Carlie M.A. Cullen is in the spotlight!
We are celebrating her newest release of Heart Search: Found, book two in the Heart Search Series.
I’ve cooked up some fun questions to ask Carlie. She’s been a great sport and went along with the fun.
Are you ready Carlie?
Er, I dunno. Maybe? *squeaks nervously* *takes a deep breath* Yeah, let’s go for it!
Okay, let’s do it!
1) If you’re in a cartoon, which character would you be?
.
Cruella DeVille – actually no, I’m kidding – I could never hurt those cute puppies. I think I’d have to be Taz (the Tasmanian Devil) – he’s crazier than a box of frogs (a bit like me at times, lol), but there’s also something rather endearing and cute about him (also like me) *flutters eyelashes*.
2) You’re a male character in a book or movie. Who are you?
.
Ooo, I’d definitely have to be someone buff and sexy, so it would either be Will Turner from Pirates of the Caribbean or Eric Northman from True Blood (the Sookie Stackhouse books). Both of them give me delicious chills, if you know what I mean? *wink, wink* Lol.
I really liked Will Turner as he’s got such a good heart and is loyal and courageous, yet there’s also a devilish innocence to him I find appealing. The way his character grew through the films was great to see.
Eric Northman is the polar opposite, of course; a vampire who wants what he wants and goes all out to get it, is powerful, stroppy, and taciturn. However, there’s a softer side to him and he is capable of love, it’s just buried deep and he doesn’t like to show it in case it’s viewed as a weakness. He’s a good friend and protector, but a deadly enemy.
3) Name one superpower you would like to have.
.
I’d like to be able to control the elements, particularly the weather. Just think, I could drive meteorologists completely nuts by bringing in warm sunshine when it’s supposed to be blowing a hooley, chucking it down with rain and freezing cold. Love it! *sinister chuckle*
4) Is there a supernatural being you would like to be and why?
.
This is a tricky one as there are several which appeal. Hmmm, I’ve narrowed it down to three – eeny meeny miney mo – okay, it’s going to have to be a shapeshifter. Being a magical creature that can change their appearance into anything or anyone is really cool and very useful: you can blend into your surroundings and hide from danger, integrate yourself with any race, and if you’re having a bad hair day . . .
5) Pick one person you would like to meet.
.
Count Dracula! I’d make sure I had some holy water, a wooden stake and a crucifix with me, but I wouldn’t necessarily use them. *wink*
6) If you could travel through time, where would you go?
.
Blimey! There are so many to choose from. I think I’d go back to the sixteenth century and meet my muse in person. I would love to get to know her as she was, and try to save her from being ambushed and killed.
7) If you had the whole world to yourself, would you view it as the ultimate freedom, or the ultimate prison?
.
Ooo that’s very deep. I thought this was supposed to be fun – you’re really making me think here! *laughs* I think I’d view it as a bit of both: the ultimate freedom because I could go anywhere and do anything I wanted – the world would be my playground; the ultimate prison because although there are times I like my own company, I’m essentially a people person and am happiest when I have my friends and family around me.
And Five Fun Shorts!
1) barefoot or sandals? Barefoot (as long as the ground isn’t too hot, of course, lol)
2) favorite flavor of ice cream? Toffee
3) dog or cat person? Dog – no hesitation
4) salty or sweet snacks? Sweet. I blame my dad for my sweet tooth!
5) are you organized or disorganized? Depends what day of the week it is, how much sleep I’ve had and what’s on my mental ‘to do’ list. When it comes to writing, editing and going on vacation, I’m usually very well organised – anything else, forget it! J
And one more!
What makes you squirm? Some of these interview questions, lol. But that’s not really what you want to hear, so . . . big spiders! *gulp*
Thanks for being such a good sport Carlie!
I’ve had a blast – thank you so much for inviting me here today, Laura. Now where’s that cup of tea you promised me? (Although I think I deserve a chilled glass of vino after that lot!!)

Blurb
One bite started it all . . .
Another mysterious disappearance sparks a frightening chain of events for Remy and her family. Events foretold come to pass, and more strange and alarming occurrences assail her life. Where can she turn?
Coven politics continue to threaten Joshua’s existence, but an even bigger menace looms . . .

Fate still toys with mortals and immortals alike, as hearts torn apart by darkness confront perils which could lead to their doom.
