Vampires or werewolves?
  • Carol: Vampires, love the dark mysterious element of them. J
  • Adam: Vampires, though I do enjoy me some werewolves as well.
Pepsi or Coke?
  • Carol: Coke, Pepsi is too sweet. J
  • Adam: Coke, Pepsi has a weird after-taste to me.
Zombies or Unicorns?
  • Carol: Zombies. When I was younger I would have chosen Unicorns but the show The Walking Dead has me enthralled. J
  • Adam: Zombie unicorns of course…noting would be better, hahaha!
Stripes or Plaid?
  • Carol: Plaid, stripes are so boring J
  • Adam: Plaid, stripes make you look bigger than you actually are.
Female lead character or Male lead character?
  • Carol: Female Lead, love those strong female characters. J
  • Adam: Female lead…not sure why, but I tend to enjoy a book with a female lead more than a male lead.
Country or Rock?
  • Carol: Rock but 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?
  • Carol: Romance, have to have some in my books. J
  • Adam: I’m okay with romance in books, but I’m getting tired of love triangles and this insta-love stuff though.
Winter or Summer?
  • Carol: Winter, live in Florida so mild winters. J
  • Adam: Winter, easily the best time of year in my opinion.
Ice Cream or Popsicles?
  • Carol: Popsicles, ice cream too fattening. J
  • Adam: Ice cream, I mean it’s ICE CREAM. What’s not to like?
Good or Evil?
  • Carol: Good, 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.
