Pepsi has a weird after-taste to me.

unicorns of course…noting would be better, hahaha!

stripes make you look bigger than you actually are.
Female lead

a male lead.

secretly love Disco J
Oops guess it’s not a secret anymore. J
- Adam: Rock, not
a big fan of Country music.
Romance or
no romance in books?

have to have some in my books. J

with romance in books, but I’m getting tired of love triangles and this
insta-love stuff though.

Summer?

live in Florida so mild winters. J
- Adam: Winter,
easily the best time of year in my opinion.

cream, I mean it’s ICE CREAM. What’s not to like?

hate evil! J
- Adam: Good,
evil is too evil for me, plus I’m all for happy endings.
Team Antagonist
or Team Protagonist?
- Carol: Team protagonist
that’s me. J
- Adam: Team
protagonist, I find it hard to connect with the agendas of most
antagonists.
Dead or
Alive?
- Carol: Alive,
but like the undead too, such a hard decision! J
- Adam: Alive,
because unless you’re undead, you’re just dead, hahaha!
Angels or
Demons?
- Carol: Angels of
course, I love my angels. J
- Adam: I will
have to agree with mom on this one, but demons are interesting though.
Rain or
sunshine?
- Carol: Rain,
love to curl up with a good book and read! J
- Adam: Rain, it
is the best time to write…creative juices flow like rain when it’s
raining.
Go to work
or Go to school?
- Carol: School, I
know I’m a nerd but I loved school! J
- Adam: Go to
work because not to brag, but I’ve got a pretty cool job outside of being
an author.
Watch TV or
read a book?
- Carol: Read a
book. J
- Adam: This one
is sooooo hard, but as much as I love to read, I’m going to have to say
watch TV. I have so many favorite TV shows!
Write
during the night or write during the day?
- Carol: Write at
night, with lights down low. J
- Adam: Write at
night, because just like when it rains, my best ideas come at night.
Read young
adult novels for the rest of your life or adult novels?
- Carol: Sorry,
love YA but have to have my adult novels too. J
- Adam: Easy
peezy, YA novels…CAN’T GET ENOUGH!
Be a
full-fledged Vampire or be a Childe?
- Carol: A Childe
of course, the best of both worlds. J
- Adam: Ditto
what the mom said. Being a Childe would be really cool…lots of perks!
Paranormals
or Contemporaries?
- Carol: Paranormals
for sure. J
- Adam: Definitely
paranormals, though I do enjoy a contemporary novel every once and a while
for a break.
Horror or
Comedy?
- Carol: Comedic
Horror, like Shaun of the Dead. J
- Adam: HORROR,
absolutely love me some horror! Favorite holiday just so happens to be
Halloween.
Invisibility
or ability to fly?
- Carol: Invisibility,
full of envy of Harry Potter’s cloak. J
- Adam: Ability
to fly…call it my Peter Pan syndrome if you will.
Ability to
read minds or Ability to see ghosts?
- Carol: I have
seen ghosts so it would have to be read minds. J
- Adam: Ability
to read minds…not a big fan of seeing the dead. I mean it would be really
creepy to just all of a sudden see ghosts.
Audio book
or Physical book?
- Carol: Physical
book, have to see the words. J
- Adam: Physical
book because most narrators in audio books sound poopy. Plus the voices in
my head make much better character voices that most recorded ones, hahaha!
Paperback
or Hardcover?
- Carol: Paperback,
have nerve damage on my left side so hard to hold hardcover. J
- Adam: Ohhhhh
hardcovers, mainly because they’re so pretty to look at. Yeah they’re kind
of heavy to hold, but they look much better on a shelf in my opinion.
E-book or
Physical book?
- Carol: Physical
book, I’m old school. J
- Adam: Nothing
beats an old fashioned physical book. I love the feel, the smell, and look
of a physical book. Plus our book has illustrations, and I feel they look
way better in book form because they look more like the sketches that
they’re supposed to be.
Buy or
Borrow books?
- Carol: Buy so
that I will own them. J
- Adam: I love
owning my own books and filling my book shelves. Borrowing is fine, but
there is something about being able to say that you own a library worth of
books, hahaha!
Buy online
or buy in a bookstore?
- Carol: Bookstores,
especially used ones. J
- Adam: Definitely
in a bookstore…LOVE THE SMELL OF BOOK STORES. Don’t judge me, but there is
just something about walking up and down the aisles of a book store,
scanning the shelves with a cup of coffee in your hand.
Romance or
action?
- Carol: Romantic
Action J
- Adam: Action
with a little romance.
Model or no
model on the cover?
- Carol: No model.
- Adam: No model,
I like to visualize the characters without being shown right up front what
the character is supposed to look like.
Common
named characters or Uncommon named characters?
- Carol: Uncommon
names, love unusual ones. J
- Adam: Uncommon
names, except when the names are just plain weird and distract me from the
novel. I hate when a character’s name takes me out of a book.
Fantasy or
reality?
- Carol: Fantasy,
love to lose myself, up to my ears in daily reality. J
- Adam: Fantasy
because who really wants to live in reality, I mean come on.
Stand alone
or series?
- Carol: Series,
have to say that because ours is! J
- Adam: Definitely
a series guy.
Short and
sweet or long and intense novels?
- Carol: Short and
sweet, hate to do too much deep thinking, hurts my brain! J
- Adam: Short and
sweet, because if a book is too deep and intense I find myself scanning
the book with over-glazed eyes instead of reading it, and I really hate
when that happens.
Zeus or
Hades?
- Carol: Neither
one, both have their faults. J
- Adam: Not
really a fan of either because not only do both of them have their flaws,
but they’re both kind of narcissistic jerks, hahaha.
Dogs or
cats?
- Carol: Dogs, we
have three. J
- Adam: Dogs,
I’ve got two myself and love them to pieces.
Crazy cat
Person or just plain crazy?
- Carol: I’m crazy
but I don’t know about the plain part though. J
- Adam: Hmmmm,
well I guess since I’m not a cat person, then I’m just plain crazy.
Read the
book or watch the movie?
- Carol: Watch the
movie and then read the book. J
- Adam: I would
have to say read the book, because like I said before, I like to visualize
the characters myself. Besides, most of the time the books are way better
than the movies anyway.
Read a
Super popular book or unheard of treasure?
- Carol: An
unheard treasure for sure. J
- Adam: Since I’m
usually the one that reads anything that’s popular at the time, I guess I
will have to say whatever’s popular. I wish I could have more time to find
those little unheard of treasures though.
Harry
potter or Twilight?
- Carol: Love my
Harry. J
- Adam: Sorry
Twilight, but I have to side with the series that single handedly
rekindled my love for reading, Harry Potter.
