Most definitely…it’s a Liebster

Cue…..the Dook.

Crack the bubbly……Fez

Why?

Okay…technically speaking, I’m breaking a few rules here on follower numbers but to quote Lady Fury who went and nominated herself for this award yesterday…..

Some rules are made to be broken

It is an absolute pleasure to receive an award and an even bigger one to pass it on. Puhew, it takes care of the next two blogs for a start! So, what are the rules? Well, display the logo …DUH, obvi to quote Fury again and link to the blogger who nominated me. That is the lovely Harliqueen,

Mishka Jenkins. Mishka has a fabulous blog, not just sharing her journey to publication but writing processes and she’s well worth checking out.

Mishka set ten questions for me and the hamsters to answer. We then need to set a different ten for those we nominate. So, here goes…

1. Who is your favourite author and why?

Right? Next question please……. Okay.. This is difficult I mean the hamsters probably like Rabbie cos he wrote a poem about a mouse- -close–or maybe even Steinbeck…of Mice and Men ….close again. I love so many authors, but probably one I read and read again is James M Cain. Why? Cos I love the way he wrote women. I love the fact he wasn’t afraid to write not just flawed characters but tackle taboos. Most of all I love his tight prose. Hard-boiled yes but creamy centred.

2. Do you have a favourite type of character?

Oh yes. Gimme flawed, gimme bad, every time. I need the reason to keep reading. The hamsters I can’t speak for but I guess they like furry.

3. Is there a part of writing that you struggle with and want to improve?

All of it quite frankly.

4. Apart from writing, what are you most passionate about?

Oooh.. You’ve not asked me an erotic writer that have you? My giawwd when I think of muses…..Okay being PC like Sandra Bullock in Miss Congeniality…

The hamsters now..they just like their food. it helps them scamper up them there hills.

5. Favourite colour?

At the risk of sounding chronic, all colour is beautiful. Being gothy in some respects, probably black.

6. Are you currently working on anything? e.g. Novel, novella, short story, poem, etc.

I’m editing one just completed manuscript about a very sumexy Viking and half way through writing my second London Jewel Thieves book, Splendor. Meet the Starkadder Sisterhood from Loving Lady Lazuli http://shehannemoore.wordpress.com/the-starkadder-sisterhood-london-jewel-thieves/ The hamsters are just busy on the wheel. Like I am looking at muses..

7. Do you remember your favourite childhood book?

conv

Okay….Sorry. Obviously that was the hamsters. But it was interesting…

Oh..Okay. you twisted my arm,

Tough choice here…. .I can’t make it.

8. Have you ever cried over a book? If so, which one?

I’m a tough cookie. But I tell you now, it was.

That shit about how the dying swallow stands by him. And, let’s not even go there re how traumatized I was trying to read this stuff in my best ooncle Paul Scofield…your mother cannot be with you any more Bambi bloody accent. To a kid of three?
