Chips, chocolate or cheese?
CHOCOLATE! Like there was really ever any doubt.
Bridget Jones, Becky Bloomwood or Carrie Bradshaw?
Bridget Jones. I like a girl with a little meat on her bones, like me.
Wine, beer or vodka?
Wine – Chardonnay if you have it, but only one glass. I’m a sleepy drunk. ;)
Camping or spa vacation?
Spa vacation and soon, please.
Water or mountains?
Water. I live less than 2 miles from the beach.
Zombies or vampires?
Neither sounds like a great option, but I guess I’ll go with vampires. Those movies make them seem kinda hot.
Dogs or cats?
Neither. I’m not a pet person.
Coke or Pepsi?
Neither. I try to avoid genetically modified foods where possible. If I go for a soda, it’s something with cane sugar.
Coffee or tea?
Tea. I’ve never had a cup of coffee in my life. I tried a sip once and didn’t like it, so I never tried it again.
Dine out or take away?
Dine out whenever possible. The less I have to clean up, the better.
High heels, sneakers or flip flops?
Flip flops. See #5 above.
Physical Book or ebook?
Physical books are always preferred, although I now tend to read more on my iPad mini.
Paperback or Hardcover?
Paperback
Pen or pencil?
Pen – a thin black Sharpie if possible.
Mad Men, Downton Abbey or Breaking Bad?
Mad Men all the way. Love, LOVE, LOVE! me some Don Draper!
Drama or comedy?
Comedy. Life’s too short (and sad) not to have a good laugh when you can.
Twilight or Hunger Games?
I’m not familiar with either of these franchises.
Lipstick, lipgloss or chapstick?
Lip gloss.
Facebook or Twiter?
Facebook. Twitter requires brevity and I tend to be long winded.
Plot your entire novel or fly by the seat of your pants?
Plot your entire novel. I usually know the beginning and end and sometimes the middle surprises me.

clutch: a novel
Clutch is the laugh-out-loud, chick lit story that chronicles the dating misadventures of Caroline Johnson, a single purse designer, who goes through a series of unsuccessful romantic relationships she compares to various styles of handbags – the “Hobo” starving artist, the “Diaper Bag” single dad, the “Briefcase” intense businessman, etc. With her best friend, bar owner Mike by her side, the overly-accommodating Caroline drinks Chardonnay, puts her heart on the line, endures her share of unworthy suitors and finds the courage to stand up for the handbag style that embodies what she ultimately wants – the “Clutch” or someone to hold onto.
