I have asked some authors to answer my Valentine's themed questionnaire. The lovely Kathleen Peacock, whose novel Hemlock will be released May 8, was kind enough to answer.
She's told me some of her selections are not appropriate for younger audiences, so please use your discretion if you chose to look them up!
You can learn more about her and her book by visiting her website. Her novel Hemlock can be added on Goodreads and it sounds amazing!

Yes to so many of these! But especially to Cameron & Dulcie, The Doctor and Rose, and TFiOS. That book should really come with a warning. And tissues.
