Today 2010 Debutante Judith Graves is here with us on her blog tour. I'm so glad she could stop by and I'm sure you are to. Here she is with a little Q&A.
-----------------------------------------------------------
I like to start out my days with a laugh. Soo… What makes you literally LOL?
I get the giggles at highly inappropriate times, usually when someone around me is having an emotional crisis and I can’t do anything to fix the situation. Like at funerals. Death is beyond fixing. In real life, that is. ;)
How did you celebrate getting published?
I remember eating a lot of chocolate, and I bitterly regret it – the chocolate high, I mean. (See my answer to question 7).
What/Who inspired you to become a writer?
A lot of authors inspired me to pick up the pen. But two men in my life inspire me to keep at it when sitting in front of my laptop is the last thing I want to do. My Grandpa Scott, who started writing fiction in his seventies. He was never published, but I cherish the one manuscript of his that I have. And my father. Through developing Alzheimer’s, he’s lost the ability to write his own name. I keep writing for those who can’t.
awww. that's really sweet.
Can you in any way relate your life to your book title, Under My Skin?
Sure, because life is so full of crazy. Sometimes our skin is all that keeps us in one piece.
Can we have a little teaser from Under My Skin? Promise to keep our lips sealed.
Wade jumped to his feet, blocking my attempt to pass him. “I don’t think chemistry will be a problem,” he said, a teasing light in his grey eyes.
“Nice line,” I murmured. “Use it often?”
“Never. You’re the one and only. Maybe my one and only.”
“Wow.” I snorted. “The soulmate card. You really think you have girls figured out, don’t you?”
“Girls, yes,” he deadpanned. “You? Now that could take a lifetime. I’m game if you are.”
At eye level, I stared directly at his sculpted lips as they formed the flirtatious words and then slanted into a sexy grin. We stood pressed together for a few glorious seconds. My insides quivered. And tingled. And yeah, he certainly did have big, I-give-good-love-bites teeth.
At least Wade stood a few inches taller than me. A minimum requirement for potential love interests in my book. His presence crowded, demanded a response. We were as close as we could get in public, yet he was too far away. I wanted us to sink into each other. Wade inhaled and his chest rose, pushing against mine. I shivered at the curl of sensations winding around me, binding me, making me lean against him.
That is hot. I love love love the teaser!
What's your guilty pleasure?
Karaoke
I've never tried it, but would love to sometime.
What is your favorite piece of clothing in your closet right now?
Any pair of jeans that make my ass look smaller. Seriously.
LOL. I tend to like the ones that show off my hips. =)
What’s your favorite fairytale? Have you ever thought of re-doing it?
Beauty and the Beast. UMS plays upon the same themes, love, loyalty, witchcraft/curses/the paranormal, family, self-acceptance, acceptance of others—except Eryn, the main character in UMS, is both Beauty and Beast.
What’s a random fact about you?
I was born in Ottawa, Ontario.
Do you have any words of wisdom?
I’m borrowing the words off a paperweight on my desk. “If you can dream it, do it.” Words to live by, my friends.
