Eye Color: Green! Like the Irish…lol….
Braces/Piercings/Tattoos: I have my ears pierced! *smiles*
Righty or Lefty: Lefty! Which makes my life very interesting…so much of the world is made for right-handed people, actually most of it…haha…
Ethnicity: American if we want to be boring, with a dash of Cherokee and I’ve been told I look Irish so maybe that’s there too…I do live in the Appalachians so that’s not a far stretch…lol…
Firsts:
First Novel Written: Yeah, we’re not gonna talk about that….lol…I’m actually currently revamping that idea…haha…
First Novel Completed: Would be Unfortunate Events with my sisters!
Award for Writing: Alas, no. I entered several contests to no avail….*hangs head* My short story ‘Forgiveness’ featured in my anthology Emotional Commotion is one of the stories I’ve entered in a contest. 🙂
Publication: Emotional Commotion was published last year in October! And Unfortunate Events is a book I published with my sisters!
Conference: No
Query/Pitch: Yeah, also no….lol…
Favorites:
Genre: Fantasy! I love the action and adventure found in Fantasy books!
Author: Chuck Black, Andrew Peterson, C. S. Lewis, J. R. R. Tolkien, and S. D. Smith! Lol…Yeah, more than one, but I couldn’t pick!
Writing Music: I prefer quiet…lol…Just me and Ruger hanging out together. (Ruger is my dog, in case anyone is wondering…lol…) I occasionally listen to Irish music, but I do voice-to-text, so noise makes that harder…lol…
Time to Write: Whenever I have a spare moment…lol…between chores, dulcimer, baking, and emailing friends! 😉
Writing Snack/Drink: I forget to eat or drink…*shrugs* I should probably do a little better about that…haha…
Movie: Lord of the Rings, BBC Robin Hood, Stars Wars (the originals), The Princess Bride, Pride and Prejudice (1995, it’s the best!), Wives and Daughters, Lark Rise to Candleford, Miss Scarlet and the Duke, The Hobbit, and Narnia! To name some….lol…
Writing Memory: Probably the day I had the idea for Unfortunate Events! Yes, *bows* I said let’s write something started that first sentence and tah-dah! Here we are with a four book series…lol…
Childhood Book: Little Gorilla, we drove our mom crazy with reading this one…lol…or the story my sister, Cassie, made up and did shadow puppets with called “Mr. Fudgebottom and the Chocolate River” or “Mr. Fudgebottom and the Annoying Rabbit” Lol….
Currently:
Reading: Nothing…lol…my dyslexic brain is having troubles…lol….but I hope to read The Starlore Legacy soon! I’ve been saying this for years…lol…
Writing: Stoneflake’s Bane – Book 1 of The Frozen North Series! A YA Fantasy series I’ve been working on for a while…lol…it’s not like I’m currently stuck or anything….*avoids eye contact*
Listening to: My mom’s leaf blower…lol….as I’m doing this she is blowing leaves…lol…or rather shrapnel from the roofers…lol….
Watching: This screen….this cursor as I try to figure out what to say….lol…but in reality tonight I will be watching the series The Tales of Avonlea!
Learning: Honestly, I learn things all day….lol…like baking, dog training, how to avoid my neighbors *clears throat*, um…. dulcimer, and yeah…math? Hahaha….
Future:
Want to be Published: Well, obviously….since I already have books published…lol….
Indie or Traditional: Indie! No one gets my style…they just chop it up in little bitty pieces! It breaks my heart…lol…sorry, being dramatic. But seriously…
Wildest Goal: Finish school so I can graduate! Sorry, that’s not a wild goal…but it feels like it when I’m doing math…lol….because Math and grammar are pretty much all I have left…haha…
A real goal would be to travel to Alaska and Ireland and Canada and have a sled team and have horses and own a ranch and a dog shelter and be published and how do I afford this, I don’t know…lol…become a millionaire because why not? Then fulfill my dreams and give the rest of the money away!
Tags:
My sisters! Does that count? Lol….
