Once again, to learn more about the Hometown Heroes authors, I donned my James Lipton beard and put them in the Inside the Actors Studio hot seat.
What is your favorite word?
Lucy: Hugs!
Allie: Any Allie’ism (words I blend together to create a new word). Currently, everything is fantabulous-o! This is as close as I get speaking Spamish (that means an attempt at Spanish but failing miserably—much like Spam is for meat)
Sabrina: Kerfuffle. It just sounds…tasty!
Rachel: Schadenfreude
Jami: Win
Adrianne: WINNER!!!
Destiny: Extraordinary
Kate: Pleasure
Cathryn: Yes
What is your least favorite word?
Lucy: Slurs
Allie: Can’t
Sabrina: The “C” word for lady parts
Rachel: Fart
Jami: Lose
Adrianne: Sexism
Destiny: Never
Kate: Greasy
Cathryn: Can’t
What turns you on?
Lucy: Lovingkindness. I’ve been known to get very amorous when my husband cleans the kitchen.
Allie: Chillaxin on the couch with the hubs. I also have a thing for sexy shoulders.
Sabrina: Bacon. Yesssss. Simply bacon.
Rachel: Captain America
Jami: A hot athlete
Adrianne: Besides sexy men? True Friendship
Destiny: An intelligent man who knows how to work his swagger without coming across as arrogant
Kate: Dinner on the table and no housework to finish
Cathryn: My husband’s shaving cologne
What turns you off?
Lucy: Meanness
Allie: Being an arrogant asshat. If he’s a jack wagon, even his shoulders can’t save him.
Sabrina: Bullies. Can’t stand them
Rachel: Smoking
Jami: People texting and driving
Adrianne: Meanness
Destiny: A belligerent drunk who thinks he’s cute
Kate: Dirty laundry (or housework in general)
Cathryn: Feeling fat
What sound or noise do you love?
Lucy: Babies giggling
Allie: That swooshing sound my Mac makes when I send a manuscript off to the editor.
Sabrina: The oboe. Haunting. I also love the cello.
Rachel: My children’s laughter
Jami: Wind in the trees
Adrianne: My cats purring
Destiny: Ocean tides
Kate: Laughter
Cathryn: Zach Brown’s voice singing
What sound or noise do you hate?
Lucy: Fists hitting flesh. I hate abuse and have opened my house to more than one woman or teen at risk.
Allie: The sound of a low, ominous growl behind you when you’re out hunting right after you’ve spotted fresh cougar tracks (yes, that really happened)
Sabrina: The nasal whine of a mosquito hovering around me, plotting to suck my blood. I wish no harm to any creature on earth…except mosquitoes. They can all die a heinous miserable death.
Rachel: Traffic
Jami: Traffic
Adrianne: Tinnitus
Destiny: The sound of a circular saw in use
Kate: Any heavy equipment that squeals/whines
Cathryn: Whining… doesn’t matter who
What is your favorite curse word?
Lucy: Bollocks
Allie: Fartnarker. That’s totally a word and fits any situation. It’s not even an Allie’ism.
Sabrina: Blurg (I channel Tina Fey in 30 Rock sometimes). I am also partial to “frick.”
Rachel: Fuck
Jami: Shit
Adrianne: The F word
Destiny: I take the 5th
Kate: Douchecanoe
Cathryn: Hmmm, can’t say it here
What profession other than your own would you like to attempt?
Lucy: Psychologist
Allie: I want to write full time. Currently I have a Stinkin’ Day Job. If I could write full time, I’d be fartnarkin’ fantabulous-o!
Sabrina: Glassblower. Sigh…I dabbled with glass at one time and loved it. So beautiful.
Rachel: CIA Case Officer or superhero
Jami: Interior designer or bartender
Adrianne: A singer, but the world would cringe.
Destiny: Stripping. Just kidding. Psychologist
Kate: Actor (I was in the drama program in college and always regret not sticking with it)
Cathryn: Chris Hemsworth’s movie set hair stylist
What profession would you not like to do?
Lucy: Sewer management
Allie: Pretty much anything on Mike Rowe’s “Dirty Jobs” show

Rachel: Wearing a hot dog costume and passing out flyers.
Jami: Cook
Adrianne: Toll Booth money taker
Destiny: Retail salesperson
Kate: Septic Tank cleaner
Cathryn: Middle school teacher (been there)
If heaven exists, what would you like to hear God say when you arrive at the pearly gates?
Lucy: Well done. :)
Allie: Take a left at the first cloud. You’re mom and dad are there waiting for you.
Sabrina: O Myself, Sabrina. I loved your books!
Rachel: I’ve decided to make an exception for you.
Jami: Welcome, my child!
Adrianne: Kim’s been waiting for you.
Destiny: For a minute there, I wasn’t sure you’d make it but it sure is good to see you. Now let’s dust off those wings and find your halo.
Kate: Welcome!
