• 11 – I originally intended on majoring in Library Science when I went to college. But when I got there I was advised not to because my university was not accredited. So I wound up with a Business degree.

The 11 questions I was asked:

1 – What Inspired you to start writing? I wanted to write for as long as I could remember. This likely stemmed from my love for reading.

2 – Do you listen to music while you write? No. I do not like any distractions when I am writing. So I usually need to find a quiet place when writing.

3 – In two words or less, how would you describe your sense of Humour? Unpredictable 😀

4 – What is your favourite quote? This is a difficult question. Not because I don’t have a good answer. Rather I have too many good answers because I am a quote lover. I will go with:

God gave you a gift of 86,400 seconds today. Have you used one to say thank you? – William Arthur Ward.

5 – What are you reading at the moment? My sister and I are re-reading Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen. I am also reading Love Life Again by Tracie Miles.

6 – What do you wish you were better at? Lots of things but I will say I wish I were better at talking to people.

7 – If you could be on a talk show which one would you choose and why? I really don’t watch enough television to know what talk shows are current. LOL. So I am going to go with the morning show on my radio station. That is The Morning Cruise on The Joy FM. I love listening Dave, Bill, and Carmen on my morning commute.

8 – What is your least favourite food? Liver. (And my husband loves it!)

9 – What meal or dish can you make really well? Cheeseburger soup is a favorite at my house.

10 – What is your favourite thing to do when you have time by yourself? Read and write.

11 – What is your favourite trip you took and why? I am not sure about a favorite trip. But my husband and I have a favorite destination, which is The Great Smoky Mountains. We love looking for black bears and other wildlife.
