Interesting MSA Author Facts...


Us Midnight Seductions Authors are quite and interesting group. Did you know Wendi Darling collected miniature frogs? I’m a collector of many things so I can so relate to that. Among other things I collect Raggedy Ann dolls and squished pennies. And my grandson’s nickname is…you guessed it- Frog! Tess MacKall once threw a four-carat diamond ring into the Potomac River! Wow, I’d like to dive for that piece of jewelry. Relationships can sure make us do crazy things. I once learned how to skateboard down a very steep hill to impress a boy. Jade Twilight once ate a cricket for a dollar. Now that lady will do anything for money. Well, okay she was only ten at the time! That makes her an enterprising young lady! I like the way she thinks. At one point in my life I put together small, plastic car parts that couldn't be done by machine. A great at home job right? Wrong, I got like thirty dollars a bag. We're talking lawn and garden size bags here! Lizzie Black once dated a man thirty-eight years older than her. According to her she likes ‘em aged like fine wine. I’d have to agree with her on that one. Older men do make better lovers. I don't believe I've ever gone out with a younger man. How many of you knew that Savannah Chase has collected over 4000 autographs from several well known people. Stars, singers- you name it and she'd got it. I have one autograph and that's Charlie Daniels. It's a good one and I stopped right there. I would so love to look at Savannah's collection.

I love learning new things about people, especially those that I like and admire. I've made some great friends online and many of them are part of this great group of authors. As I'm writing I'm also realizing that I too have to reveal something that no one knows about me. Hmm, what to tell? And then it came to me. Some of my fondest memories are of when my son was young. We had the best times ever. Now that he has a son of his own I hope to repeat that. So, here's something most don't know about me- I was a temporary pageant mom. Yep, I entered my son in a pageant at the fair and he came in third. He also won the famed title of Little Mr. Walmart. I was the proudest mamma ever. We soon found out it wasn't our thing- he refused to do anymore! hahaha I don't blame him.

So tell us something we don't know about you? C'mon, we won't tell anyone!

Now this was a very kewl idea for a blog, Kissa.

I can see Jade eating a cricket. And I knew Sav collected autographs--didn't know she had so many. WOW!!!

Wendi and frogs? Hmmm...I can see that too I guess. Lizzie and older men? I knew that. Liz and I have compared notes on that one. I've never dated a younger man either. Until now. And we won't get into that. lol

You and little Mr. Walmart? Well, I can definitely see you figuring out it wasn't your thing. I'm sure your son breathes a sigh of relief every time he thinks of that. lol

This is really good. I love this blog. Creative thinking. Now that's something I knew about you already!

Wendi said...

We're definitely a fun group around here. :) And yep, I have frogs from all over the world. You should see the one I picked up in Capri on my honeymoon. They're doing what honeymooners do. ;)

Tess, that ring in the river...girl, you must have been pissed. I would have sold that thing and hit a beach somewhere...cabana boys and massages. LOL!

Wendi Darlin

Tess said...

Oh Wendi, pissed ain't the word for what I was. And trust me, I kick myself over that ring to this day...but not over the man!!!!

He should have been at the bottom of the Potomac...not the ring!!!

I have this gorgeous hanging wind chime that is all crystal frogs and long silvery cylinders. I hang it out by the pool in spring and summer and bring it in when cool weather hits, but I'll look at those frogs and think of you girl!

AJ Llewellyn said...

I LOVE this blog!
Okay well, since we're confessing secret things here...I was dating a guy I was madly in love with (this was long before I met DJ) anyway...he kept jerking me around and told me one night he preferred to stay home and watch TV than go out with me!
I didn't believe him. I was CONVINCED he was seeing another guy. My best friend and I did a "drive-by" past his house later that evening. I am ashamed to admit how jealous I got. So we drove by and there was my boyfriend standing outside his house in his underwear smoking a cigarette. I was so shocked to see him and naturally, he saw me too. Our eyes locked and I drove straight into a fire hydrant!!! It was a catastrophe. The police came...oh...I cringe now thinking about it. That was the beginning and end of my stalking days!
LOL

Wendi said...

LOL! AJ at least you learned early on that stalking wasn't for you. ;)

Tess, your chime sounds beautiful. I have a crystal frog that I picked up in Myrtle Beach when I got married there.

Kissa, great job on the blog today. Maybe we should schedule regular MSA Confessions. I'll bet we'll learn some doozies about one another. :)

Wendi Darlin

Tess said...

Ha!!! Wendi you're a hoot. I'm not telling another thing. My lips are sealed.

I agree though, great blog. lol

AJ. What can I say? I'll commiserate with ya bud. I did that once and was cured myself. Actually, it wasn't me doing the stalking, but a friend of mine. Unfortunately we took my car.

It was a red corvette. We pass her boyfriend's house...a married man...yep, married. Anyway, he is sitting in the living room in front of the big bay window staring right at us. The top was down.

Now can you say two women wanted to be seen or what!!! Boy was that dumb. Tee Hee...but I swear, I've never laughed so much in my life at the expression that came over that dudes face. Yep, we could see him just fine. lol

Kissa Starling said...

Umm, my name is Kissa and I was once a stalker too AJ. Looking back I can't believe the things I did. I had fun with this and I hope more people drop by- I love learning new things about people I like!

Kissa

Savannah Chase said...

oh the things you learn about your fellow authors....

Kissa Starling said...

I know, isn't it great?

Kissa

Elizabeth Black said...

Yeah, Tess and I compared notes on men. We like 'em older. I now have crushes on two older men - one is 61 and the other is 75. One I crush on from a distance, but the other one I know. I'm almost 50, so they're still a bit older than me. That 38 year age difference Kissa mentioned in her post is the biggest age difference I've ever experienced. When my ex husband found out he completely freaked. At first he thought I meant the guy was 38. I said.. no... he's 38 years older than me. I was 21 when I met him and he was 58.

Believe it or not, I'm taking a crack at writing cougar stories. Ha! I did have flings with three men much younger than me, so I guess I have the advantage of the full spectrum. Still like 'em older, though. :)

AJ, did you set the fire hydrant off? Gad, that was funny but embarrassing. And Tess, I can't believe you threw away a perfectly good ring. Yeah, the guy should have ended up swimming with the fishes, not the ring!

Adrianne Brennan said...

Let's see. I have posed nude--and plan to do so again for a photo shoot.

I collect shotglasses from every place I visit.

I've had sex with a past boyfriend in his office (after hours, and no, we didn't work together at the same company!).

I've attended BDSM parties.

I am NOT a cabbage. :)

Tess said...

Glad to hear you're not a cabbage Lizzie. lol

Nudies huh? Well, I don't think I'm gonna try to top that. I'll let you take top seed there girlie.

ROFLMAO...

But do let us know when you pose nude again. lol

Tess said...

Oh hell, I meant Adrianne. Girl, you act like Lizzie. lol

Kissa Starling said...

Nude? How interesting. Great confession. Mine seems so dull now! haha Thanks for dropping by.

Kissa

Elizabeth Black said...

Ha! I am not a cabbage, either. I am a passion fruit. :)

Adrianne, you posed nude, too? I did for a photographer in college. What kind of photo shoot are you getting set up for?

I gotta confess I found a new man to lust after. He's 29 years old. Nearly half my age. Great bod, too. I'm so bad!!! I am cougar. Hear me roar. :D

Adrianne Brennan said...

I'm getting some nude shots of me done by a friend of mine who does amazing photography work. If they go really well, I plan to use a few for author promo stuff. :)

They're going to be tastefully shot--nothing overly exposed--so I imagine they could even get used for book covers down the road, too....

And Tess... LOL LOL :D You're awesome girl LOL

Adrianne Brennan said...

And Lizzie...I've seen a photo or two of you. You're a hot cougar; I'm sure that men in their 20s would gladly take you up on your offer. :D

Sascha Illyvich, erotica romance writer and real estate investor said...

Heh none of the things i say surprises anyone... most folks know I cross dress, play with whips, have an obsesion with Tess's ass...

Oh! I garden. I enjoy gardening a lot. There. Now you know something different about me. :P

GOod blog Kissa!

Tess said...
