Voltaire told us to "judge a man by his questions, not his answers." I ask a lot of thought provoking questions in this ebook, all starting with the words - what if. We can barely go through life without asking what if about something. We are always questioning, always imagining. While the book takes a bit of a philosophical outlook on things, it also gives light humour that the average person can enjoy. The questions range from basic style choice to more controversial questions about life, and even about God’s existence. As Albert Einstein once said “the important thing is not to stop questioning. Curiosity has its own reason for existing.”

My life would never be quite "normal" again, and that was okay. My new normal included two boyfriends (three?), studying to build my power as a medium, and attending a secret school that lay beneath the streets of New York City. Where, oh by the way, my father was actually the director. But when my new normal is threatened by the queen of all mean girls--a bully with supernatural powers and a link to an ancient evil that we're only beginning to understand, my first reaction is to pretend it's not happening. Ignoring problems never makes them go away, and ignoring Dora only makes her stronger. With each day her power grows, and when she somehow takes control of Alex--one of the boys I love? It's time to fight.Chosen for Song is the next episode in the serialized reverse-harem paranormal story, Chosen Academy, featuring magic, demons, mythology and plenty of swoon-worthy heroes!
