Book Club Questions
1
Are you aware of what constitutes a “designer dog”? It’s when a purebred dog of one breed is mated with a purebred dog of a different breed, and the result is what’s called a “hybrid.” Some of my children have adorable (and expensive!) designer dogs. What are your thoughts about them?
2
Did you like the concept of dogs being able to do magic? It tickled my fancy and so I put on my thinking cap to come up with some good ones. Are there any others you can think of? (If so, please email me at Heather@BooksByHeatherHorrocks.com and let me know so I can add them into future books!)
3
What is your favorite breed of dog? What’s the most “magical” dog you’ve had?
4
What do you think would be the coolest magical ability a dog could have?
5
If there really were love potions available, would you consider using one to snag a potential mate? Would they fall under the “all’s fair in love and war” heading? Or would they be totally unethical to use? Would there be certain situations where their use might be a good thing?
6
Was there a first love you’ve never forgotten? Someone you had a secret crush on? Have you ever looked them up on Facebook? Tried to reconnect? Do you think it could potentially harm a current relationship to look up a previous love on Facebook?
7
Do you have family who want to be involved in everything you do? Do you see that as an intrusion? A blessing? Or a little of both?
8
If you could go to Craved Ice, what would Jingle say you needed in your magical snow cone?
9
Have you been to a luau? What is your favorite memory? What was your favorite dish?
10
Have you seen a haka performed? What were your thoughts and feelings?

About the Author
Heather Horrocks is the USA Today bestselling author of numerous light-hearted, funny, feel-good books (Moonchuckle Bay paranormal romances, Chick Flick Clique and Christmas Street romantic comedies, romances in the American Mail-Order Bride and Rocky Mountain Romances series, Who-Dun-Him Inn and Bad Mothers Club cozy mysteries), the Women Who Knew inspirational books, plus an upcoming series for writers, sharing her unique character interview and amazing book-in-a-day system developed by plotting over ninety books with Diane Darcy, each in one day. She is also the founder of Word Garden Press, a niche publisher of PG-rated fiction and non-fiction. She’s currently working with a talented screenwriter/producer on the first book in her Christmas Street series, Bah, Humbug!
Raised overseas for her first seventeen years, she hid under the bed with her mother during a South American coup, waterskied through an oil slick in the Persian Gulf, partied with a Kuwaiti princess classmate at her palace, flew in and out of the blacked-out Cairo airport mere moments before it was bombed during the Six Day War, rode a camel (and ate a camel steak), crossed the finish line first at Utah's Miller Motorsports Park, and walked on hot coals — without getting burned! — at a firewalk workshop!
She loves anyone who can make her laugh, which explains why she adores her witty husband, her funny friends and sisters, Anne George mysteries and Molly Harper romances, and her cute little dog Gus. She loves to cook for friends, siblings, and especially her children and their families. She and her husband reside in Utah. You can find her online at www.BooksByHeatherHorrocks.com.
