The Librarian from the Black Lagoon Read online

  What do you think of when you think of librarians? Which movie or book librarians come to mind? Alcatraz and the Evil Librarians...? The Mummy...? (The other remake starring Brendan Fraser and Rachel Weisz, not the new one with Tom Cruise, I mean.)

  3

  Would you have accepted the paranormal world as well as Joan did? What other questions would you have had for Walter?

  4

  Did you agree with Larry that the best place for a librarian is in a room with bookcases filled with books line the walls? Walter’s den is an amazing place for someone who loves books.

  If you got the same spell from Triani that Joan did, what is the worst smell (besides an outhouse) that you could think of smelling like?

  About the Author

  Heather Horrocks is the USA Today bestselling author of numerous books (Moonchuckle Bay paranormal romances, Chick Flick Clique and Christmas Street romantic comedies, a novel in the unprecedented American Mail-Order Bride series and Rocky Mountain Romance series, Who-Dun-Him Inn and Bad Mothers Club cozy mysteries, and Women Who Knew inspirational books) plus an upcoming series for writers, sharing her unique character interview and amazing book-in-a-day system developed by plotting over eighty books with Diane Darcy, each in one day. She is also the founder of Word Garden Press, a niche publisher of PG-rated fiction and non-fiction. She’s currently working with a talented screenwriter/producer on the first book in her Christmas Street series, Bah, Humbug!

  Raised overseas for her first seventeen years, she hid under the bed with her mother during a South American coup, waterskied through an oil slick in the Persian Gulf, partied with a Kuwaiti princess classmate, flew in and out of the blacked-out Cairo airport mere moments before it was bombed during the Six Day War, rode a camel (and ate a camel steak), crossed the finish line first at Utah's Miller Motorsports Park—and walked on hot coals—without getting burned!—at a firewalk workshop!

  She loves anyone who can make her laugh, which explains why she adores her witty husband, her funny friends and sisters, Anne George mysteries and Molly Harper romances, and her cute little dog Gus. She loves to cook for friends, siblings, and especially her children and their families. She and her husband reside in Utah. You can find her online at www.BooksByHeatherHorrocks.com.
