Y'all know how this works better than me. If you want me to give you the questions, just comment with the words "Come at me, Bro!" and I will give you five. Mine are courtesy of

1. What makes you write?
I have always loved to read, and since I have a hugely active imagination, it seemed to be the next best thing. Now, I write because I just love doing it - I love taking the whispered words of my Muse and translating them to paper. I am determined to get my stuff published properly, not just through lulu, one day. This is what I would do for a living, if I could indeed make a living from it. It's like a vocation; I have to do it every day.
2. Tigers or lions? And why?
What a cool question - and a hard one! While I love tigers for their sheer beauty, the lioness is just too cool. She works hard for the money, takes no shit off the male, and is so beautiful and tough. She provides for her babies, keeps her man in line, and seems to get along pretty good with the rest of the harem while the dude is off showing off his bits to the other lions and trying to get more girls.
3. Do you think space exploration is a waste of money? Why/why not?
I think it is, now. Not that I think it is a waste of money, per se, I think it takes money away from things that are needed here on earth. It's rather hard to justify trying to see what's 'out there' when we aren't looking too carefully at what's 'down here'.
4. What is your favourite piece of jewellery?
It's a lovely piece of quartz crystal with seven small cabochons representing the chakras, encased in silver and running down its length. I got it from France, and I always feel good when I wear it. I rarely wear jewelry, but I do love it, especially necklaces and rings. I love semi-precious stones, like turquoise and malachite.
5. What creepy-crawly are you most scared of?
Spiders, without a doubt. Ron and I are copacetic on that one! Here in the South, we have quite a problem with black widows getting in the house, and I am mortally afraid of them and brown recluse spiders. Even our proper British cats leave them alone!
