It’s Day 3 of Q&A with Colleen Houck!  We asked Colleen a questions about her Tiger Series, and we also want to hear from you… So, please answer our question for you in the comments below!

 

What animal would you choose to be cursed as?

 

Colleen: If I had to be an animal it would be a housecat. Cats are a bit spoiled and like to take naps. That would be a nice life I think.

Day 2: We want to know…Who is your favorite character?

It’s Day 2 of Q&A with Colleen Houck!  We asked Colleen a questions about her Tiger Series, and we also want to hear from you… So, please answer our question for you in the comments below!

Who is your favorite character in the Tiger Series? Why?

Colleen: My favorite creation is Fanindra but character I’d have to say Mr. Kadam. When people ask me to describe him, I say that he’s one half Mr. Spock and the other half is Mr. Roarke from Fantasy Island. There is something fantastical and magical about him and I always feel like he knows more than he’s saying.

Don’t forget to tell us who your favorite character is, and why, below!

We want to know…

We are debuting TheTigerSeries.com with a week’s worth of Q&A with Colleen Houck!  Each day we will post a new question and answer from Colleen about the Tiger Series.  We also want to hear from you… So, please answer our question for you in the comments below!

What’s the story behind your story? What sparked the idea for the Tiger Series?

Colleen: When I sat down to actually plot out my series, I knew I wanted to do a take on the story of Beauty and the Beast. The beast is a sort of tragic hero and was a much more fleshed out character than the other handsome princes in fairy tales. Next, I brainstormed beasts. Immediately I rejected the idea of a vampire or a werewolf and focused on animals. I played with the idea of a bird for a while, then a bear, but ultimately settled on a white tiger. Researching the animal led me to India and the story of Durga riding a tiger into battle. An idea took hold and the whole story began to knit together.

 

To our readers, we ask:  Who introduced you to the Tiger Series? What ultimately convinced you to read it?
