HobbitFest! Blog Hop

Today I am playing in the Shire along with fellow author (amazing author) M. Pax and friends. All of us have answered four hobbity questions and, while you can find my answers below, the rest can be hopped to via the lovely linky list. SO tuck in for some second breakfast...or elevensies...or supper, and have a hairy-toed day!

What is your favorite hobbit characteristic/or the one that you think closely resembles you . . .?

I, like many a hobbit, prefer underground homes and staying put at home. Since I live above ground, I have to settle for the latter. I'm not likely to be out and about unless absolutely necessary. 

If you could choose between a scrumptious second breakfast and a perilous unexpected journey – which would you prefer?

Second breakfast. In my younger years perhaps....no, it probably would have been breakfast then too.

Have you ever left behind something on a journey (expected or unexpected) and wished you could have it over and over again? (a pocket handkerchief?)

Oddly enough, a ring. I once left a white gold and ruby ring behind during a move. It was far too lovely not to think about from time to time and sniffle. 

What is your Favorite part or quote from the book that you hope will be in the movie?


Dragon. Lots and lots of dragon. Dragon dragon dragon. So long as they get Smaug right and often, I'll be happy....though, after seeing some of the pre-release PR, I have to say, lots of Balin works for me too. Like, wow. Who ever would have suspected a yummy dwarf?

Okay, that's me in a hobbit nutshell. Now, off to the others, and don't forget to poke around here a little as well, or even better, sign up for the newsletter in the sidebar for new release info and cover reveals.
