B.A. Paris answered ivana's question: 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?

Quotes by B.A. Paris (?)

“We go downstairs and in the hall, he takes my coat from the cupboard and holds it open while I slip my arms into it. In the drive outside, he holds the car door for me and waits until I’m in. As he closes it behind me, I can’t help thinking it’s a shame he’s such a sadistic bastard, because he has wonderful manners.”
― B.A. Paris, Behind Closed Doors

“I don't suppose I could have a whiskey instead of the wine, could I?"
"Whiskey?"
"Yes"
"I didn't know you drank whiskey."
"And I didn't know you were a psychopath. Just bring me a whiskey”

“I cry even harder, thinking of how it could have been, of how I thought it would be. For the first time, I want to give up, to die, because suddenly everything is too much and there is no solution in sight.”
― B.A. Paris, Behind Closed Doors
