Here is the synopsis:<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>After Trevor Morgan became paralyzed in an accident, a new physical therapist was<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>hired to try to help him. Can Jayce Harley, a home and hearth Brownie, who travels<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>around trying to help others with his powers, find his home with Trevor?<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>~~~<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>Well, I could ask Dani about this story and all kinds of intelligent things, but I like<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>stupid. And I have an abundance of idiotic questions. So here goes!<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>1. Hi Dani! What\u2019s your favorite cocktail? I\u2019ll have the cabana boys whip one up for<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>you while I ask you some stupid, I mean important questions. First of all, though, I\u2019d<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>like to ask how you are doing. You\u2019ve had a death in the family, and you are dealing<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>with health issues, which is why we are all participating in the Uncontrolled Chaos<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>Anthology. As the guys whip up a drink for you could you please tell us what\u2019s been<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>going on?<\/strong><br \/>\nNot much. Lying around like the bed bug that I am. Trying to stay out of trouble, but<br \/>\nthat damn idiot keeps coming back with friends and I get blamed for it! So, my fav<br \/>\ndrink (when I\u2019m not on meds) is a Long Island Iced Tea.<\/p>\n<p><strong>2. Yum! Who do you know that is most likely to have been abducted by aliens?<\/strong><br \/>\nOh, (waves hands in the air madly) pick me, pick me!! I wanna go play in space with<br \/>\nthe aliens. Maybe if I can find my own medical pod, it could fix my spine! None of this<br \/>\nwaiting for some damn human doctor.<\/p>\n<p><strong>3. If you could go back in time and be anybody in history, who would it be?<\/strong><br \/>\nDo I only have to pick one??? Alexander the Great, Cleopatra, Abraham Lincoln, so<br \/>\nmany fascinating people in history.<\/p>\n<p><strong>4. You\u2019re stuck on a deserted island after a three-hour tour which goes awry. Name six<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>people alive or dead you\u2019d enjoy being marooned with \u2013 and what would be your<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>fantasy castaway meal?<\/strong><br \/>\nGotta have Steak &amp; Lobster (no fish as I\u2019m deathly allergic to it). With a really good<br \/>\nchocolate cake for desert, can never have too much chocolate!<br \/>\nNow, who to have with me\u2026I\u2019d love to have the folks I mentioned above: Alexander<br \/>\nthe Great, Cleopatra, Abraham Lincoln, Freddy Mercury, JFK, and Aristotle. Could you<br \/>\nimagine the dinner conversation with them??<\/p>\n<p><strong>5. I want to be marooned with you! Last question. If you were all stuck for some time, which of your guests would you all eat first?<\/strong><br \/>\nProbably Cleopatra, since (other than me) she\u2019d probably have the most meat on her<br \/>\nbones\u2026LOL!<\/p>\n<p><strong>Dani Gray: I\u2019ve been an avid reader for as long as I can remember. I still remember one<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>of the first books I read, it was the Bobbsey Twins. As I got older, I moved into more the<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>interesting books, but some of the typo\u2019s made me nuts! So, after contacting writers I<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>started a career of where I began content editing (I wouldn\u2019t know good grammar if it<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>bit me in the glutes), beta reading and brainstorming. After being harassed for a couple<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>of years by some of the writers, I gave in and have now begun to write. <\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>I live in central Canada with my hubby of over 30 years, 4 kids, and 6 grandkids. We<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>have a collection of pets, including our guard cat. I love nothing more than curling up<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>with a good book, or my laptop to work on the next thing that catches the muse, much<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>to the hubby\u2019s frustration. I would love to hear from readers!<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Dani Gray\u2019s links:<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>Website: https:\/\/www.authordanigray.com<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>Email: authordanigray@gmail.com<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>Tiktok: https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/@authordanigray<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>Facebook: https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/author.dani.gray<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&nbsp; It\u2019s Tiki Time!
