Q&A With Ava Danielle

Welcome back!!! 

We are going to start a new segment in our blog called 
Q&A With

In this section my favorite authors will be answering some sassy and steamy questions!!

Coming up first we have 

AVA DANIELLE 

What you don't all know is that I have actually met Ava in person!! Yes you read it right.. 
In a parking lot while we exchanged books lol 
Boom there it is! We were FB live!!

And without further BS... here is her Q&A

Describe yourself to me. As if I had never met you before and I had to spot you in the middle of a crowded room.

Answer: At first I’m shy, but once you get to know me, you’ll hear me all the way across the room.

Dianela- Lies!!! Just look at this.. she is crazy all the time!!! 



What do you love about where you live?

Answer: The weather and being close to a lot of other states to drive and visit.


What do you dislike about where you live?


Answer: We ain’t got that kinda time LOL - I just don’t like my neighbors all that much and the fact I’m surrounded by people that don’t seem the smartest - guess that tends to happen when the town is called DICKson πŸ˜€

How’s the family doing?

Answer: Driving me crazy, how else?!
Any furry family members?

Answer: Three cats - Cookie, Cali, and Bella (Cookie is old, Cali is my sweet baby, and Bella is a bitch)

Are you a person who makes their bed in the morning, or do you not see much point?


Answer: The bed is the first thing I make, after I pee of course.

Are you a “talk to me as soon as I wake up” or “STFU let me enjoy my coffee first” kind of person?


Answer: LOL - don’t talk to me until I’ve had my cup of joe. But for kudos points, make the coffee for me and have it ready when I crawl out of bed πŸ˜‰ That’s the way to my heart πŸ˜€
Do you get road rage? What pisses you off the most about other drivers?
Answer: Depends. If they’re not speeding, not slow, not in the left lane cruising, not driving without signaling, not on their phones, and not swerving on the road, then I’m okay - opposite of those, and I’m raging all the way.

Bugs... like or dislike?

Answer: Depends…I don’t like big spiders, a fly on my nose irritates me, mosquitos are a bitch, and sometimes I get these weird bugs with horns here in Tennessee that I let the cats play with.

Favorite movie?

Answers: You mean movieS right? Dirty Dancing, Footloose, Sixteen Candles, Step Up - fine, I won’t go on.


Favorite author?

Answers: Nope. Nah. Nuh uh. You don’t ask an author that - that’s bad joojoo. But I will list a few that I can’t live without - Nicole Strycharz, J. Kenner, Jane Anthony, Sandi Lynn, Danielle Steel

Boxers, Briefs or Commando

Answer: How about commando? πŸ™‚


Wine, COCKtail, Beer or straight up shot


Answer: All of the above - just depends on my mood and my surroundings
Coke or Pepsi

Answer: COKE! Anything Coca Cola!


Drunk night out or Relaxing night in

Answer: I already did enough of that drunk night out in my youth - now I’m at the point where I’m loving just a relaxing night in - even if it’s with friends, let’s just stay in yoga pants with a drink in our hands, a good chick flick, and gossiping.

Baseball or Football
Answer: Soccer!

Hot weather or Cold weather

COLD WEATHER!!!!! All the way! Still trying to convince the hubby to move to Canada

Finish this sentence-
Bricks and stones may break my bones but whips and chains_______________


Answer: DEFINITELY excite me πŸ˜‰


Weirdest place you’ve had sex at?

Answer: Not weirdest, but most exciting. Outdoor Spa Pool with people around while it was dusky out.


So do you scream and make it known you are getting it good, moan because you know it turns your partner on, or do you stay silent so no one knows your business?


Answer: I moan. I definitely moan. I might get loud if he’s really good - definitely not quiet though - I want people to KNOW my business (evil laugh)

Tattoos? Piercings?

Answer: Ear piercings - I live a boring life πŸ˜‰

Biggest pet peeve?

Answer: People that aren’t on time


All right enough of that... now that i got you all blushing let’s get to more of the good stuff..


Who are some of your favorite authors?

Answer: Wait a minute. I already answered that. You ain’t getting me twice πŸ˜‰

Who inspires you?

Answers: My daddy. He is 60 living the RV life, loving life, always hard working, never stops, and eats 7 plates never gaining a pound - that shits inspiring.


What do you write?

Answers: Words?!! Teehhee, sorry, couldn’t resist! Romance, Smut, Shit that’ll make you cry, angry, and heartbroken.


What do you do when you are not writing?

Answers: Spending way too much time on Facebook, hanging out with my special needs child, catching up to television shows.
How did you choose the genre you write in?

Answer: Loved reading happy endings and couples in love, decided to write my own stories about couples falling in love.

Where do you get your ideas?

Answer: In the shower, at night when I’m lying awake in bed, from music lyrics, german television shows.

What was the first book you ever wrote and how did it come about?

Answer: I Belong to Him came about at a time I wondered what marriage was really about, what if someone came into my life that I was more interested in than my husband and if there was this chemistry that couldn’t be denied.

Which one of your books is your favorite and why?

Answer: I would have to go with the entire Polaroid Series - I most relate to Amelia because I did let that guy go, I would probably be with him if we both weren’t married, and I still miss him. It was also based at my old high school and some of the things mentioned are based on the past.

Is anything in your book based on real life experiences or purely all imagination?

Answer: Most of them except the Polaroid Series are purely imagination - but there are bits and pieces of people and myself mentioned in all of my books.

Standalone books or series?

Answer: BOTH!

Do you like cliffhangers?

Answer: Love them. Love creating them. Love reading them. It’s that affect that will leave you waiting and wondering and curious to see where it can go and if what you’re thinking actually does happen.

What is up next?

Answer: Next is the Broken Hearts Series about hardships, heartbreak, and learning to deal with the unexpected.

Why should I add it to my TBR?

Answer: Because I’m fucking cool, that’s why! πŸ˜›

2018: Crazy Updates!!!

WOW!! It has been a while since I have stopped by here.... Life has taken a turn and taken me for a looooooong spin the last year...

Let's start with what happened...

I suffer from a chronic auto immune disease that, even with treatment there are times when it takes over me 100%... Psoriasis, Psoriatic Arthritis and Fibromyalgia... Last year has been one of the hardest years of my 33 years on this earth...

Exactly a year ago I ended up in the hospital in excruciating pain. Doctors were rushing around me, running a million labs, EKG, CT Scans and MRI. Finally ER doctor comes in with a specialist in tow. The words emergency surgery, kidney failure, blood transfusion were all said in a matter of a few sentences. Before I knew what was going on I found myself in OR 2, laying on a freezing bed, counting to 0 from 30 and being put under. That's when  my life took a turn that has made my life somewhat of a living hell...

I ended up having to have 3 surgeries in a matter of 30 days... I had severe kidney stones shaped like oblong pills... very large stones... my recovery was not what the doctors expected... because the medication I take it's and immuno-supressant I had to stop taking my dosage... what this means is that when my immune system is compromised I am not allowed to take my weekly injections because they may cause additional illnesses and side effects... In a matter of a month I had lost 50 lbs, my muscle and joint strength weakened... I needed assistance in my every day activities like eating (sometimes the husband still cuts my food up), getting up from a sitting position (he still helps me get up), hygiene, driving and much more... at some point I was using a walker...

Afew days after my first surgery I had a book signing I was going to attend... and I did... It was amazing hearing the authors ask me how I was doing, checking in and reprimanding me for being up and walking around so soon after surgery ( Sorry Guys but I appreciate and love you all!) there was even a wheelchair available for me in case I needed to sit down and rest...

2016
2018


A year later and I am still having lots of pain, which it is somewhat controlled with monthly intravenous infusions and pain medication (supported by my specialist and pain management doctors). The few things that have kept me going have been my family and friends as well as my virtual friends. The authors who sent their books over to keep my mind occupied, thank you so much you made my days more doable and less long.

Our family grew by 8 paws! We adopted a fawn Great Dane which we named Bowser and a kitten named Ganondorff, aka Ganon. They come to complete our furry family!


Bowser Cornelius Evarts
Gannondorf "Ganon" Evarts

This is our furry crew!! 


The kiddo is not a kid anymore.. she will be 17 next month and is in her JR year of high school... she is looking forward to more HS fun and as she said the other day " Mom, how come HS is not like the movies? UGH!" well kid real life can be boring.

Last Year's Homecoming


Also this year our family is growing!! My brother dropped down to 1 knee at Disneyland and proposed to his beautiful then girlfriend (now FiancΓ©) and I was there to capture it! We were celebrating her birthday and she had no idea what was going to happen!!

She had no idea he was going down on 1 knee!!

Kisses for his future MRS

#ContrerasEngagement

My NOT so little brother and I! 




In a nutshell this is all the craziness that has been going on in the last couple of years... thank you husband for everything you do now that I am not working... You are my rock and I absolutely Love you!!!


I am reopening this blog to continue sharing my journey and the details of my life as well as the new releases and reads from my all time favorite authors!!!! oh oh... and I am working on my first book!! so keep an eye out for that!!!
