This is a great question!

I have a list of dumb questions for the administrators, starting with: where is The Wall? Is this it? Is it somewhere else? I know I should know these things, but haven't figured some things out yet.

This is The Wall! And we are all just bricks in it and stuff like that.

Thanks, you guys, for the awesome questions! Keep them coming! I think I might have to make the zombie apocalypse question a regular thing! I love it! (Though I probably shouldn't admit how many tries it took me to spell apocalypse correctly!)

Yes. Everyone should be prepared for the zombie popaclyspe 8)

(Seriously, I have spelled it almost that bad before, I've just had to check the spelling so much that it's stuck now :lol: )

Lol, some years ago I had fun talking about the ALPACAlype (you've probably seen those llama pictures in the net :D ) so nowadays I have trouble too spelling this correctly!

Anyway, great topic, I had so much fun reading those questions and I bet the answers would'be even better to check. Here are some of my questions:

How do you imagine your Muse?

Who is your favourite Star Trek captain? :mrgreen:

If you could get any actor (including now desceased actors) to star in a movie made after your book - who would that be?

For some reason, "popaclyspe" made the music video to Michael Jackson's "Thriller" come into my head! Now I can't stop humming the song!

My question: What advice or encouragement would you give to new authors?

Do any of the books you write come from your own childhood or from your own experience?

I'm having the hardest time converting files to the .mobi format to read on my Kindle. Several books are being sent to me with this strange extension.acsm. Has anyone else had this problem and if so how did they managed to get it converted. I've been pulling my hair out. I even called Amazon and that was a serious waste of time.

Please advise, Thanks!
