1. Why do you drink ice cold coffee when you live in the freakin frozen tundra of New Hampshire? — I always have to have a drink at hand or I feel like I’m dying of thirst. A Dunkin Donuts iced coffee is larger than their largest hot coffee. Plus, while I adore iced coffee, I can’t drink cold hot coffee. 2. How many books will you have out this year? What are their titles? What are they about? When are they releasing? — Well, On the Edge released March 27th. Taming Eliza Jane—the sexy historical western romantic comedy—releases June 12th. That’s it for new releases. The Devlin Group: Adrenaline, the print book containing the two DG stories, comes out in June and TEJ will release in print in November. 3. What’s your favorite genre to write in? — I guess that depends on which day of the week it is. There are things I enjoy about each of the subgenres I’ve written in, but I think the one that has come most naturally to me is the sexy historical western romantic comedy. (And if that book comes up again in this TT, I will be referring to its subgenre as the SHWRC.) 4. What are you working on now? — My Thursday Thirteen. 5. Is Gallagher done YET? How about now? C’mon, now? — Not yet. Nope. And…no. 6. Obviously you’re NOT going for nipple piercing–do you have any other piercings or even a tattoo? What do you think of them–on men or women….? — My ears are pierced. My husband has his faded USMC tattoo. That’s about it for our body art. As for other people, sometimes I think piercings and tattoos are beautiful and sometimes I think the person needs to lay off the booze. I think you can tell on some level if a person decorated themselves because it’s totally them or if they’re trying to be somebody else, and that influences my feelings. I don’t care for pierced genitals in my romances—writing or reading. 7. Since nipple piercings are out, can we talk about clit piercings instead? NO! Why are you doing this to me? 8. Is the Widowmaker done yet? — Umm…no. *shuffles feet shamefully* I’ll kick it back up the to-do list. I love that story. 9. Do you need more Doritos? — I always need more Doritos. Although I accidentally bought a bag of the super-spicy ones (WHY are they both packaged in red? I also accidentally bought Cherry Coke) and my taste buds are still charred. 10. What’s the meaning of life, other than getting your hands on all the unfound Easter candy? — Dammit. Told ya. The meaning of life is to be a sit-com for a higher power with a freakin’ bizarre sense of humor. And to teach my sons the joy of singing really bad karaoke into a serving spoon in the kitchen with the curtains open without giving a shit who sees them. 11. What’s your favourite type of shoe? — My absolute favorite shoe is the Teva Mush flip-flop. As soon as the snow melts… 12. What do I have to do to become Shannon Stacey when I grow up? — Rummage through my garbage, steal my mail and VOILA! You too can be me. It won’t get you much, though. 13. If you were a superhero what would your superpower be? (and what would your costume look like…include fab superhero shoes please *g*) — I hate to be unoriginal, but I’d totally be a Wonder Woman knock-off. I never wanted to be anybody but her. A tiara AND a bustier? How cool is that? I’d prefer some nice capris instead of the granny panties, though, and I’d break my neck in those boots. I guess I’d be Wonder Woman from the waist up, with Old Navy capris and Teva Mush flip-flops from the waist down. Like I’d only spun around one and a half times instead of a full three.

Cute list, Shannon. And number 7: Ouch. lol
Comment
I agree with you on the piercings. No Way I could do it and I certainly can’t talk about it.
I loved that list and hey I was wondering… is Gallagher’s story done now? LOL
Also, how could a reader (ME) persuade an author (YOU) to give a reader (ME again) an ARC of a book (Gallagher’s Story) an author (YOU Again) has yet to write?
I’m not above begging, pleading and bribing if need be BTW.

Since nipple piercings are out, can we talk about clit piercings instead?
SHUDDER Double hell no.

Loved #10. Nothing adds meaning to life more than bad karaoke (and chocolate):nod:.
Comment
Great answers, Shan! I couldn’t come up with 13 anything today. :doh:
Comment
LOL.
I think the iced coffee thing will be me when I’m living in the UK.

Just a couple weeks ago, my best friend got it in her head that she wanted to get her hood (clit) pierced and tried to talk me into it. Ha! No one is going to put needles in that area…ever! So reading that on this list made me think about my friend and laugh!
Great list! Happy TT!

Also, how could a reader (ME) persuade an author (YOU) to give a reader (ME again) an ARC of a book (Gallagher’s Story) an author (YOU Again) has yet to write?
Well…
The author (ME) would suggest that the reader (YOU) travel into the future (2008?) and get a copy of the book (Gallagher’s story), bring it back here (2007) and give it to the author (ME again), who will then copy and paste it into a computer file (Word) and submit it to her editor (Angie), who will then edit it so the author (again, ME) can give an ARC of the book (Gallagher’s story) to the reader (that would be YOU) even though the author (ME) has yet to write it.
Although…the reader (YOU again) wouldn’t need an ARC of the book (Gallagher’s story) from the author (ME again) if the reader (YOU) went into the future (2008?) and got a copy.
:crazy:
Either way, I guess I still have to actually write it.
Comment
That whole Back To The Future thing made me kinda nauseous, Shan.
:crazy:
Comment
People are talking about sticking needles through…parts of the body NOT meant to encounter sharp objects, and THAT made you nauseous?
:lmao:
Comment
OMG — between the BTTF thing and the needles through unmentionables things and which makes people more nauseated…
:lmao:
I needed this today. Really.
Comment
*g* This was one of the best Thursday 13’s ever! LOL I love the answers.
I’m too blonde to not be confused a bit by your response to the ARC question LOL
Comment
ROFL – well that was hilarious and I’m talking about the whole Reader (not YOU but Jenn) and Author (YOU not ME) thing. Wait, what? You know what I mean! Heehee. :whip: get writing that damn story woman!
Comment
Oh, man, I’m sorry to have bowed out of TT this week! What a great idea for a list. I love the spicy Doritos and Cherry Coke, though. I’ll take coffee hot or cold–however I can get it, as strong as I can get it!!
Comment
So… where was the Easter chocolate?
Comment
Did my first Thursday 13!
