My good friend Jamie nominated me for a reader appreciation award a while ago and being the ditz that I am, I totally forgot about it until I was reading his ebook, The Rubicon Trail, last week.
Jaime asked me to answer the following questions:
Where do you do most of your writing/blogging?
I do most of my writing at my kitchen table. My actual desk is in the back of the house in the home office and it’s incredibly boring back there! When the weather is nice, I take my laptop outside and use my patio table as a desk!
Favorite book or books from your childhood?
My favorite series as a child was the Sweet Valley Twins series by Francine Pascal. In middle school, I graduated to RL Stine and Christopher Pike, who wrote teen horror fiction, as well as the Sweet Valley High series by Francine Pascal. I discovered Jane Austen in high school and was never the same!
Who is your favorite fictional character?
My all-time favorite fictional character is the Vampire Lestat from Anne Rice’s Vampire Chronicles. 🙂 If he were real, I would totally let him turn me.
Have you ever Googled yourself and been shocked at what you found?
Thankfully, I’ve never found anything negative! I have been surprised by Googling my daughter’s name though – I found her ranking in a state chess tournament, and she was only in elementary school. I didn’t like that her information was online at such a young age.
What’s your favorite time of the day and why?
I have always been a night owl, so my favorite time of day is actually night – around 10/11 pm, when everyone else is asleep and I can do whatever I like!
Who would play you in the movie of your life?
Winona Ryder. I love that girl!
One material possession that you absolutely could not live without?
My iPhone. I can do anything with it if I need to: online banking, watch tv/movies, keep in touch with friends and relatives, order food…anything!
Have you ever been naked in public?
No!
What is your dream car?
A candy apple red 1966 Mustang. I don’t like modern-day Mustangs, but those 66 Mustangs? Perfecto!
You and Hubs have the same dream car!
I loved Sweet Valley twins! I always bought the new books whenever they were released.
Me too! Did you read the newest book that came out last year? It was Elizabeth & Jessica, all grown up!
I couldn’t live without my iPhone, either. I love the older Mustangs (as well as Corvettes), too!
I’m a sweet valley twins fan too!!
I love all your book choices and especially understand the lure of Lestat.
I love posts like these where we get to know more about you!
