Tell about a family
tradition that you enjoy.
I really love the
Easter celebrations. Every year since I was a kid we would meet at one certain
family member’s home and have this massive dinner, and humongous egg hunt. As
kids we had to stay behind while the adults and older cousins hid the eggs. The
suspense was excruciating. Eventually, as that certain family member became too
old to hold the hunts we would move into another home until it was my turn to
be the host. The excitement in being the hider, and waiting for the new
generation to find their treasure is excruciating.
How do you want to
spend the last day of your life?
Free of any kind of pain. Not rushed and not knowing it was
going to be my last day of life.
Share a compliment
you received recently.
Someone told me I was a fantastic writer and just from
reading one of my books has asked me to collaborate on a project. That’s the
biggest compliment ever.
What seems to be the
biggest problem in your life right now?
Oh, where can I start? All of my problems are big peace-of-mind-stealing,
lint-in-pocket, constant-pain-in-back-and-hip monsters of problems.
How do you decide
between right and wrong?
I choose it naturally. I use discernment and think of three
choices. Jail, hell, or mental torture. I don’t want to have to live with any.

I think I want to come
to your place for Easter, Ey! Around the holidays, I often wish I had a big
family with lots of children running around. Then I remember that I’m a writer,
and I would probably let my children starve to death while I wrote “just one
more page”!
On July 17th,
I will welcome co- authors KR Hughes and TL Burns.
Thanks so a lot for having me over. I really enjoyed the questions. So, much fun.
ReplyDeleteAnd you're always welcome to come over and play with the kiddies and hide the eggs.
Aw! That's sweet, Ey! If I'm ever in your neighborhood, I may just drop by. :)
DeleteThanks for being such a good sport and answering my questions. I wish you much success!
