How many outlines do you normally have at one time?
Follow yup: how do you decide which one to work on first, if you do? And do you ever work on more than one at the same time?

If you could go to dinner with any famous person, living or deceased, who would you choose and why? By the way, this is a fantasy question so the deceased person would be alive at the dinner. :)

Do you think an author should kiss on the first date?

If you could do a "House Of Leaves" thing and go nuts with crazy formatting and cryptic designs, which reviewer would you choose to torture with your mind-warping book?

If you were going to write a retelling/reimagining of a classic what would it be, and how would you evolve it?
Pronouns: She/Her

What is grief, if not love persevering?

Grief is just love with no place to go.

OK, here's one.

On your road to becoming a published author what would you do differently?

Yay, thanks, guys! Don't forget! The questions don't have to be writing/reading related... not all authors are necessarily fiction writers, so a lot of questions, I can't use for some people, and some questions I would ask anyway.

They would have to request an interview through the author's section of the site, I assume. :D
