What story does your family always tell about you?

• The one that is always told is the time my cousins came down to visit for summer vacation from Ottawa and we went to the beach that is behind my old house, it was a few days before the were heading home and the water was really wavy so we were playing in the water and this big wave came up and I turned my back thinking I would block it well sadly it hit me and I lost my glasses in the ocean. I was crying hysterically because I knew  I was going to be in a whole lotta trouble when I went home. I was still in elementary school and yes I did get into trouble when I went home without my glasses on as we couldn’t find them.

• I would have to say that I would prefer the money. I think fame you have a price to pay and I hate being the center of attention.

Do you celebrate Easter? If so what is one of your traditions?

• Yes we celebrate Easter. One of our traditions is me making the ham with all the fixings the day of before Easter. Michael loves coloring the eggs so that is something else we always do each year.

Best April Fools Day Joke you have done or someone has done to you?

• The best April Fools day joke was done to me this year, I was on facebook and someone said that a huge storm was coming and that it was going to be cold. At the time I honestly believed it because Ontario got hit with snow on Easter so in my head I was cursing because I am so over winter and it was only later that I realized it was a joke we weren’t getting a storm.

What would we find if we looked under your bed?
Book Store or Library?
Heads or Tails?

Pieces of Advice you have for aspiring writers?

-Well I am not a writer but currently working on writing so I guess I would say ask as many questions as you can to someone who has been there or if you happen to have an author as a friend who would be able to offer support. Have someone read your work as you go along.

Favorite TV show when you were younger?

-When I was younger I loved watching the Brady Bunch, Little House on the Prairie and a show called Square Pegs.

What would we find if we looked under your bed?

-There is no monster under my bed but I am sure there could be a few dust bunnies hidden under there. I do know that the only thing under the bed right now is our dining room table leaf. That is the only save place to store it when its not in use.

Book Store or Library?

-Can I say both? I love going to book stores to buy books and tend to go alot. As for the library I have noticed that I tend to borrow more over the summer holidays since we are constantly at the library for an acitivity or two. I noticed that if I borrow any other time that I tend to forget about the books.

Heads or Tails?

-Its always heads.

Kathy has created this wonderful meme and each week she will pick 5 questions off her author interview list for us to answer.

I can’t live without…
Do you make your bed each morning?
City or Country?
Most embarrassing moment?
What do you think of book trailers?

I can’t live without………

-Cafe Mocha’s and the internet.

Do you make your bed each morning?

-Yes I make it each and every morning. I find it makes the room look clean.

City or Country?

-Having lived in both places I have to admit that I love the city but there are times that I love the country. I think sometimes with the hussle and bussle of the city you need to escape to the country to regroup.

Most embarrassing moment?

-I have several one that I would really love to share but I can’t sorry guys. The one I will share happened last year at BEA. They had moved the shuttle buses and I was wheeling my suitcase to the bus and for some reason I thought it was all a side walk but it wasn’t so needless to say I tripped and fell and there was a ton of people around and they all came running when they saw me fall. I was so embarrassed and I had to get on the bus with these people. They continued to ask if I was okay.

What do you think of book trailers?

-I usually don’t watch book trailers for books unless its something that really interests me or someone is talking about a specific one.

Is there anything you would like to say to or ask your favorite author?
Are you a dreamer or a realist?
Theater or Rental?
Share a family tradition.
Favorite late night snack?

Is there anything you would like to say to or ask your favorite author?
~ Where do you get your inspiration from and please keep writing.

Are you a dreamer or a realist?
~I think I am a little bit of both.

Theater or Rental?
~For the most part rental just because going to the movies can be so expensive when you factor in admittance and snacks. With that being said we do go to the movies occassionally just because there are some things you need to see on the big screen. Plus its a treat to go with Michael too see a movie that he wants to see.

Share a family tradition.
~New Years Eve we always stay home and make it a jammie day. I always make a special breakfast (as I always do on Easter and Christmas) and then we play a game or watch a movie and during the day we have all kinds of bad snack foods and then for dinner we always have a fondue and a chocolate fondue for dessert. We have done this for several years now.

Favorite late night snack?
~I usually don’t eat a late night snack before bed because after having gall bladder surgery a few years ago I tend to get heart burn but when I do have a snack in the evening it tends to be either cereal or fruit. In my earlier days it would have been chips and pop (soda)

Top 5 songs on your playlist?
How much time do you spend reading each week?
What is the last thing you Googled?
Favorite places to travel?
What is your favorite way to spend a rainy day?

The top 5 songs on my playlist are:

1. Finally Found You by Enrique
2. Empire State of Mind by Alicia Keyes
3. Dance Again by Jennifer Lopaz and Pitbill
4. Wild Ones by Flo Rider
5. Breathe by Faith Hill

How much time do I spend reading each week is a really good question and I would say roughly 10 to 15 hours reading a book but that doesn’t include reading online it emails, comments, blogs etc

The last thing I googles was about a sample I recently got at Sephora, it was the Dior Gentle Cleansing Milk and I wanted to know how to use it. I have never used a cleansing milk before and I figured what better place to ask and search then google.

My favorite places to travel to are NYC, Chicago and Upstate NY. Love those places.

My favorite way to spend a rainy day is curled up on the couch with a good book and a cup of hot tea.

So these are my answers this week check back nect week to find out some more things about me 🙂 Have a good weekend everyone.
