Today's guest on Friday Five...Three...One is Margo Hoornstra, a mother, author, grandmother, resident of the upper Midwest and my fellow author in The Class of 1985 series from The Wild Rose Press. She's here to talk about herself and her new Class of '85 book, To Be or Not.
OK, Margo, take it away...
FIVE FUN FACTS:
- Favorite word: Snuggle. It’s a universal term for closeness and love at all age levels.
- First thing you do in the morning: Brew coffee. Drink coffee. And please don’t speak to me until I do.
- Favorite song to dance to: Head and Shoulders; Knees and Toes with my grandchildren.
- What constitutes a crime against nature: Abuse of an animal by someone they trust.
- Favorite destination: Anywhere on the water. Boating, swimming. Sunbathing, not so much.
THREE QUESTIONS
- What book is on your nightstand? Not as romantic, but how about on my iPad? A Holiday to Remember a progressive contemporary romance written by several talented ladies of The Roses of Prose. www.rosesofprose.blogspot.com
- What would your mother say about today’s underwear choice? Whatever happened to good old fashioned white?
- What scares you most? Losing someone in my family.
ONE SENTENCE
Using these four words, write a sentence: Skeleton. Chocolate. Spa. Files.
Fresh from a two
hour workout at the spa, I scoured some computer files for my latest work in
progress and allowed myself nibbles of the chocolate skeleton left over from
Halloween.
YOUR TURN:
Feel free to give us a teaser about
your new book and information where to find you online.
Blurb: To Be, Or Not
Barry Carlson had it all, a
successful career in professional baseball and the adoration of any woman he
wanted. Except one. Forced to retire in his prime, Barry returns to his
hometown of Summerville, New York to coach the Minor League Hornets.
Twenty years ago, Barry broke
through Amanda Marsh’s trust issues. He melted her ice, won her love, then
walked away without a backward glance to survey the wreckage. Now Amanda is the head of public
relations for the Hornets and
happily single—until Barry slides back into her life.
Still reluctant to trust, Amanda
gives Barry another chance. But the
announcement of their twenty-fifth high school reunion leads to an asinine bet
between Barry and his old buddies, and threatens to ruin their newfound
relationship. As scandals of the past and present converge, can Barry and
Amanda get beyond their differences to find their second chance at love?

Keena,
Thanks for having me here today. It's nice to be among friends.
Great interview! I love your random facts. And I love the premise of your book. Second chance at love stories are always great.
Hi, Margo. Thanks so much for visiting me for Friday Five. Make yourself at home. One question: What did happen to good, old-fashioned white underwear?
Keena, I tried to send a message to you through your link, but it came back "undeliverable" - how can I contact you about a guest blog?
patriciakiyonoauthor(at)gmail(dot)com
I fixed the email link. It should work now.
Patricia,
Keena was the smart one who came up with the questions. All I needed to do was supply the answers. :)
Keena,
The white underwear? My husband has some.
Thanks again for having me here. Glad I could introduce you to Ms. Kiyono.
Oh God, I just checked and they're white. I must be old.
Everyone at Roses of Prose appreciates your comments, Margo. Final chapter by moi is up tomorrow and we'll be posting the whole thing for free in PDF on our websites soon.
I finished To Be, Or Not over the holidays. Ladies, this is a GREAT feel good story. Congrats on another winner, Margo!
Jannine,
Not old, let's say traditional. :)
The final chapter tomorrow? Whatever am I going to do with my mornings now?
So glad you liked To Be, Or Not. To be honest, when I sent in the original proposal way back when, I had no idea what the story would become. I am rather proud of the result.
When do we do another series? Soon, I hope.
What a fun interview and great excerpt! Nice job, Keena & Margo!
Hugs and happy new year!
Sharon
Fun interview ladies. And Margo, I am so with you about the coffee. Don't talk to me in the morning until I've had some!
Jana
Sharon,
Hugs and happy new year to you too!
It was a fun interview to do. I enjoyed it myself.
Thanks, Keena!
Jana,
Thanks for stopping by.
Coffee, the most important meal of the day. :) (My daughter even gave me a nightshirt with those words on it.)
Hi Margo, I'm late to the game. Too much New Year partying...NOT! Enjoyed the blog and especially agree with your answer to what is a crime against nature. So true.
Margo, I'm with you on the coffee, too! And I look forward to getting back into those kid songs in a few years when I have grandchildren (with any luck, in a few years!)
