An Interview (in English and Romanian)

I have to say, Andreea (from the Romanian blog Love For Books) sent me some of the toughest interview questions I’ve had to date. LOL! But I’m always up for a challenge, so without further ado, here’s my interview below. If you’d like to read it in Romanian on her Love for Books blog, click here.

Q:  If you could be born into history as any famous person who would it be and why?

A:  I would be one of the famous ancient Irish Druids. I would’ve actually written the “forbidden information” down so that a big piece of Celtic history wasn’t lost.

Q:  You can re-live any point of time in your life. The time-span can only be a half-hour, though. What half-hour of your past would you like to experience again?

A: The first time my husband and I realized we were going to have a baby. That giddy excited feeling is one you can’t relive “for the very first time” ever again.

Q: Do you have a secret talent and what is it?

A:  I can tie a cherry stem with my tongue. 😉

Q:  You discover a beautiful island upon which you may build your own society. You make the rules. What is the first rule you put into place?

A:  You must FOLLOW my rules. 🙂

Q: Rufus appears out of nowhere with a time-traveling phone booth. You can go anytime in the PAST. What time are you traveling to and what are you going to do when you get there?

A: I’d go back to when I was ten and ask my uncle more about his clairvoyant abilities (I was too young to fully appreciate or understand them when he was alive).

Q: Your house is on fire! You have just enough time to run in there and grab ONE inanimate object. Don’t worry, your loved ones and pets have already made it out safely. So what’s the one thing you’re going to save from that blazing inferno?

A: With the understanding my family and pets are safe, I’d grab my laptop. Not only does it have a decade worth of work, but it also has tons of family photos!

Q: If you could be any character in fiction, whom would you be?

A: Cinderella. I love a good rags-to-riches story. Plus there’s a handsome prince, a kingdom, and a happily-ever-after. What’s not to love about that?

Q:  If someone wrote a biography about you, what do you think the title should be?

A:  Loved, Missed & Irreplaceable
(P.T.’s Note: I read this question as “epitaph” (don’t ask me why…must’ve had mayhem and death on the brain. LOL!), but I answered accordingly.)

Q:  If you could be a superhero, what would you want your superpowers to be?

A:  I’d want to have super human strength and speed. Kind of like a vampire, but without the fangs, the blood drinking & the sunlight aversion. *g*

Q: You’re going on a desert island and you can take only one book with you. Which book would you choose (except from yours)?

A: Haha, I’d take a survival guide book. Otherwise, I’d be dead within a day on a deserted island. If I wanted to be entertained, I’d just make stories up in my head. 😉

Q: You’re a ghost and you can visit any person of the world. Which is this person and why?

A: It’s not a person I’d want to visit, it’s a place. I’d love to go inside Buckingham Palace…to visit all the off-limit rooms too. 🙂 I’d want to do this because of the rich history behind the Palace.

One contest, THREE chances to win Brightest Kind of Darkness!

SweetSwan is having a wonderful contest over on her LovelyLit blog highlighting BRIGHTEST KIND OF DARKNESS. Not only did she review BRIGHTEST KIND OF DARKNESS, she also gave it 5 hearts! Yay! She also posted an interview, where I reveal some fun details behind Ethan and Nara’s story AND what’s ahead for them in book 2! 🙂

Here’s a snippet from SweetSwan’s review…

“Excellent!! The action started from the very first page!! The timing and pace were great!! The romance was sweet and steamy! The mystery was infalliable with soo many twists! The authors writing style was beautiful. I was blown away by how perfect the book seemed, especially considering it was self published! Other self pubished books ive read had errors or were very short. This book didnt have any of those problems!! Its def ready for prime time! I honestly think its ranked in the top books ive read this year!! ~ SweetSwan at LovelyLit Reviews
