Yet more giveaways

Okay, so it's day three of Inside The Character's Studio at TFC and we're going to be talking to Holly Evans, recently deceased and main character in YOU HAD ME AT HALO. But before Holly begins I feel it my duty as her author to warn you all that she's a talker...of course I could edit it, but since I've had to live with her in my head for such a long time, I feel it only right that I share it around!!

Anyway, to win a copy of YOU HAD ME AT HALO all you need to do is leave a comment and I'll randomly choose a winner.

1. What is your favorite word? What. No, I’m not being facetious, I just really like saying ‘what’ a lot. Sometimes I wonder if it makes people think I have hearing difficulties, but whatever (hehe – see what I did that. Oh my God, I did it again. I’m too funny!)

2. What is your least favorite word? No. Probably because I seem to be hearing it a lot lately. No, Miss Evan just because you’re dead you can’t go see your father yet. No, Miss Evans, you can’t go and haunt someone just because they were once a cow to you. No, Miss Evans you can’t…

3. What turns you on creatively, spiritually or emotionally? Freedom to be myself.

4. What turns you off? Liars. Why can’t people just do what it says on the packet?

5. What is your favorite curse word? Bloody - though my stupid author edited it out of the final manuscript.

6. What sound or noise do you love? The theme tune to my favorite soap opera, The Rich and The Restless. Actually, that’s the worst thing about dying – God doesn’t have cable.

7. What sound or noise do you hate? You know that squidging noise your shoes make on the hospital floor? I hate that. Before my dad died, he was really sick and every time I heard that noise it normally meant someone was coming to tell me bad news.

8. What profession other than your own would you like to attempt? Okay, confession time. Before I died I loved my job at Baker and Colwell. I mean sure the work was hard and the hours were long. Very long (and okay, between you and me I didn’t always understand what I was meant to be doing, but that’s normal right?). But the longer I’m dead, the less I can see the point of it all so perhaps I’ll start looking around for something else. I do like watching television, so perhaps something in that?

9. What profession would you not like to do? Computer technician. Vince, the guy whose body I managed to get stuck in, is one and let me tell you that they don’t get treated very well by anyone. Not that Vince cares, since he seems to stick to himself a lot, but it’s starting to bug me. I mean he’s a nice guy – a bit geeky and don’t even get me started on his bad fashion sense (who wears Doc Martins anymore?) but overall, a nice guy. He doesn’t deserve to be treated like he’s the bottom of the food chain.

10. If Heaven exists, what would you like to hear God say when you arrive at the Pearly Gates ? Okay, people listen up good because I’m afraid I’ve got some bad news for you. There are no pearly gates in heaven, instead there is a horrible reception area that looks like something from an airport and as for God, yeah right, you’ve got as much chance of seeing the big guy as you do of going straight to Level Three. In other words, it isn’t going to happen. And don’t even get me started on how unorganised the whole place is. I mean they sent me back to earth in a guy’s body. While the guy was still in. Unbelievable. However, I’ve just re-read the question and realized you wanted me to ‘pretend’ that all is good up above, so I will try my hardest to put aside my trauma and pretend that it’s the celestial paradise of the postcards. And if that was the case, then I’d just like the big guy to tell me that I hadn’t messed up.
