Interviewee’s Choice (Three questions Kellie chose to answer of five choices)

CLARA: You’re throwing a party in a magical world where anyone, living or dead, real or
fictional, will show up if invited. Who are the first 10 people you invite?
KELLIE: Harry Potter. He’ll provide plenty of entertainment with his conjuring skills. Peter Davidson and definitely Peter Capaldi. It’s going to be a party of Peters. They can take on their respective Doctor Who personas, and spend the entire party filming a Doctor Who special. Simba from the Lion King, because why just have a lion when you can have a talking lion? Nick Burkhardt from Grimm will be there and hopefully he won’t think Simba is a wesen. I’m not sure if Simba being animated will make that task easier or harder. Daenerys Targaryen, and bringing her dragons will freak Nick out even more. Maybe Harry Potter can help with that. Shakespeare will ensure lively conversation, and Socrates can spend the night philosophizing. And because this night is going to be special, I have to invite my friends Angel and Annelise to share it with me. In case you’re wondering how the party goes down… The party begins with my best friends Angel and Annelise arriving. Shortly after, Harry Potter arrives, followed by Daenerys Targaryen. Upon hearing she is the mother of dragons, Harry immediately asks her what kind of dragons. He tells her he once faced off against a Hungarian horn tail, but he’s heard that Chinese fireballs can be rather volatile also. All of this just bores poor Daenerys, who goes looking for a drink, while her dragons make saganaki for the guests. Peter Davidson (Doctor #5) and Peter Capaldi (Doctor #12), have arrived in the meantime. Capaldi wonders what bloody idiot would be foolish enough risk a time paradox by inviting him and his counterpart. He blames the Master, and begins interrogating the guests, pulling out his stethoscope and listening for a double heartbeat. Davidson wonders what planet dragons are one and what is the science behind this magic they speak of. The dragons have mesmerized Socrates also, and he ponders what is a dragon, truly. Nick Burkhardt, of course, knows better, being a Grimm. He tries to muzzle Socrates, and also Shakespeare, who is busy waxing poetic about worlds of magic and dragons. Nick accuses them both of being wesen sympathizers. Simba spends the entire party trying to dodge Nick, and now I think he’s miffed I’ve invited them both. My friends and I? We sip wine and try to stay out of the crossfire.
Kellie AdamsCLARA: Which game most resembles your life: Operation, Monopoly, Twister or Clue?
KELLIE: My life is like Clue.
CLARA: If offered the chance to live forever, would you?
KELLIE: Yes…I’m going to be a robot…or a vampire pirate.
CLARA: Finish this sentence: In my next life, I’m coming back as a ….
KELLIE: …as a robot…we discussed this above.
CLARA: If you were cryogenically frozen, what’s the furthest point in time you’d like to be revived?
KELLIE: Any time other than right before the world’s going to blow up.
CLARA: Which would you rather see make a comeback – disco or psychedelic rock?
KELLIE: I’d rather see disco make a comeback. Psychedelic rock takes too long.
CLARA: You’re the lucky winner of the Publisher’s Clearinghouse Sweepstakes. What’s the first thing you do after receiving your prize?
KELLIE: Get a financial manager.
CLARA: Your house has been sucked into a tornado and transported to Oz. What’s the first thing you do when you land?
KELLIE: Squish the witch and steal her shoes.

The Personal Touch

CLARA: What do you like most about modeling?
KELLIE: Getting to dress up and do make-up.
CLARA: What do you find most challenging?
KELLIE: Taking direction.
CLARA: Do you have any special techniques for achieving a certain facial look for a photoshoot?
KELLIE: Trying to think about something that puts the correct expression on my face.
CLARA: I know you like designing clothing. Is there a particular designer you would really like to work for?
KELLIE: Oscar de la Renta. I would love to assist in making gowns for red carpet events.
CLARA: Would you like to model your own clothing, or have someone else do it for you?
KELLIE: I’d rather just model them myself.
CLARA: Being tall, have you ever dated anyone shorter than you?
KELLIE: Yes.
CLARA: Was it a problem? And did you wear heels?
KELLIE: Not a problem…and I still wear heels.
CLARA: What do you like to read in your spare time?
KELLIE: Harry Potter fan fiction.
CLARA: Thank you so much for joining me, Kellie! Best Wishes on all your future endeavors!

Bestselling romantic suspense author, Clara Grace Walker, writes about fictional worlds populated with characters living out soap opera style lives.

Mostly her mother was right about that, but oh, the stories Clara was busy imagining. You see, Clara’s mother never bothered to check on what, exactly, her daughter was reading. And Clara, well, she still giggles about that.
