Author’s Studio with Danielle Sibarium

I’m back with another segment of the Author’s Studio. This week I’m so excited because I get to bring you not only a really good friend of mine, but also one of my favorite authors. Her latest book Waves of Love kept me glued to my iPad, even when I knew I had to get to bed or I would not be able to function the next day. It was totally worth it. It’s been almost a week since I finished the book and I’m still thinking about it. Yes I’m obsessed with the Heart Waves Series. Anyway let me stop now, because trust me I go on and on. So now get to know Danielle a little better.

HERE’S A LITTLE ABOUT DANIELLE

Danielle Sibarium grew up as an only child of divorced parents in Brooklyn, New York. Her imagination was developed at an early age. Surrounded by stuffed animals and imaginary friends, she transported herself into a fantasy world full of magic and wonder. Books were the gateway between her play world and reality. On any given summer afternoon she became Snow White sweeping and cooking for the dwarfs, or Cinderella waiting for the prince. In 2007 Danielle collaborated with Charlotte Doreen Small to write songs for her CD More. Danielle wrote the lyrics for Take My Hand, and Goodbye, while Charlotte contributed the melody. In October 2011 Danielle’s debut novel For Always was released. She Has since released Heart Waves and the second book in the Heart Waves series, Breaking Waves. Danielle graduated from Farleigh Dickinson University with honors, and currently lives in New Jersey with her husband and three children.

And Now It’s Time For:

author's studio

1.What is your favorite word?

Mommy. It encompasses everything that’s important in my life.

2. What is your least favorite word?

Can’t- it convinces it’s user that things are not possible. As Jordan in For Always often says There’s nothing you can’t do if you want it bad enough.

3. What turns you on?

Ballroom dancing, especially the Latin dances. OMG when they are done well, there is nothing sexier than a Paso Doble or an Argentine Tango!

4. What turns you off?

True chauvinism is a huge, undeniable, major turnoff.

5. What sound do you love?

The sound of my children laughing when they are letting loose with a true hardy laugh.

6. What sound do you hate?

I equally hate the sound of nails being dragged along a chalk board, and the sound of my little girl shrieking when she doesn’t get her way. I mean it gives me chills. You think something terrible happened, meanwhile, she’s just trying to convince us to give in to her.

7. What is your favorite curse word?

Can I say that on here? Fuc* You know what letter goes there. As a word, it’s wonderful. It can be a noun, a verb, an adjective, adverb, interjection or an exclamation. Do you know any other words that can literally be anything?

8. What profession other than yours would you like to attempt?

I would’ve liked to be doctor. I always loved medicine.

9. What profession would you not like to do?

A dog walker, or dog poop picker-upper. After three kids, I’m done with poop. lol Wouldn’t want to be a nurse for the same reasons.

10. Tells us something no one knows about you?

Very few people know that I  was an extra on the Cosby Show.

Awkward Season 3: Surprise (Ep. 11) Review

Last night Awkward came back and I couldn’t be happier. I stayed up and set my DVR to record it. Why did I record it and not watched when it air? You might ask. Well the answer is simple: MTV plays way too many commercials. It’s one the biggest reasons I stay away from that network. Anyway back to Awkward. The first episode of the second half of season 3 started off with a bang.

photo 1-1

WARNIG THERE’S SPOILERS BEYOND THIS POINT. SO IF YOU STILL HAVEN’T WATCHED STOP READING. 

Quick Recap: It’s been 31 hours since Jenna kissed Collin. They both know it is wrong, but somehow they can’t stop kissing. Every time they agree they can’t do it anymore they begin to make-out. Of course Matty has no idea what’s going on. Actually it looked like everyone else knew, except for him and Jake.

Jenna is turning seventeen and her mother wants to throw her a surprise party without ruining the surprise. Meanwhile Tamara is dealing with having to keep secretes, which is causing her to over eat and yell out things like, “I have a yeast infection.” It is Tamara who tells Jenna about her surprise party.

Then there’s Ming. She’s enjoying being the head of the Chinese Mafia. She’s even got a whole new Hollywood hair-do to go with her powerful title. Fred is back and is not happy about Ming’s new power but agrees to be with her anyway. I have to say my favorite part of the Ming character is getting to see her crazy hats.

Anyway, Matty is still the perfect boyfriend. He even gets Collin to help him buy a special birthday present for Jenna. He really is clueless about everything that is happening. Even when he sees them holding hands he doesn’t seem to question it.

The episode builds up to the cliffhanger ending: Jenna walks into her house with her lips locked on Collin’s only to find out the surprise party is still on. Everyone at the party gets to see them kissing, including Matty. Talk about DRAMA.

My Opinion: Ok I know I’m in the minority when I say I actually like Collin. I know it’s not right that Jenna is cheating on Matty, but I kind of understand it. Please don’t think I condone cheating. I do think Jenna should have told Matty the truth the minute she kissed Collin. But I also understand why she digging Collin. Besides him being HOT, he’s also exciting. Matty at times can be too perfect and sort of boring. It’s likes he’s made his whole world about Jenna and that edge he had season 1 is gone. I will admit it was disturbing to see Matty be so nice to Collin. Now with that said I’m sure as I watch the next couple of episodes I’m going to switch to team Matty. I don’t want to see him hurt. Hopefully he’ll get mad and tell Jenna off. I don’t know I’m so confused. I like them both.

Anyway I loved Ming and her new power. I even like her new hair. I really hope they keep Fred around for awhile. They are too cute together. I still love Tamara, but I’m so over her with Jake. They just bore me together. Sadie is still my favorite villain. One minute I can’t stand her and the next minute I love her. She has the best lines. And she inspires me to walk around saying  “You welcome.”

I have to say my two favorite characters from last night’s show has to be Jenna’s mom and Valerie. They bring a different kind of humor to the show. It looks like it’s going to be an exciting season. I can’t wait for Tuesdays.

BEST LINE OF THE EPISODE “You got it L-Dog. I will take our girl to my favorite dive bar. Put a little hair on her chest and then drop her off.” ~ Valerie

Author’s Studio with S.K. Anthony

I’m back with another Author’s Studio. I always love the part of the Actor’s Studio when the host asks the actors questions from the list of Proust Questionnaire. It’s a great way to see who these actors really are without them promoting their latest movie or project. So I thought what better way for readers to get to know an author better too. Every two weeks I will introduce you to an author and together we will probe into their minds. This week I’m excited to talk to S.K. Anthony author of the very thrilling and sexy book Kinetic (The Luminaries).

HERE’S A LITTLE ABOUT S.K.

S. K. Anthony is a writer, a reader and a make-stuff-up-er who lives in New York with her husband and toddler twins. She is a wine connoisseur, which just really means she knows she loves it, and a caffeine addict. When she isn’t busy with her family she finds herself being transported into the world of imagination. Well, either that or running away from spiders…she is convinced they are out to get her!

And Now It’s Time For:

author's studio

1.What is your favorite word?

Love. Because why not? It’s the most hopeful word I can think of.

2. What is your least favorite word?

Hate. It’s too negative.

3. What turns you on?

Laughter. Make me laugh and I’m yours. Well not really, I’m already married and all that o_O

4. What turns you off?

Hate. I know I already used the word, but life is too short for such negativity. Go live, people! Enjoy your loved ones, ignore the “downers” and be happy. 

5. What sound do you love?

My kids’ laughter.

6. What sound do you hate?

My alarm clock.

7. What is your favorite curse word?

Well, I don’t have a foul mouth… but I do enjoy the versatility of the F word. You can use it for just about any expression and emotional feeling. If you are happy, sad, angry or doing something awesome, you can always find a good use for the word.

8. What profession other than yours would you like to attempt?

A millionaire. I would like to attempt being a professional millionaire. Can you make that happen? Please? lol

9. What profession would you not like to do?

I don’t think I want to be a septic cleaner. Nope, I’m sure I don’t want to do that.

10. Tells us something no one knows about you?

Hmm, not sure there are things about me that no one knows… but I suppose we can go with what my poor husband and kids know better than anyone: I’m a passionate singer. A terrible one, but passionate. I stand by my belief though, I sing good but their ears are faulty. #truestory lol.
