About me: You can read the professional--ha!--version of my bio on website at www.marciacolette.com. Let's get down to the fun stuff, shall we?
Everyone says I have a bubbly personality, but I just don't see it. I play off the people around me and my goal is to get at least one laugh out of everyone in my vicinity. A lot of writers have a writing companion (or two or three). Mine happens to be a dwarf rabbit who's name is Zoe. HE is a sweetheart. Um...there was a little misunderstanding when I bought him, but the name stuck. He's not complaining, so why should I?
I'm a lover of all things creepy and scary, but fun is by far the best. When it comes to stories, the only boundary I know of is writing a good book.
Who I'd like to meet: Other than fans, editors, agents, and fellow writers? Jesus, Oprah, Alan Rickman, Chow Yun Fat, Maya Angelou, Gandhi, Steven Spielberg, space aliens, Moses, my future children. There are others, but this should do for now.
LOL-that was a fun costume! Will you be at the RWA conference? I think I probably asked you at RT, but I can't remember. And do you have any upcoming releases from Parker?
Some gave None, Some Gave Some,, and some, the bravest of the brave, gave all. Thank you. While having your cookout, don't forget to remember those brave in your thoughts and prayer, for without them, we would not be the great country we are today.
