*~*Houston Author Event – Author Spotlight Day 9: Tara Sivec & TWO Giveaways*~*

I was super excited to be asked by Emily of Lalone Marketing to take part in an ‘Author Speed Dating’ event right before the signing. Basically, each blogger that participated would get 5 minutes to talk to all 10 authors – hello! Yes, please! I was so excited because I’ve done interviews before but never in person – this was both amazing and scary at the same time, but it was an absolutely wonderful experience.

So, each day for the next two weeks, I’ll be spotlighting one of the authors that I got to sit down and chat with last Saturday – in case you missed it, last week we had S.C. Stephens, J. Sterling, Amanda Bennett, Jillian Dodd and Rebecca Donovan.  Monday we had Carey Heywood, Tuesday it was Erin Noelle’s turn, yesterday we had Rebecca Shea and today we have the always amazing and fabulous Tara Sivec.  I have known Tara for about a year (I actually ‘officially’ met her last year at the Columbus, OH signing)…and while she doesn’t think she is funny, she never fails to leave me in stitches.  She is totally one of my favorite humans in the world…she’s completely unpretentious, what you see is what you get with her and she’s a million different kinds of awesome, dipped in fun and topped off with Sour Cream and Cheddar Ruffles – or meth, depending on your preference.  (That will make more sense later… 🙂  )

We asked last week on our Facebook page for some questions for the authors – so I tried to incorporate as many of them as I could into the interview…I added the name of whoever ‘asked’ the question! Now…let’s get to the interview… 🙂
