Life, if you count it as one. Otherwise, earth.
8. As you are about to head into battle, what would your last meal be?
No idea, but something light that wouldn't have me fight on a heavy stomach.
9. Lucky number or sign?
I... honestly don't think I have one.
10. Favorite movie?
Equilibrium, probably.
11. Favorite Video game?
A tough one - if I went by childhood memories, GTA2 would take that place. If I went by total time played, World of Warcraft - for which I'd say Legion was the best time.

Love triangles.
13. Unpopular movie/game/book opinion?

A dragon. Bear if we're talking real animals.
15. What author, DOA, do you most wish you could meet?
Beta team, assemble! Yep, any of my beta swaps. I guess I'm cheating as half of them aren't published yet.
16. Favorite book?
The competitors: Ordination, Dragon Fate and An Empire of Ashes. Ordination for its story, Dragon fate for its characters, and Empire of Ashes for how well it dealt with quite heavy topics.
17. What's your favorite subgenre?
Epic fantasy
18. What is one thing you like doing besides reading/listening to books?
Hiking

When you mentioned your favorite element as life, I went back to captain planet and thought of you asking monkeys for help.

Heart! Hear me friends, I need your help!

lol.
I am thrilled to be a part of your beta team though =D.

Kwame (voiced by LeVar Burton) – Hailing from Africa, Kwame possesses the power of earth.
Wheeler (voiced by Joey Dedio) – From Brooklyn, New York City, United States, Wheeler controls the power of fire.
Linka (voiced by Kath Soucie) – From the Soviet Union (Seasons 1 and 2) and Eastern Europe (Seasons 3-6), Linka has the power of wind.
Gi (voiced by Janice Kawaye) – Hailing from Asia, Gi controls the power of water.
Ma-Ti (voiced by Scott Menville) – From Brazil, Ma-Ti wields the power of heart.
Suchi (vocal effects provided by Frank Welker) – Ma-Ti's pet spider monkey.

Oh, this is fun :)

1. Favorite color?
Blue and grayish blue. All hues of blue.

2. Mountains or beach?
Mountains all the way.

3. Romance or gore?
Both - I like my romance with a bit of gore. I relish 19th century surgery descriptions in historical fiction (yikes, they were painful), plus "Black Hawk Down" would not be complete without the retracted artery scene. But I hate headshots. They scare me out of my wits.

4. Savory or sweet?
Savory during the day, sweet at night.

5. Magic or realism?
Realism. I'm not opposed to magic, though.

6. Favorite season?
Summer.

7. Favorite element? (Fire, Water, etc)
Water - the giver of life.

8. As you are about to head into battle, what would your last meal be?
A protein bar. Scratch that, two protein bars.

9. Lucky number or sign?
If I were headed for a dangerous mission, I'd get a tattoo as a lucky token that said: "We make our own luck".

10. Favorite movie?
So many. "Back to the Future" would be number one, though. I know every line of every part of the trilogy.

11. Favorite Video game?
I like silly platform games that rely heavily on hand-eye coordination. I was the undefeated master of Mario Bros as a kid. 25 years later, I picked up a vintage console and got to level 6 on my first try.
I also beat everyone I met in Guitar Hero/Rock Band - remember those?

12. If you could ban one trope from all future books, what would it be?
Oh, how I hate the "ugly Betty" trope, too. Any kind of makeover that "reveals your hidden beauty" makes my blood boil.

13. Unpopular movie/game/book opinion?
Are you sure this is a safe space to do this? All, right, here goes nothing. I think Stargate was awesome. Watched all installments, all spin-offs. It was better than Starwars. Gosh, I hope I can survive the slew of hate coming my way.

14. If you could have ANY animal for a pet, what would it be?
Once had six pet rats. Not all at once, though. They were super smart, and cute once you get past the pink tail thing. I'd like one again. Alas, my family says 'no'.

15. What author, DOA, do you most wish you could meet?
Never meet your heroes. I bet Jane Austen would turn out to be a real stuck-up. I'd like to talk to Mark Twain and Jules Verne, though. Both at the same time, because, you know, they hated each other.

16. Favorite book?
Again, too many to choose from. I have at least five favorites in each genre I like. I read The Martian in two sittings, and then re-read it three times - so I guess it wins.

17. What's your favorite subgenre?
Romantic suspense/thriller. More suspense, less romance, with big, long action sequences. Several-chapters long. I once found a book like that: six straight chapters of hostage release, kidnapping, explosions, cave-ins, fires, duels, daring rescues. It got really panned by reviewers for that very reason. So, if I ever publish anything, I’m doomed.

18. What is one thing you like doing besides reading/listening to books?
Playing the piano. It gets my creative juices flowing. I always listen to a specific playlist when I write. Each character I write has their own playlist.

Wow, that's amazing. I've never heard of someone creating a playlist for a character. Montaaaage.

Hmm, i think I have rock band in my storage....

a little late to the game, but here we go...

1. Favorite color?
Yellow - all variations
2. Mountains or beach?
how about mountains on the beach... it's a thing, right?
3. Romance or gore?
Romance... although I do get happy when the cheater gets violently ill and might die.
4. Savory or sweet?
Both!
5. Magic or realism?
Realism
6. Favorite season?
I'm in Texas so... not quite deadly hot (I think ya'll call that spring?)
7. Favorite element? (Fire, Water, etc)
Fire!
8. As you are about to head into battle, what would your last meal be?
BBQ

10. Favorite movie?
*dreamy voice The Notebook pshhh! Platoon


13. Unpopular movie/game/book opinion?
Harry potter, all of it every version, is laughable
14. If you could have ANY animal for a pet, what would it be?
a bear

16. Favorite book?
don't have one. weird I know.
17. What's your favorite subgenre?
Suspense or mysteries
18. What is one thing you like doing besides reading/listening to books?
working on our property.

Marcia, its interesting that you don't have a favorite book (at least in our 'writing' neck of the woods). Do you have a favorite author?

There are a lot of different books or authors I have gone back to once or twice, but no favorites. As a girl, V.C. Andrews was my go to, but I think that was more to shock my religious parents.

LOL.

"3. Romance or gore?
Romance... although I do get happy when the cheater gets violently ill and might die."

Oh, I'm behind that 100%!! ;)
