8. RH (Rhonda) Ramsey
Rhonda is the author of
Just Beneath The Surface. She saw the first "Ten Authors Twenty Questions," and wanted to take part in the second one. Yes, I'm that easy. Just ask!
1. Love or money?Love – always love
2. Plain or peanut?Can I actually pick macadamia? If not, I will go with plain...
3. Beef or chicken?It used to be beef, then it was chicken, now it’s back to beef. Unless it’s shredded beef – if it’s shredded beef, I will choose chicken.
4. Coffee or tea?Definitely tea, unless there’s some sort of caramel cappuccino option.
5. Oxford comma: yes or no?Umm .. I think not. It was for some reason difficult for me to remember. Now that it’s ingrained, there’s no turning back.
6. Hardback or Kindle?Kindle, please!
7. Salty or sweet?
Salty!!! (It’s really not even normal, anymore)
8. City or country?I’d have to say: City with a country feel or country town with a city feel.
Hmmm...that might be cheating...9. Dog or cat?Euw! That’s tough – definitely love puppies; I’ve always had dogs growing up. But I will go with cat, because they are so independent, moody and fun to watch.
10. Fame or fortune?Fortune (and favor from above) would be just fine by me without fame.
11. Laptop or desktop?Laptop! I am all about convenience.
12. Health food or junk food?I’ve been known to find ways to combine the two. Not in a way that they would cancel each other out, but just enough to spice things up.
That's a good compromise.13. Mountains or beach?Mountains...
14. Gourmet or diner?Diner.
15. Sweet or unsweet? (Tea of course.)Definitely sweet. The expression on my face when I order sweet and end up sipping unsweet is probably priceless. Sort-of happens often for some reason come to think of it.
Oh yeah...I hate when that happens!
16. Humor or drama?Drama – that’s the genre I’m drawn to with music, reading, movies and writing. But then, again, there’s nothing like a good stand-up comic.
17. Dr. Seuss or Mr. Spock?Dr Seuss. “Today you are You, that is truer than true. There is no one alive who is Youer than You.”
“Fantasy is a necessary ingredient in living, it's a way of looking at life through the wrong end of a telescope.”
18. Halloween or Christmas?Definitely Christmas. Halloween costumes are cute. But for me, there’s nothing like the reason for the season, the music, the smiles on the faces of children – I would have to say Christmas.
19. Spring or fall?That’s a difficult one for me. I’m a December baby and I love winter. I’m not a fan of summer. I enjoy spring rain showers. But I really love the fall foliage – it does something to the senses.
20. Morning or night?Sadly, I find that I’m a lot like Smeagol when I first wake up. No matter how much caffeine I get my hands on, I really don’t feel as if the “day” has started until around 11 p.m. I’ve always been a night owl, and now that I am an adult, I find that the wee hours are the best time for me to brainstorm and create.
