Interview with M.B. Feeney: A Little 'Bout Love
So my email was being a bit of a pain over this past weekend. Cowboy and I are celebrating our second anniversary today! In part of celebrating, after two years of marriage, this past Saturday we were finally able to have our actual wedding ceremony. (Brace yourself, here comes a mushy picture.)
Yay love! That same day, this wonderful and unconventional interview about love with M.B. Feeney was supposed to post! So, enjoy!
An Interview with M.B. Feeney... About [Mostly] Love!

Website1. Who was your first love?
My first love... I'd have to say Donnie Whalberg from NKOTB (the Hanging Tough years) - Boy! That man was my everything!
2. Do you believe in love at first sight?
I don't. I believe in attraction at first sight and from that love can grow. I don't believe you can love someone until you know them and are able to accept their faults as well as their good points.
3. When was your first kiss?
I was a late bloomer. I want innocent until i was about 15 or 16. It all went downhill from there ;)
4. What is the cheesiest pick-up line you've ever heard?
When I was 15, I worked a Saturday job in a library. One of the guys, James, was at uni and used to come in on a Saturday and test out lines on me to see what reaction he'd get. The cheesiest was "That dress looks great on you, it'd look better on my floor".
5. How big of a role does love play in your writing?
It honestly depends on the subject matter. I tend to write British Chick Lit with a side order of sarcasm, but I'm trying to branch out of my comfort zone. In my current works, love isn't just romantic, it's familial which is harder to convey due to a lack of sexual attraction and interaction.
6. Do you believe that once you love someone, part of you loves them forever, or once it's done is it completely done?
I think that every person you love, or has loved you, leaves a mark on you forever. You'll never forget that person, even if the parting of ways wasn't always smooth.
7. What attracted you to your current s/o?
His ridiculous (and frankly awful) sense of humour. We were friends first which I believe is a good starting ground for any relationship.
8. Is love worth waiting for when you know that somebody is "the one"?
I think that's a tough call. If people consistently wait for 'the one', they could be missing out on so much, and who knows. The one may stem from the 'friend' or the 'the one right now'.
9. Are love letters sweet?
they are, but also can be too much if done all the time. My S/O tends to text me rather than write a note. They make me smile as I know he's thinking about me. (I'm not coming across as very romantic am I?)
10. Do you write "steamy" scenes in your stories, or do you let it trail off and leave it to the reader's imagination?
I'm a big believer in a good 'Fade to Black' as I feel the reader's imagination is far more powerful than anything I could write. Also, I get uncomfortable writing those scenes hahaha.
11. Are you working on any new pieces now?
I'm working on a collection of military based short stories which I will self publish as each story is far too short for any publishers to consider and also, I think they fit together nicely and I wouldn't want to separate them to place into other anthologies. I've also started a new YA/NA story that I'm hoping with which I can dip my toe into paranormal writing.
12. Any advice for aspiring writers before you go?
Keep going. Write, write and write some more. Find your voice and don't let anyone change how you write.
