Turning The Tables On You
The Follower Contest is still going on and I've decided to modify the prize. Not only will I do a full manuscript critique for one winner, but I will also do a three chapter (or 20K words) critique for a runner up.
If by some fluke I reach 200 followers by next Wednesday, I will add a third prize.
And behold there was a third prize and Maria saw that it was good. 3rd prize will be a crit of your query IF I reach 200 followers by 1-26-11. (I was a copywriter in my early days. Queries are like honey to me.)

FAQs, the Author Page
The questions you guys lobbed at me on my last post should be mandatory on all bios. Especially the sex questions from Marguerite Butler and Meghan Schuessler.
Meghan asked which celebrity I'd let my husband spend one night with and which celebrity I'd choose for myself.
Are you kidding? ROTFL! I'm a jealous creature by nature. And Greg wants to keep all his body parts so of course he will decline. As for me, can my celebrity put up fences for me? Cuz that's what I really need.
Marguerite was even bolder and asked which celebrity I would marry, boink and kill. All I can say is I do not want to get drunk with Marguerite. I'm liable to get arrested and end up in a Brazilian brothel.
The answer to Marguerite's questions are:
1. Who would I marry?
Oh, hell no. Once is enough.
2. Who would I boink?
Ahem... a lady doesn't kiss and tell. But considering it's me, I guess it's safe. Let's see, I like strong, confident men, so I'll choose Russell Crowe. He looks like he could keep up with me.
3. Who would I kill?
Can't I just pick someone else to boink? Killing is so messy. I never know what to do with the bodies. And I feel bad I left out Gerard Butler for question #2. He looks healthy too.
PS: Greg, I was only kidding about Russell Crowe and Gerard Butler--unless they're handy with a shovel. We do need to build a road to the back forty. :o)

BUT i think Ewan McGregor is always down for a good time.
My alter ego might have been a groupie in her former life but now the list is endless.
my alter ego wants
Enrique iglesias
Johnny Depp
Lebron James
Anderson Cooper - I can settle for best buds
Ashton Kutcher
La Reynoldss
Juanes
Edward not RPatz
Peter Facinelli
Alexander Skarsgard
John Legend
Kristofer Pollaha
this list can go on, but it belongs to my alter ego who still wants to take a nap. I just borrow her list to use as inspiration for my MCs
But I hear you on celebrities. They're fun to lust after, but unless they can drive a tractor or build me a barn, it will have to remain lust from afar.
Oh, and I have to confess to a crush on Keith Olbermann as well. Smart. Funny. That voice...
:D
Marguerite: It scares me how much we think alike. Are you sure we haven't spent some jail time together too?
Kim: Oh, rats. I forgot about Hugh Jackman. He looks like he can wield a shovel.
*drags on a smoke*
I am always more interested in the characters than the people who play them, but Ryan Reynolds comes to mind. Pretty and funny.
And I'll confess to mad crushes on Richard Armitage and Daniel Craig.
Another one of my favorites is Eddie Cahill.
Oh my, oh my. Marguerite's questions could get me in some MAJOR trouble.
:looks over shoulder:
1) Um, already married so unless DH is up for a menage, and we can find a place where it's legal...
2) Well, I'm not the kiss and tell type but in no order --
Gerard Butler
Clive Owen
Adrian Paul
Hugh Jackman
Hmm...all have accents. Me thinks I see a pattern.
3) Aw, I really don't want to have to kill someone. Like you say Maria, it's so messy. Though the bodies aren't a problem, just drive it out to the desert, LOL
Barbara: You know when the art department asked for my ideas of men to model for Grey in Touch Of Fire, I told them think of Hugh Jackman with big muscles. :)
Linda: Ah, the cerebral choice. But not much good for ditch digging. I'll put you down for one Patrick Stewart (and shoes).
Dru: Clooney! A classic never goes out of style. I forgot about him.
Marguerite: If they put us in jail, I'm sure there would be a VERY good reason for it. We are dangerous women after all.
Ref: Brittany? Really? Was he drunk when he said this? LOL!
***
Susan: Jackman is bound for perennial greatness. I don't know how I managed to leave him out of my initial list. (He has a strong back too.)
***
Sherri: Thank you! Crowe it is. I like a man with experience.
Ref: you choices
I like accents myself. They go well with six-packs. :grin:
Oh, hell no. Once is enough.
I absolutely agree. I always tell my DH that he doesn't ever have to worry -- if he dies, I'm never marrying again. :-)
Hmmm... not a Gerard Butler or Russell Crowe fan, and most of the other good-looking guys are wicked young. Oh, what the heck. I'll be a cougar and take Ryan Reynolds.
:-)
I used to have a huge crush on Billy Crudup. My sisters and I planned his kidnapping outside the Broadway stage door, but then settled for his autograph and a picture.
These days, give me an intelligent guy who can make me laugh. Jon Stewart would do nicely.
That's in the parallel universe where, instead of 'I do,' I said, 'Give me a decade to think about it.'
Catie: Ref: intelligent guy who can make me laugh.
Absolutely! After the hot sex and multiple orgasms, I want a guy who can make me laugh and then make me dinner. Is that asking too much? ;-)
Do you know, I got the idea for the follower contest from you and then forgot where I got the idea. Geesh. Am I sure I have enough grey matter to write the next book? Mommy brain sucks. Let me know if Russell or Hugh are up to fixing your fence. We don't have fields, but the house could certainly use a new garage door and I think Hugh would be capable. ;D
Jennifer: Why do I get the feeling your hubby has Patrick Dempsey eyes? :wink:
Angelina: LOL. Just remember, they put on their pants (and take them off) just like normal mortals.
oh and James Denton
and also Rupert Friend and Orlando Bloom (with dark hair and moustaches);O)
Madeleine: So many men, so little time. :) But an excellent list.
