Jackie and myself wanted to know...

Name one favorite character who you have written or read about.

 

Cicada - He is a character for my Norse Mythology novel. Cicada is true to his name; he lives in the trees and is one with nature. He has a unique sound he makes to summon more of his kind and the magestic animals around him. He's of Asian decent, dark, fauxhawk hair and mild natured but fierce with his katana and fighting techique.

 

My favorite character I've read about is Sophronia from the Finishing School series by Gail Carriger.

 

What do you have on your Top Ten Bookish Bucket List?

How is a favorite character of yours?

For Feb 24-28 , Jackie and myself wanted to know...

If you could be in any movie or TV show, as yourself, what would you choose, and what could you bring to the table?

 

Movie – I would love to be in tons of movies. I love movies so much! But I guess I’d like to be in Red Dawn, either the original or the remake. It doesn’t matter. I think my main objective would be a strategic one. I’m quick on my feet and fast at doing what needs to be done. I always have a plan.

 

 

TV show – I would probably pick something Reality TV wise. Like maybe Amazing Race or Big Brother or even Survivor. Again, its all strategic. I thrive one situations that make me think outside the box and being tactical.
