Q. Can you cook?

A. Yes. Quite well. But I rarely do. Don't like the shopping, don't like the preparation, don't like the clearing up. A chef is the first purchase when I get rich.

Q. What was your dream growing up?

A. I literally - LITERALLY - wanted to be a Highwayman. Black horse, big boots, cloak, tricorn hat.  I was gutted when I found out that there weren't such things any more. Growing up further? Not to work.

Q. What talent do you wish you had?

A. Drawing. Then I could design my own book covers.  I SEE them in my head but I know that I'll be dissapointed with Transgressions and Junction X.

Q. If I bought you a drink what would it be?

A. Depends on the time of day really.  A pint of Stella Artois, a bottle of Sol with lime, Any very long fruity cocktail with a ton of ice, it has to be freezing cold.

Q. Favorite vegetable?

A. (refrains from sick joke) Brussells Sprouts

Q. What was the last book you read?

A. Obviously, if I recognized you and I was in a car/on a horse/bike.

Q. What is your favorite sport?

A. Three Day Eventing

Q. Pessimistic or Optimistic attitude?

A. I take my mantra from Terry Pratchett  "That's not my glass. My glass was full. And it was BIGGER!"

Q. What would you do if you were stuck in an elevator with me?

A. It very much depends on who you are. I had rabid "Fatal Attraction" sex in an LIFT once.  You might not want to be in one with me.

Q. Worst thing to ever happen to you?

A. No contest. My mother dying last Christmas.

Q. Tell me one weird fact about you:

Q. What if I showed up at your house unexpectedly?

A. God Yes.

Q. If you could change one thing about how you look, what would it be?

A. Other than instant weight loss - I'd like my mouth done, it needs to quirk UP.

Q. Would you be my crime partner or my conscience?

A. Oh, crime partner.  You knew that without being asked.

Q. What color eyes do you have?

A. Blue

Q. Ever been arrested?

A. Yes

Q. Bottle or Draft?

A. Both. Cross reference with optimism question.  And a chaser.

Q. If you won $10,000 dollars today, what would you do with it?

A. Worry. How did I suddenly end up in America? £5,000's hardly worth winning. But *sigh* um. I'd buy a new car.

Q. Would you date me?

A. It very much depends on who you are!!  You'd have to be literate, funny, and very bi-sexual.

I think... four people in the world know (other than personnel at work, and as they can't even spell my first name correctly after 5 years, they don't count.)

AND YOU AREN'T GOING TO BE NUMBER FIVE ME BUCKO!

Even if I batted my baby blue eyes and was all sweet and kind and nice and wrote pron for you and did all sorts of sweet things? Not even then?

You know the answer to that. There's an amusing story behind why I actually loathe my middle name, but it would take too long to type.

But you can write me pron, anyway!!

Hello! Thanks again.So I have only to wait.

Q1.What sort of cover do you prefer? Nice photo? Drawing?
Q2.At least they pronounce your first name correctly?(silly question)

My last names(I have two surnames),neither of them people can't spell correctly.Two times I had trouble with airline ticket for that reason(be careful!).But I adore long name like "Schweinsteiger","Triantaphilopoulos".

I'm ambidextrous,too.(You say about "hands",ok?)But Japanese teachers tried to correct me because they regard it "wrong".My childhood!

Yes, patience!

1. For historicals - I like a really beautiful detailed cover like this:
(although without the women)
http://romancebooks.splinder.com/post/13645678

Because I love the clothing. (I'm not sure about the 3rd one wearing denim, though)

and I like this sort of headless cover, I can just SEE the back view of a man in breeches and a frock coat, perhaps holding a cravat in his hand


For junction X though, I see a sort of impressionistic black and white painting, it's raining and you can just make out a man on a platform.

No, no-one pronounces my real name correctly...

Wow! Surprise attack! Just a moment to collect myself.

The guys are nice. I wondered what kind of women read these books. But, just think, straight guys react the same way when they see covers of homosexual novels, don't they?

Sleepless nights. So I'll count Meme sheep tonight.
Good night.
(Forgive me for grammatical errors.)
