- TV or Movies?
Movies! But a House of Cards binge watch…does that count as TV or movies?
- Hot or Cold?
Hot definitely. My mom calls me her “hot house flower” – I’m always cold and live for warm sunny days. Remind me…why do I live in the northeast?
- Black or White?
White. I love white, I love how clean it is. I live in white jeans. I have maybe a hundred white tees and tops. I have a white coat. Of course, when I worked in New York, I was all black all the time. But now I’ve switched.
- Night owl or early bird?
Early bird. I wake up early, sometimes 5 am. It’s my best, most productive writing time…when the sun is just peeking up and it’s quiet and peaceful. I can bang out a full chapter sometimes.
- Print or E-book?
E book. I’m a total iPad devotee. That’s all I read now. I love it.
- Chocolate or Vanilla?
Chocolate. Hands down, no question. The darker the better.
- Coke or Pepsi?
Wine.
- Horror or Romance?
Romance! I’m a die-hard fairy tale, happy ending romance lover. Always have been, always will be. God, I still remember the day I saw The Shining. I couldn’t sleep for months, literally. I’m too much of a scaredy cat!
- Pizza or Pasta?
Pasta.,,,and pizza. God, I love Italian, love carbs. Spaghetti and meatballs is one of my top meals. And a good slice of pizza? Yum. But I’m mostly Paleo and don’t eat carbs that often anymore.
- Harry Potter or Twilight?
Twilight. Loved loved loved that series.
- Gum or Breath Mints?
Gum.
- Spontaneity or Planning Ahead?
I’m a planner, by nature. That’s just me, where I’m comfortable. And once you have kids, if you don’t plan, forget it, nothing will get done.
- PC or Mac?
Mac. I’m an apple girl. Have been since the beginning. In fact, I had one of the first generation laptops back in the early nineties. It weighed a ton, but I carted that thing around with me wherever I went. It was awesome!
- Beach or Pool?
Beach! I love the beach. That is my happy place. I want to live on the beach one day. The sound of the ocean, the beauty of the sea, the brightness of the sun, burying your feet in the sand, walking along the shore…I could go on. Suffice to say, I freaking love the beach!
- Shoes or Sandals?
Sandals all the way. From the moment it warms up in the spring to the last day when it cools down in the fall, I am in sandals…gladiators, wedges, flip flops, Birkenstocks, strappies, you name it, I have a dozen of each. Love.
- Cats or Dogs?
Both -- I love animals. We have a cat now because it’s a bit more low maintenance than a dog as a family pet. But once the kids get older, we are getting a dog, too.
- Facebook or Twitter?
Oohh, that’s tough. I like each for different reasons. I love FB for staying connected to my friends from throughout my life, from all over the world. And I love Twitter for connecting with writers and authors and fans from all over the world. It’s an amazing community, too.
