Years & an Ocean

I had a chance to do another wonderful character interview with Delia and Ellie from Years & an Ocean. They are two young women on different continents and in different centuries who share a soul- amazing! This should be fun.

1) If you had a theme song, what would it be?

Delia: Girls Just Want to Have Fun (The Maine featuring Adam Lazzara)

Elle: She thinks thinks is her theme song, but it's not: Shut Up and Let me Go (by the Ting Tings); It really is Round and Round (Selena Gomez)

2) What is your favorite food?

Delia: Pineapple

Elle: Indian food

3) What did you want to be when you grew up?

Delia: To have a husband who will allow me to run our household, a husband who will love me and treat me with respect.

Elle: I don't have that figured out yet. It kind of stresses me out. I know--I should know that by now. 

4) Is the dress blue and black or white and gold?

Delia: We don't have internet so I haven't seen it.

Elle: Blue and black, but ugly in either color.

5) What is your favorite book?

Delia: Jane Eyre (Charlotte Brontë)

Elle: City of Bones (Cassandra Clare)

6) If you could hang out with anyone for a day, who would it be and why?

Delia: Elizabeth Bennett. Like Elizabeth, she doesn't want to settle either. She wants more.

Elle: My celebrity crush is Colton Haynes, and I promise I've never aggressively tweeted him.

7) Who is your favorite villain?

Delia: Mr. Darcy. Yes, yes, yes, please!

Elle: Loki, because duh!

Well, thank you for your time ladies. I'm off to go eat some Pineapple and check out Amnesty.

Check out Years & an Ocean.

Some other wonderful books by Jo Noelle

Welcome back Friday- I've missed you

Thank you Pinterest for another memorable picture. I hope everyone had a great week, or at least a good week. My music discovery for the week is Geronimo by Sheppard. Makes me want to step up and start doing all the things I want to do in my life starting with this girl scout cookie...

Wishing everyone an awesome weekend.

It's the Pirate's Life for Me- Fog of Fortune: Book One

I had a chance to do a character spotlight on Captain Silversword from The Silversword Chronicles. We first meet this swaggering pirate in Fog of Fortune.

So Silversword if you had a theme song- what would it be?

Bad by Michael Jackson

It's 2:00 a.m. and the Captain wants a treat. What would you send your crew for?

Anything with the phrase "Golden" in the name.

Okay Captain, for all those Pirate Captains out there what did you want to be when you grew up?

An Officer, like my father.

What Color is the dress- black and blue or white and gold.

Curse the dress and kill all who waste time squabbling over its color, but of course it is GOLD.

There are many long nights as see as you track down other ships to pillage. In your free time what is your favorite book to read?

Adam Smith's The Wealth of Nations

Last question Silversword and we'll depart for the day- if you could spend the day with anyone- who would it be and why?

King Midas, I would hold him ransom until he shares his secrets with me and his GOLD.

Well it was nice meeting with you today. I hope we can talk again when your second book comes out.

Aren't you forgetting. I never leave witnesses...

Daylight savings time- where in my brain becomes mushy

Daylight savings time struck again. It didn't seem too bad yesterday morning when the alarm wasn't going off and I could take my time getting up. Today it blared at me at 5:25 (my brain translated it automatically to 4:25) and even the dog groaned. Blown away by Carrie Underwood did nothing to make getting out of bed in the freezing cold any better. And then this showed up on my Facebook page. Wishing everyone a happy daylight savings time. (Love this book by the way!)

Dr. Seuss' Birthday

I loved Green Eggs & Ham. Back in Junior High (I won't list a year) I wrote a whole book inspired by his rhyming. Thank you for many happy memories for myself and all the kids out there.

Groundhog Day

Please, pretty please, don't see your shadow. I'm so tired of being cold. For all those in Hawaii-I want to move there. How about all those out there- are you winter people or summer people?

Dress Up Your Pet Day

Hi All,

My dog is currently dressed up in a sweater. Not for dress up your pet day but because it's freezing cold! I'm ready for so heat here and it's probably not coming for a couple more months. Anyone else ready for the spring?
