Well, onward we go!

1. If you could pick three words to describe yourself, what would they be and why?
   
   Um… goofy, creative, and random, I suppose.
2. What book do you return to time and again?
   
   I don’t return to specific books, rather specific authors. Specifically Madisyn Carlin, Kendra E. Ardnek, and a few others.
3. What is your favorite book to shove into people’s hands?
   
   I’ve done a lot of shoving of my book 🤣 But I’ve shoved Madisyn Carlin’s Deceived even more.
4. Which season is your favorite? Why?
   
   Summer. No need for coats or shoes, and… NO SCHOOL.
5. What book character reminds you the most of yourself?
   
   Ha. Good question. I think I’ll narrow it down for you, but it’ll be up to you to figure out exactly who. There’s a character in an upcoming anthology that I noticed is a lot like me. 😏
6. In a moment of dire need, you raid the refrigerator. What food item do you grab first?
   
   Anything chocolate. If not chocolate, then cheese. If not cheese, then I don’t know what.
7. Outside of reading or writing, what is a hobby you enjoy, and how were you introduced to it?
   
   Well… I stress a lot, and that was introduced to me by college… but actual hobbies? I’m testing out needle felting and drawing. I think I introduced them to myself.
8. What is your go-to board or card game with a group of friends or family?
   
   Snake Oil, Catan, Nerts, Exploding Kittens, the list goes on and on!!!
9. Science or history?
   
   History 100%. Science is one of the banes of my existence.
10. If you could take a course on any obscure topic you pleased, what would you pick?
    
    Oh man. Maybe… a study of writing fantasy literature or something? Like where you study the works of the greats like J.R.R. Tolkien and then learn from it?
11. If your readers take away only one thing from your blog, what do you want it to be?
    
    Read books, write stories, and be merry, for tomorrow the book market may collapse. That and HOLD FAST TO THE ONE WAY! ☝️ (Jesus. I’m talking about Jesus.)
