B.A. Paris Thank you for your question! My favourite book is Behind Closed Doors because it was the book that changed my life. I never thought it would be published, so I wasn’t under any pressure to write it for anyone but myself.

I don't have a question? Just wanted to let you know that it is so refreshing to read a thriller, by a secular author, who does not use foul language! THANK YOU! I will be reading more of your books!

B.A. Paris Thank you very much, I’m glad you appreciate my restraint!

I would love to get a pre release copy of your new book. I have been a fan since first reading behind closed doors. Accidently stumbled upon it at a store in an airport. Couldn't put it down. Your books are the ultimate page turner that always leaves me guessing. Could I please get a copy of your latest book coming soon. I wpuld love to wrote a review on here for it?

B.A. Paris Hi Jennifer, ARCs of any of my books are usually available on request via Netgalley in exchange for an honest review. These copies are avaliable in limited numbers and your request must be approved in order to receive one. Unfortunately, I’m not personally able to supply ARCs.

What did you put in "Behind Closed Doors" - when I'm reading it, I can't put it down and when I put it down and go do something else, I find myself unable to stop thinking about it! :) Do you have some advice for people who have a billion ideas that could be turned into thrillers but can't seem to write anything because they're always scared that the ideas just aren't good enough outside of their head?

B.A. Paris Hi Ivana, fear is your worst enemy! All authors have moments where they think their ideas aren’t good enough. If you have an idea, just start writing and see where it takes you. There’s that great saying: “It’s better to have tried and failed than not have tried at all."

Hi B.A., I came across When I Kill You on Goodreads and was immediately intrigued by the suspenseful premise—it promises a tense, gripping read. I’m curious: are you currently encouraging Goodreads reviews, or letting the book find its audience more organically for now? Best regards, Christine Shuff

B.A. Paris Hi Christine, not for the time being and all reviews are so far generated organically!

Hello there, just read behind closed doors and the book was absolutely nuts. I read it in just a few days and could not put it down. Any update on possibily being turned into a film?

B.A. Paris Hi Margaux,

I'm so sorry I missed your question coming in. I'm delighted you enjoyed Behind Closed Doors. Unfortunately, there are no plans for a movie at the moment but I've never lost hope that one day, it will be up there on the big screen!

Bets wishes

I have recently just read Behind closed door and absolutely loved it ! I was captivated from the beginning. Throughout the entire book I thought this would be a fantastic psychological thriller movie. Anything in the works in regards to a movie ? I'll be moving on to the therapist next. Great work

B.A. Paris Hi Kristy,

Thank you for your message, I'm thrilled you enjoyed Behind Closed Doors. Unfortunately, there are no plans for a movie at the moment but I live in hope!

With best wishes

So I finished "Behind Closed Doors" yesterday and it left me in shock. I really praise u for your writing it made me feel like I was standing in Grace's place trying to escape. Anyway, I plan to read more of your books and I was wondering if you were going on tour for ur new book in 2026. Hopefully you'll be able to come to Ontario, Canada??

B.A. Paris Hi Hanin,

Thank you for your message, I'm thrilled you enjoyed Behind Closed Doors. I don't have plans for a tour in 2026 yet, but I've always wanted to meet my Canadian readers so it's definitely on my list. If not 2026, then 2027!

which of your books is your favourite one? mine is the understudy or bring me back!!

B.A. Paris Hi again,

Lovely to know you enjoyed The Understudy and Bring Me Back.
My favourite is probably Behind Closed Doors because it was the book that changed my life. I also like The Dilemma, because it is more of a family drama.

have you ever thought of writing some books which are not thrillers or crime stories?? or why did you choose such a genre???

B.A. Paris Hi Patryca, yes, I would like to write family dramas one day, a little like my book The Dilemma, which wasn't really a thriller.

This question contains spoilers... (view spoiler)

B.A. Paris Hi Ruth,

Pierre is the name of Justine's partner. It indicates how the therapist tries to turn the women he is infatuated with against their partners. When it doesn't work, and they don't want to leave their partners, he kills them.

Hi, hope my message finds you well. I wanted to say that I loved reading your books, especially Behind Closed doors, the Breakdown and The therapist. I've also written a review of The Therapist in my blog post.https://inspiredlife4ever.wordpress.com/2022/06/24/the-review-of-the-thriller-the-therapist/ Can you let us know when we can read 'The prisoner'?

B.A. Paris Hi Janaki,

Apologies for my late reply, edits have kept me busy over the least couple of months! I'm delighted that you've enjoyed reading my books and thank you for your lovely review of The Therapist on your blog.

The Prisoner has been out for a while now, so I hope you've had a chance to read it!

Best wishes
