The Questions
1)
You’re marooned on a small island with one
person and one item of your choice—who is that person and what item do you
have?
I feel like I’m supposed to say my husband because he’s the love of my life and I’m supposed to want to be with him all the time. But reality is if we were stuck on an island together and that’s it, we’d both die. So I want to be stuck with someone that knows how to make shelter, and fire, and find food. Yup, that person. I’ll call him Bob because he’s a strapping sexy man, who of course understands that I want to be alone sometimes to write since we’ve got nothing but time. But also that snuggling is just as nice of a way to pass the time.
As for the one item, the biggest blank book in existence so I can write. Don’t worry about writing implement. Bob knows how to take a feather, from the bird he killed for our food, and turn it into a pen for me to use. The ink is berries of some kind that are smashed up and put into some kind of fruit gourd Bob fashioned into a jar.

2)
Which musical would you say best exemplifies
your life – and which character in that musical are you?
So many good musicals out there. However, I don’t think any of them are as boring as my life. Is there a musical with a character that’s a mom trying to find time to get it all done? And still stay sane as well? That’s pretty much my life. I can just picture the musical numbers now. Dancers in pajamas with bad hair singing about having to wash the same load of laundry four times because they forgot to put it in the dryer. I’d see that musical the second it comes out.

3)
Take these three words and give me a 100 word or
less scene using them: stamp, exam, key
Only 100 words? Oh wow. Ok, here goes:
“Where’s the key?”
Joe frantically looked around his office hoping to find the answer key to the final exam he was supposed to grade. He only had two days to grade 500 exams. It wouldn’t be a problem if only he could the stupid key.
Paper flying around the more anxious he got, Joe hoped he didn’t have to create a new one. All those multiple choice answers, true and false, matching. He was going to break out in hives just thinking about it.
With a stamp of his foot he gave up. Nothing for it, he’d just have to start over.
“Baby, are you looking for this?” His boyfriend’s voice startled him and he looked up. The answer key dangled from two fingers.
“Thank you! I’ll figure out why you had it later. Now to start grading all these stupid exams.”
Ok, so that’s more than 100 words. But we’ll just pretend it’s not.

4)
You’ve just been let loose in the world of
fiction, with permission to do anyone you want. Who do you fuck first and why?
That’s kind of hard since I’ve got entirely too many book boyfriends to count. I’m going to have to go back to the time when I read het romance and choose David from David’s Angel by Stephanie Beck. He’s the right amount of husband, dad, and Dom that is just what I want.

5)
What is your idea of how to spend romantic time
with your significant other?
As long as it’s quiet, and no little one running around, it’s time well spent. If we can cuddle some too, it’s even better.

6)
When you start a new story, do you begin with a
character, or a plot?
I tend to begin with a scene. Most of my books come from a vivid scene in my head. It’s also usually the defining scene in the story. It grows from there in the way a story tends to grow.

7)
If they were to make the story of your life into
a movie, who should play you?
I’d love to have Melissa McCarthy play me. If I were even a fraction as funny as she is I’d be a happy girl.

Who’s your favorite horror villain and why?
I don’t actually watch any horror if I can help it. Gives me nightmares. So I’m going to give my favorite comic book villain, because I’m a nerd like that. Lex Luther for his cunning intelligence and always finding a way to keep Superman on his toes. However the original Catwoman is pretty amazing in her villain-ness as well. She was never truly bad, but played Batman so well. She always seemed one step ahead.

Do you have an historical crush and if so, who
is it?
Not really a crush, but I’ve always been fascinated by Abraham Lincoln and John Kennedy. Especially all the conspiracy theories surrounding both of them. Wait, is my tin foil hat crooked? *fixes hat*

10)
Is there a story that you’d like to tell but you
think the world isn’t ready to receive it?
So far none of my stories are things I don’t think people would get upset about or aren’t ready to read in some way. Some of them are going to be highly emotional that will be, in my opinion, hard to read. But I’m hoping they will be well received. We’ll see how it goes.

Excerpt:
“Cole. I have a surprise for you. I want you to close your
eyes and keep them closed until I tell you to open them.”
Cole looked up from his magazine at the doorway Perry’s
voice drifted in from. He put the magazine on his nightstand and closed his
eyes.
“They’re closed,” he called out. He wasn’t sure where Perry
was in their apartment, but he sounded close.
Rustling and a strange squeaking noise reached his ears.
Cole furrowed his brows trying to figure out what Perry was up to and what he
was hearing.
“Okay. Go ahead and open your eyes.”
Cole popped his eyes open. He closed them and then
re-opened them again. Nope, he still was seeing what was in front of him.
“Perry. Why is there--?”
Perry cut him off before Cole could finish his thought.
“So, we had talked about fantasies and things like that. I
told you this was mine. So I’d like to introduce you to Freddy. Freddy, I’d
like to introduce you to my boyfriend, Cole.”
Cole smiled at how nervous Perry was. His boyfriend was
adorable trying to be brave with his ideas.
“Nice to meet you, um, Freddy. Perry, where did you meet
Freddy?”
Perry had a small smile on his face that showed Cole he
appreciated he was alright with what was happening.
“Online. I found Freddy on some website. Can’t remember the
name now.”
Cole was stunned. His boyfriend didn’t go to those types of
websites for any reason. Just meant Perry wanted to have the threesome and was
willing to do it without asking one of their friends. Cole was so happy Perry
had found a way to have his fantasy.
