Pimp Yer Book

Some ho-ish tendency possessed me today and I joined a whole bunch of author loops. With author loops come many ways to pimp yer book, and thusly I present to you an interview of Shadow from "Love In Shadow" given by the CataNetwork:

Name: Shadow

Occupation: Wagon driver in my friend's cargo transport business. I know it's not a very ladylike profession, but I never really claimed to be ladylike, did I?

Zodiac sign: Hell if I know. Probably whichever one makes me the biggest pain in the ass.

Tell us about yourself. Where were you raised? What's your family like? Where do you live? You have no idea what a can of worms you're opening here... but I suppose if you insist. I was raised by fairies, since, you know, I am a fairy. But please don't ask me where my wings are. The thing about fairies having wings is a myth, perpetuated by easily amused people like you. I'd be more likely to sprout wings out of my ass than out of my back. Anyway, my family is a bunch of dirty wagon-robbing gypsy fairies and I'm well rid of them. I live on the road now with Lon. We drive transports. I can't imagine a better life. But, um, not because Lon is one hot guy. Noooo. I would never think of my boss and best friend that way. Not me.

What are your short and long term goals? What do you want out of life? Goals? What is this, some touchy-feely gather-in-a-circle and meditate thing? I don't know. I'd like to live long enough to run a few more transports with Lon. Oh, and play with his adorable kids a couple more times. Lord knows they could use someone to play with them, since their mom died.

What's your most embarrassing moment? Eugh. I should have known I'd have to reveal something humiliating when I signed up for this. Fine. Without a doubt, it was getting a little (ok, a lot) drunk at a dinner party and ending up in Lon's tent. In his cot in fact. Wondering if my virtue was safe... And, honestly, kind of hoping my virtue WASN'T safe. There, are you happy? I spilled my guts.

Biggest regret? Not acting fast enough when fairies attacked our transport last time. If I'd been paying a little more attention and been a little quicker, maybe they wouldn't have killed Lon's wife. I don't think I'll ever forgive myself for that.

Every been convicted of a crime? Convicted? No.

If you could meet anyone in the world, dead or alive, who would it be and why? Jeez, I don't know. Maybe my future kids... I'd be checking to see if they looked like Lon.

Are you single? Married? Looking? Single. Definitely single. And looking. But only at one man.

What's your ideal mate like? Lon, duh. Tall, dark, and handsome. Strong, good with kids, funny, and annoying as shit sometimes. But I'll put up with the annoying part as long as I can have the rest of him too.

Tell us a secret. What's something others might not know about you? You already made me tell my most embarrassing moment. I think you're out of freebies.

Do you have a nickname? Lon calls me Sunshine. But if you do it, I'll clock you.

Any pet peeves? Too many to list.

If you could change one thing about yourself, what would it be and why? I'd look good in dresses. I had to wear one for the, um, above-mentioned dinner party and I looked like crap. Of course, it might have helped if it wasn't such a yuck shade of green.

Any pets? Just my horse.

How about allergies? Allergies are for sissies.

Do you support any charities? Sure. It's called the Buy Lon's Mother-In-Law A One-Way Ticket to Outer Mongolia Fund.

Is the glass half full or half empty? If it had alcohol in it, I guarantee you it's ALL empty.
