Catherine McKenzie Stranded on a Desert Island!

If you could only have one book with you, what would it be?

The collected works of Jane Austen. Ha. See what I did there? I have all six novels in one volume so that would keep me occupied for a while.

What one luxury item would you want to be stranded with? 

Is soap a luxury item? Then, soap please.

What is the one practical item you would want to have with you to use?

A headlamp with a battery that recharges with the sun so I always have light.

Would you enjoy the solitude, even briefly, or would it drive you crazy?

I’d like it briefly, but I’m sure it would drive me crazy. Unless, of course, I had Wilson from that Tom Hanks movie. That would keep me sane, for sure.

If you could be stranded with one other person, who would you want it to be?

A complete stranger so I haven’t heard any of their stories yet. And they haven’t heard any of mine.

What modern technology would you miss the most?

My iPhone.

What food or beverage would you miss the most?

Diet Coke.

How many days do you think you would cope without rescue?

Depends on whether I had food and water. Those are kind of essential.

What is the first thing you would do when rescued?

A long, hot shower. While eating a cheeseburger.

What would be your first Tweet or Facebook update upon your return?

The news of my death has been greatly exaggerated. Or wait, maybe Twitter and Facebook would be done by then? Mmmm…


Spun

Life has been rough for starlet Amber since leaving rehab. She’s been two years sober, but no one seems to believe her -- not the gossip media, not casting agents, and most certainly not her spotlight-loving parents. With her friendships ruined by betrayal and her career at a standstill, Amber’s just trying to get her life back on track. It doesn’t help that her former love, movie star Connor Parks, keeps trying to draw Amber back in, not just to their relationship but to his hard-partying ways. One fateful night, Amber breaks down and agrees to join him on board his private jet as it readies for take-off -- a decision that will change her life forever and expose her to a whole new level of scrutiny and heartbreak.
