E H Brown
Otherwise known as Eh? (Kidding…) Debut author E H Brown has has an offering to catch the eye and help those in passing a lunch break or an early evening spate of boredom. It’s funny, in fact hilarious and so much can be related to!
So here we go… let’s find out some more about Ms Brown…
Regular readers will know that Rambling On… is a self service form of interview and open to all authors Indie and Traditionally published. It differs from Simon’s 10 Q Interviews in that each author gets to choose their 10 questions from a list of over 55. Those who take part can also contribute a question for future participants…
Author E H Brown
has this week published her first Novella; School Capers and Love Makers (The Robin “Hoodie” Blakely Series Book 1) It’s “Different”. Funny, hilarious in places and whilst it’s classed as a Novella, I am guessing she wisely stopped in order to give us readers a chance to take a breath, recover the ability to speak and take control of our stomach muscles once more… It comes highly recommended for those with an alternative sense of humor! Here is the cover;
So, without further ado, let us find out which questions Author EH Brown has chosen and how she gets on…
SD Q6: Black, White…or 50 shades of grey ?
EHB A6: I’m probably the only girl I know who has not read Fifty Shades of Grey!
Pain is not my thing and is that not what it’s about? I’m more pink, which in black and white I guess is one of those shades of grey. E. L. James
seems to have got all the grey’s covered, so go on Simon, Let me be Pink!
SD Q8: What is your favourite hobby?
EHB A8: Nothing beats a good glass of Chateau Neuf Du Pape, there’s a smidgen of history in each glass and I probably drink more than my fair share. However, I don’t see why the boys should have all the fun! So you will regularly find me out frequenting the cocktail bars in the city (Is that classed as a hobby!). One of these days I’ll find somebody who shares my passion for fun, good wine, dancing and great movies. But until then, I’m a party girl and when not partying I’m writing, often transferring those experiences to script!
SD Q10: What is your favourite quotation and by whom?
EHB A10: So many to choose from, how about this one from the Margaret Mitchell classic;
“No, I don’t think I will kiss you, although you need kissing, badly. That’s what’s wrong with you. You should be kissed and often, and by somebody who knows how.” Gone with the Wind
.
SD Q12: If you could step into the shoes of anybody of all time, who would you choose?
EHB A12: Cleopatra
. But I would have to make a request to borrow your Time Machine Simon, as I would like to be in her shoes in the modern world! She had everything going for her, the power that few women could achieve, other than possibly Boadicea or Boudicca
, as she is sometimes referred. But for all Boadicea’s battles and due to the era in which she lived, I suspect she may have had a few hygiene issues! Cleopatra on the other hand enjoyed bathing in Goats milk and wearing extravagant jewellery. That is the way forward and I think she would probably have a field day in Cartier or, for the best of all worlds, within the Harrods Jewellery concessions.
SD Q14: Coffee or Tea?
EHB A14: I rarely drink either. I’m bubbly enough from all the Bollinger I consume and it’s unlikely I would have space to fit any milk into my fridge, I can’t drink either coffee or tea black… When not drinking champagne straight or enjoying a glass of wine, I do enjoy a Buck Fizz. Any spare space is needed to keep the freshly squeezed orange juice. It’s a wonder I can stand up sometimes!
SD Q30: Why do women aspire to be a size 6 or is that a fashion made myth!?
EHB A30: You would really have to ask those who do. I’m a size 8 but couldn’t imagine wanting to be any slimmer. I’m at a comfortable size. The ladies described in the Novella; School Capers and Love Makers (The Robin “Hoodie” Blakely Series Book 1) are curvy and more voluptuous, I can’t imagine how you would describe a size 6 in a romcom. Perhaps, “…She approached him with the grace of a ballerina, and he took her up in his arms. Moving to the gentle sounds of the ocean’s breaking waves, they danced under the moonlight, on this, the sandy beach where they had first met. Together they created their own music. Al Fonso was a tall, dark and athletic man. He attempted to block the pain. Her loosely covered and bony rib cage was exposed and cutting into his torso like a cheese grater as they danced. He attempted to bring her in closer, his muscular arms engulfed her in a temporary embrace. In the days since he had gone to war, she had dropped four dress sizes. She was less now than a handful. All skin and bone she slipped between the crevice between his muscular torso and bulging biceps. She fell, sinking, rather….floating like a goose feather onto the soft and golden sands! “Forget it honey, let’s go eat!” he rasped in his deep Southern accent. Ha ha ha… Maybe that is the way forward for a satirical piece of work! Not exactly a pulse racing descriptive!
SD Q42: Fillet or Sirloin steak and why?
EHB A42: Who makes up these questions? Fillet of course. If cooked appropriately it should retain all of those natural juices. It should melt in the diner’s mouth and, in a really good restaurant, a patron should be forgiven for releasing a slight moan of pleasure as the experience tantalizes the taste buds to the extreme. Remind you of anything?
SD Q44: Skiing or sunbathing?
EHB A44: Do I have to choose one? I rather enjoy both. I suppose given the Political Correct world we live in I would have to choose skiing over sunbathing. The comradery and social side of the sport is rather unique. I enjoy the challenge of going off-piste and seeing the views from perspectives that few people have enjoyed. The air in the mountains is so clean too, so refreshing after the smog of the city. Sunbathing is great if you want to simply relax, get away from everything and ogle people in their swimming cozzes’ for a week or two.
SD Q47: Butter or margarine?
EHB A47: I would not make a great health guru, it has to be butter and salted butter at that. I am yet to find an alternative worth spreading on toast or bread. If God wanted us to eat margarine I doubt he’d have gone to all that effort to give cows several stomachs!
SD Q50: Why should you be in The Word Volume 2?
EHB A50: Is that coming out soon? I would be delighted but suspect, given all the other names lined up, that I probably wouldn’t get a look in. It would be fabulous, perhaps if people are curious enough to download my novella School Capers and Love Makers leave me some nice reviews, then maybe you’ll ask me back! I think it’s only £1.53 or $2.99 for our american cousins… Can you even buy a Harrods plastic carrier bag for less, here’s a link for the cheapest Harrods plastic bag I could find!! £18.95 Those who could afford one of those I am sure could consider buying my book without breaking the bank? Tee-Hee!
