1. Hi Toby, what’s your favorite cocktail? I’ll have the cabana boys whip one up for you while I ask you some stupid, I mean important questions.<\/div>\n
It used to be the mai-tai, but I developed a sensitivity to pineapple juice, alas, so now it’s the mojito! I’m making do, ha ha!<\/strong><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
2. I would cry without pineapple! What is your favorite swimwear? Do you favor bikinis, one-pieces or are you a secret skinny dipper?<\/div>\n
I grew up hippie, so I’ve been known to frolic under waterfalls in my birthday suit! The rest of the time, I’m into function, not tanning, as I’m a freckly redhead, so I wear a swimmer’s tank suit. I love doing laps in the ocean!<\/strong><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
3.\u00a0 When you’re not doing laps what would be your favorite beach read? (not your own of course…)<\/div>\n
Hmmm, that’s a tough one! I’m currently enjoying all the Lei Crime Kindle World novellas. They’re great beach reads!<\/strong><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
4. If you could have any accent in the world, which one would you choose?<\/div>\n
Ah, mais oui. le francais of course! What’s sexier than a French accent? Not much!<\/strong><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
5. Oui, oui! You’re stuck on a deserted island after a three hour tour that goes awry. Name six people alive or dead that you’d like to be marooned with…and your fantasy castaway meal.<\/div>\n
Oh my goodness. Well, this is actually a discussion my husband and I’ve had as we are Survivor (the TV show) fans. I’d actually take my husband. He’s incredibly handy. He’d build us a shelter, climb a coconut tree and get us nuts for juice and food, and then catch fish, make fires, and give me\u00a0midnight<\/span><\/span>\u00a0kisses too. He cooks up a mean lobster and fish meal right in the sand, seasoning with salt and limu…That’s my fantasy meal! I scored when I nabbed him thirty years ago!<\/strong><\/div>\n
After that, I’d have to be very picky because as a writer, I’m not actually that social. I mean, I can do it, for short bursts, but I’d hope on our island, we’d have room for everyone to have their own huts and just meet for meals. So then, I’d have my good friend Holly and her husband for intellectual company. She writes women’s fiction and he’s a robotics engineer. He could develop a water system for us run by wind power or something, and Holly and I could talk books.<\/strong><\/div>\n
I’d really also like essayist Ellen Meloy, who’s deceased now. She writes about nature and I’d like to study with her, perhaps write about our desert island and what we see and compare notes. Then, Ray Bradbury because he seems like he’s a riot and what a wonderfully divergent thinker. And in the evenings, I’d have Steven King creep us out around the fire with scary stories.\u00a0<\/strong><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
I love all of these authors. And your answers. Thanks for your time, Toby!<\/div>\n
