Know Me Better (7)



 
 

Know Me Better is a Weekly Meme hosted by I'm A Reader, Not A Writer.
Each week she'll pick 5 questions off of her author's interview list to answer and invites us to join in on the fun, giving a way for our readers to get to know us better.
 

Favorite restaurant?
A: Wow, okay hard one haha. Uh, I’ll have to say Applebee’s. The food is very tasty, there’s a variety, and I have really enjoyed going the last two times with my amazing man!
T: I, too, have to say Applebee’s. I love their bourbon street steak. It’s really good.
 What is your view on self publishing?
A: I’m all for it, as I am one myself! Woohoo, I just published last month my horror short story of 29 pages and it’s the first for a series. The Harvesters (Harvesting Series #1). I'm actually having a Giveaway right now for it! I also love to read them, plus, I have met some really nice indie authors too.
T: I think it’s great. It’s a great way to get your name out there.
 How do you feel about banned books? Do you have a favorite?
A & T: Okay, banned books. I honestly never heard of them till I started blogging however I don’t know any that are, haha. But my take on it is there better be a good reason for it to be banned. If not then why do it. Yes, some books should be viewed only by a certain age group so if the parents don’t want their kids to read those certain books then they should do something about it. And if you don’t want that book in your store then don’t order it. I don’t know, to me it seems a little silly. Like I said, it’s mainly up to the parents and the book store owners, you know.
 Are you for or against books being made into movies?
A & T: No, I’m not against them. I’m just in fear of them if I’ve read the book before knowing about the movies. I’ve also loved the movie and then went to the book, loving the movie more than the written pages sometimes. It just all depends on the directors, producers, the cast they choose, and what not.
 Top 3 things on your bucket list?
A: Own my own book store, sneak into a graveyard at night (yea, I know. I’m creepy, haha), and being able to dance without a care of anyone watching me, haha! (these are just what came to mind, though I actually have a five year bucket list written down J)
T: Finish and publish my book, go skydiving, and see a Green Bay Packers game at Lambeau field. I’m a big Packers and football fan.
 
Thanks for stopping by!

  2. Nice answers! I agree that banning books is a little silly. If you don't like the book, don't buy it, but don't keep other people from buying it. I've got skydiving on my bucket list too! Cool! Good luck with your book!

  9. Sneak into a graveyard at night - love it! I'd love to do something like that, too. I find them more peaceful than creepy, although I probably wouldn't say that at midnight with a full moon.
