Questions from Carol to me:

1.       You wouldn't be caught dead, where?

I wouldn’t be caught dead in a crowded mall during Black Friday. Of course I could be dead in the mall on Black Friday because that is the only way you would get me there.
 
2.       Name one thing you consider yourself to be very good at.

I consider myself a good cook.

3.       If you were granted three wishes from an angel or genie what would you want?

I would wish that no one would ever abuse a child again in any way.

I just want that one wish – oh and clean air and clean water.

4.       If you could be any fictional character who would you choose?

I would be Jane Eyre because she is smart, strong, and courageous.

5.       What is your favorite book?

I love Jane Eyre, but choosing a favorite book would be like choosing my favorite child.

 
6.       What author inspires you and why?

Sherman Alexie inspires me because his writing makes me think, and it makes me want to write. He can make a person laugh and cry all in the same sentence.

7.       If you could meet any author who would it be and why?

Sherman Alexie for all the reasons I stated above.

8.       What is your favorite book quote?

There are simply too many great quotes to pick a favorite. My library is full of books that are annotated and underlined

9.       If you could choose to stay a certain age forever what age would it be?

I would stay thirty-six forever.

10.   What are you most grateful for?

I am most grateful for my life, my children, and my husband, and God.

 
11.   If someone wrote a book about your life, what would they title it?

A book about my life would be titled: You Can’t Make This Shit Up

Eleven random facts about me:

1.       I have a village living in my head.

2.       A perfect day would include the beach, gardening, scrapbooking, reading, and eating great food.

3.       I get really bad anxiety at times.

4.       Grandkids are amazing people.

5.       My ideal home would have a floor to ceiling bookcase covering one entire wall in every room because a girl can’t have too many books.

6.       I wish I could find someone to draw realistic pictures of all my alters.

7.       I love fresh peaches just picked from the tree when they yield slightly to pressure and are warm from the sun.

8.       The tulips coming up in the spring make me really happy.

9.       I tolerate cold weather because I really hate bugs and spiders.

10.   I love the smell of books.

11.   I want to publish a novel before I die.
