Fun with Tamara Heiner

In case you missed it, yesterday I blogged about Tamara Heiner's book, Perilous. Today, Tamara's stopped by to play "getting to know you," one of my favorite things to do with authors!

Desert Island Food: What’s the one thing you couldn’t ever give up? 
Oh, this is a hard one. I love food. LOVE IT. I’m gonna go with strawberries.
Ooooh, love strawberries! Though, I'd have to go with... sushi :)

Guilty Pleasure: What’s one movie/TV show you love, but are embarrassed to admit it? (Come on. You tell me yours, I’ll tell you mine!) 
Well, I’m kind of proud of this, though some people look at my funny. Battlestar Galactica. THE ORIGINAL SERIES.
Okay, honestly, I kinda think that's a cool answer. I've never seen it, myself, but most of my writerly friends love it! So I wish I had watched it... (Mine's Gossip Girl.)

What were the first words out of your mouth when you found out your book was going to be published? 
Trying to remember. I’m sure I called my mom, but I would’ve played it real cool and said something like, “Well, I got a contract.”
Haha! Dude, I have no idea how you played it cool. I probably would have been jumping around and, you know, dancing something like:


Where’s your dream vacation spot?
Somewhere in Italy.
Nice pick! That's up there for me too. The Amalfi Coast. Yes, please.

Who’s your male celebrity crush?
(Um, for the record, I so call dibs on Ryan Reynolds and Jared Leto, but the rest are up for grabs!)
I’m lame, I don’t have one! If I were 16, I’d have a total crush on Zac Efron…but I’m not 16!
Well, for the record, I'm *pretty* sure Zac's legal. I mean, I wouldn't know for sure. (Yes I would. He was born October 18, 1987)

And, who’s your fantasy celebrity best friend?
(Mine’s Jennifer Aniston—but, in this case, I’m willing to share ;) 
Taylor Swift. LOVE her.
Nice! Yes! She's amazing :)

Favorite book(s)? 
A Rustle in the Grass by Robin Hawdon.
I'll definitely have to check this one out!

And finally, what do you see in this inkblot??? 
A woman with a pineapple on her head doing a dance. She’s also wearing a hula skirt and hoop earrings.
Much more creative answer than mine: A crab wearing a crown, lol.





Thanks for stopping by Tamara! It's been a blast to be a part of your tour :) Good luck!

And for the rest of you: Check out the trailer for Perilous!!

  1. Such fun questions! Love the answers too, Tamara! (except for not having a celebrity crush. What?? Oh, it's because Ryan Reynolds was taken. Got it.) I can't wait to read my copy of Perilous.

  2. This was fun! I love Battlestar Galactica, Tamara - it's so good. Silly girl, Terry! She doesn't have a celeb crush because I already have dibs on Denzel Washington!
