Answers to the questions from Katherine Vucicevic

1. What was the funniest movie you have seen? I’ve seen many and it is hard to choose which was the funniest but latest laugh I got from a movie was 40 Year-Old Virgin
2.What’s your earliest memory? Age 4 when we first moved off the settlement
3. What was your favourite school subject? Math was at one time
4. Have you EVER had a need to use algebra away from a school environment? (No, seriously!) Unfortunately, no
5. Do you understand modern art (or even know if it’s hanging the right way up?) I’d like to hope so but I’m afraid I’m out of touch with the modern art
6. Most enjoyable book? If you mean novel, I’d say I really got into Vessica Barksdale Inclan’s novel – When You Go Away but it is my latest read. Most stories that touch real life, I usually enjoy the read. However, I don’t particularly stick to one author as I like some variety

Katherine I hope you enjoy the answers!

Answers to the questions from Lilica Blake

1. What inspired you to start a blog? Wanting to create a website for my writing and showcase by books and blogging gave me that opportunity; I wish I could design my own but I don’t have the expertise
