WitWhimWiz asked R.S. Merritt:

Good evening! I just now discovered you, and am very much looking forward to getting into your novels! My only question is, do any small children or animals get eaten in your novels? (I'm perfectly cool with adults being turned into hamburger, but not babies or pets)

Wisteria
Wisteria asked R.S. Merritt:

Thanks for the friend invite. I will have to check out your book! :) Thanks. Where were you living in a lighthouse? I'm from the east coast of the U.S., and now live on the West Coast (Santa Cruz). There is a nice little lighthouse not far from where I live!

David Crane
David Crane asked R.S. Merritt:

Very interesting and diverse books you have written! Author to author and reader to reader I wish you all the best in your writing! :) What genres do you like to read most? I love science fiction and vampire novels and currently working on an idea to write a novel about vampires. :)
