1) First random question, if
you could have a restaurant, where would you locate it and what kind of food
would you sell?
Answer: I would have a hybrid
establishment, part restaurant (café) and part book store; it would be located
either in the Great Smoky Mountains or in the California Redwood Forest. I
would serve all types of coffees, teas, pastries or foods that will accentuate
book reading in the reading areas I would provide:) But there would be a
special menu where full entrée’s could be ordered and “comfort food” would be
served. Now, for me comfort food is Southern cooking (i.e. biscuits, gravy etc.
etc.) But I would have chefs, whose purpose is to diversify the special menu
and provide the specific “comfort food” that is sought in countries throughout
the world:) My desire is that everyone has a little taste of home!
2) If
Dasheen found $100 that she could mail to anyone anonymously, whom would she
send it to?
Answer: Probably Jordan
her brother, her whole focus is to protect and take care of her younger
brother. If she didn’t feel it would be possible psychologically cruel (because
their father is missing presumed dead), then she would label it from their
father to give Jordan some comfort that their father is out there with Jordan
on his mind…
3) In an alternate world, which of your
characters could be an Olympic athlete?
Answer: Belladonna (The
Natural born vampire in Night School Vampire Hunter)…although she is the most
likely to have others do most likely…”everything” for her:); she being
extremely prone to appearance, fashion, and avoids all that appears
physically straining, Belladonna, due to
her nature is extremely strong, fast and athletic.
4) What do you find most rewarding about
being a YA author?
Answer: YA genre is
full of (for the most part) innocence, magic and fantasy. I get to divulge
myself in those worlds, tell the stories that are inside and basically have
lots of fun:)
5) If you could snap
your fingers and change one thing about yourself, what would it be?
Answer: wow…after all
these years, that question actually stumps me…I am finally very comfortable
with who I am, and my life. I like who I am and my life:) That wasn’t always
the case, so I am experiencing a sort of epiphany at this moment. , lol…
But I would say, if I
could change anything, it would be to do the things I love (writing/publishing)
on a full time basis….but that will come:)
6) Which four authors,
dead or alive, would you like to invite over for dinner?
Answer: Shakespeare,
Sylvia Plath, Stephanie Meyers, Christine Feehan
Michelle
Cornwell-Jordan is a book lover, with YA paranormal adventures as her favorite
genre,although she can be a glutton for any young adult title. Michelle’s other
love is writing, Michelle has been writing about as long as she has been a
bibliophile! Losing herself in a fantasy world that she, or others have created
is how she loves spending her spare time...
One last
thing about Michelle, she believes that she has her own secret powers:)
