Icon Come up with discussion questions to win free prizes!

Post by Scott »

Garon Whited is the author of the December 2016 Book of the Month, Nightlord: Sunset. To help our friend Garon, we thought of a cool fun free contest.

Garon is in need of discussion questions to publish for Nightlord: Sunset. You have probably seen these reader discussion guides at the back of some books before. I know they come in handy at my real life book club meetings.

Please post a reply to this topic with your suggestions for questions Garon could include.

Garon will choose his 10 favorite questions and each of those 10 winners will get TWO prizes each. Each winner will get a $5 Amazon gift card AND a signed hardcover copy of one of Garon's books. You can get a signed copy of upcoming fourth book in the series, or you can get a signed copy of the first book.

Tip: Try to make the questions about Nightlord: Sunset and of specific interest to folks to have read Nightlord: Sunset. For instance, something as broad as "how did you like the book" wouldn't be very helpful.

You can post more than one question, but you will only win one set of prizes even if Garon uses more than one of your questions. This way we can still make sure there are 10 different winners.

The contest will be open for two weeks from the time of this post. Good luck and have fun!

Is any part of the story based in real life? is there any character that resembles you or a person you know?

In Nightlord:Sunset, Mr. Garon Whited decided to give Eric a voice through the use of a journal. How do you feel this added to the plot? Do you feel it took anything away from the main storyline?

Here is my set of questions:
1) What inspired Garon Whited to write Nightlord: Sunset?
2) Do you think that the book could have done better with more number of pages/words (making it slight lengthy)?
3)

Sounds fun!

Do you think that Mr. Garon Whited spun something entirely fresh and new with his book? Is this book different from other vampires books that you have read? In what ways?

This is great! A big thank you to the author! :text-thankyoublue:

This is what I have at the moment:

In Nightlord: Sunset, Eric is made into a vampire without his knowledge or permission. What are your thoughts on this? What would you do in a similar situation? What would you compare this with in real life?

Of all the different myths/legends used in the book (vampires, golems, magic, etc...), which was your favorite? Which did you find the most original, or best used?

Thank you to Garon Whited for this opportunity.

In Nightlord Sunset, Eric discovers that his purpose or role as a vampire, or Nightlord, is to ease the suffering of those who are terminally ill. Did this surprise you? Also, how does this contrast with characterizations of vampires in other works of fiction?

In Nightlord Sunset, there were several instances where Eric/Halar received special attention from deities. Discuss these situations including the name of the deity, a possible reason why the deity has an interest in Eric/Halar, and what possible outcomes might result from these associations.

While writing books, authors become emotionally connected with the protagonists. Did you feel that connection with Eric? Is any part of Eric's personality inspired by you or someone you know? Lastly, do you think you will miss 'Living Eric's life'?

Was Eric seeking revenge or justice? What's the difference?

My question:
There are many different stories about vampires, many different ways they are depicted in literature, compared to the way they are written in other books how do you like the way they are written in Nightlord: Sunset?

1- What message were you trying to send to people through your book titled: Nightlord: Sunset? and do you think that you were successful in achieving this goal?

2- What would you change (from mistakes you possibly learned this time), if you wanted to write another book? How are you planning to improve in writing your next book to enhance the experience you received publishing this one?
