorrie said, if he's been abused maybe she isn't right for him after all. I really don't think Beth is right for him, and although I would love for him to go with Jade, he isn't right either. In the book a third love was mentioned. Is it Tiana's best friend from Graffiti Heaven? I'm not sure about that because I think that girl like Joel. Who is it then?!

Thanks, Harlen, and sorry, I can't tell you who the third woman is, unfortunately you'll have to wait until the following books come out. Nothing is decided yet, though the girl who got her faced carved up by Mack will be coming into the stories. Whether she is the third woman, I can't tell you, because even I don't know! I won't find out until I write the book. Either way, I have no idea who Dante ends up with, because I didn't even plan on that ending for Behind the Lens, it just happened.

Not his therapist :) because she reminds him of his mother.
