“What are you doing?”
“Kneeling before a goddess.”
“I’m not a goddess.”
“You are. A goddess, a princess, a queen. As a soldier, I pledge myself to your service. As a prince, I grant you any boon within my power. As a man, I ask to sit at your feet and worship you. Ask me to do anything for you and I will do it.”

“His eyes drifted leisurely back up to my face and he smiled at me appreciatively, “Kelsey, when a man spends time with a beautiful woman, he needs to pace himself. I quirked my eyebrow at him and laughed. “Yeah, I’m a regular marathon alright.” He kissed my fingers. “Exactly. A wise man never sprints…in a marathon.”

“He sighed and bowed deeply. “Sundari. I was standing here thinking nothing could be more beautiful than this sunset tonight, but I was mistaken. You standing here in the setting sun with your hair and skin aglow is almost more than a man can…fully appreciate.”

I hear that your book is becoming a movie, is it true? And please say yes because I am going to mark that date and storm in that theater and... You know the rest.
I am a little mad at you Colleen. You can't make the book come a little sooner. Me and my friends are dying
Hi Colleen,

Hello Colleen:). I could have asked this on Twitter lol, but I thought I'd check in on here. Will there be more than Five books in the Tiger's series? I am curious. BTW, congrats on the success of Tiger's Voyage. I absolutely loved and enjoyed it. I really like the narrator as well:). Have a wonderful day!
Thanks Collen for having accepted my request of friendship:D
I love your books!! Really!! They inspire my days and my nights:D

Hello Colleen
Thank you for being my very first friend on this site. I envy your wonderful gift, many people can write books, but not all of them are storytellers. I am grateful that you share your gift with us.

Hi Colleen =D
Thanks for accepting my request.
I love tigers for a long time, and when I saw the cover of your book, I almost died because I had to wait months to get my copy (yes, I'm not in the U.S.)
I loved the first book and can't wait for the second. x]

Just wanted to say that I love this series and it has moved up to my favorite. I re-read them all the time too:-) I will be lost when this series is finally done lol but I will be looking forward to more of your books. Your a great writer and a big inspiration.
Hey Colleen. Thanks for being my friend. =) Well I was trying find someone that actually looked like what I thought Kishan looks like & I literally stumbled on to this beauty. lolhttp://www.nareshk.com.I just wanted to share. Thank you for writing such amazing books. I love them & July can't come any faster.
I'm interested to see if you post a review of "Envy"...just read that one and wasn't sure what to think....
Hi Colleen. We've been friends on GoodReads for a while. I'd love to be actual online friends and open a dialogue with you. Just sent a message - heads-up:-)
Hey colleen I was reading some quotes from tigers curse answer I didn't understand one, one of them was talking about Kelsey from Ren's point point of view. Are you going to start making books in Ren's point of view? Oh yea I have another question its
are you going to make 2 more books after tigers voyage? If you are you must make them come sooner I'm in suspense most of the time and I AM NOT A PATIENT PERSON.
How come people have recieved Tiger's Voyage today? I would love to read the book now too, i do not understand why some peoples books were shipped to them today. If you could please respond to this i would love to know the answer. Thank you, Kelley.
Hi mrs. houck!!! I see that you are online JS you are the awesomest writer I know!!! And BTW Ren is so SMEXY!!!
Thank you so much for the hours of great reading you have provided me. I truly love your work. I hope you don't stop writing after the tiger books. I have a feeling anything you write will be a five star book.
Hey Colleen! I'm not sure where to place my comment about why I deserve a galley of TV, so I'm leaving one everywhere that I follow u, LOL. I hope I don't get disqualified so I'll get rite 2 the point. The Tiger's Curse Saga has become my world, I reread each book every week, and luckily for me I got copies of your self publish version of TC and TQ. I have to tell u that I loved them even more. I got to see a side of Kelsey that I only imagined but when I read your description of her she became even more solid in my imagination (if that makes any sense). I have read so many other books as well to kill time before TV gets out but I always end up not being fully satisfied and finish rereading the best books ever, TC & TQ. Soon to be added to the list TV, TDm, & TDy. My passion for these books can be seen from a mile away, everything has to do with tigers and Indian culture. At work I relate everything I do with this series. I deserve a galley because deep down, honest to God I love this books, their super special to me and are truly the best books ever and I would slap anyone who dare say otherwise XD. Thank u so much Colleen because u have given me and ur fans a world we love to visit each and every time we read your books.Plus every time I see or read a new interview with you, I am more certain that u r Kelsey Hayes in the flesh!. Love ya 4 reals!
Hi Mrs. Colleen, not to bother you or anything....but I had an idea for you.
It would be really cool if maybe Tiger's Voyage, Tiger's Destiny, or Tiger's Dream, that some of the money from the profits could go to Tiger Conservation. It's terrible to think that this beautiful animal might be extinct in twelve years time. Since your series is so popular and tigers are the main idea in the story, money to the tiger conservation fund would be an awesome idea. You've probably already thought of it before though.
Just a thought.;)
