Sunshine Award!

I am the surprised but honored recipient of a Sunshine Award from two talented authors. Thank you Renea Mason and M.Q. Barber! Both ladies have debut novels coming soon, and I can't wait to read them. I had the pleasure of proofreading a couple chapters of Renea's Symphony of Light and Water; from those few pages I know it's a steamy, angsty tale, beautifully written. And perhaps I'm overstepping my bounds, but since she admits to fanfiction roots on her website, I'm going to share M.Q. is among my favorite (fan fiction) writers ... ever. That's saying something because I've read thousands of fanfic stories in my day. There's magic in her pen, and I already know I'll buy anything and everything she releases. 

It seems this award comes with a series of questions-- the scary kind that are about myself *gulp--but no worries, here goes nothin':

Favorite Color: It shifts with my mood. Sometimes it's deep blood red--a color that's sexy and mysterious, but also vibrant. It brings to mind wallpaper on bordello walls and women of the night who aren't afraid to live outside of Society's boundaries. Other times my favorite is aquamarine--like the turquoise waters of the Caribbean. Both colors feel like freedom. Usually when people ask, I tell them my favorite color is purple. Sometimes that's true.

Favorite Animal: Any critter in my care, though my Poodle Terrier Mix really does own my heart.

Favorite Number: I avoid numbers and they avoid me--never sticking in my head for too long. It took me two months to memorize my current address. 

Favorite Non-Alcoholic Drink: Coffee baby! Deep, dark, delicious French roast. Black usually, sometimes with a splash of cream.  

Facebook or Twitter: Twitter; it works well with my short attention span.

Your Passion: Reading. I get the urge to write only when I can't find a story I'm craving. I really wanted a spooky ghost story romance and couldn't find one, so I wrote my first short story.

Giving or Getting Presents: I love to give presents; it's one of my favorite things.

Favorite Day: I feel like this is a trick question. Favorite day as in a holiday, or some day that comes once a year? I love Sundays. Summer Sunday afternoons in particular. Sunshine, iced tea, a good book, something baking ...

Favorite Flowers: Sunflowers. Nope, you wouldn't know it from my website ;o)

D.B. you're a sweetie. Of course, I'll have to remember to be careful what I reveal to you-- you might put it in your blog. ;o) I had fun reading yours as well. Red huh? Who'd of thunk it.

Necessity really is the mother of invention, isn't it? It's that nagging spark of creativity that won't shut up until the story demanding to be written is complete. I suspect it turns many readers into writers.

Any list of favorite things that includes a dog photo gets a thumbs-up from me. :-)

Oh, and no worries, you're not overstepping at all. I'm humbled by the compliment.

True, very true. And I'm not sure it's possible to be a writer without first being a reader.

Yay for pups!

I'm glad you didn't mind about my fanfic reveal; I adore your writing and can't wait to dive into these upcoming novels.
