Anniversary Shenanigans: Author Visit and Give-Away: Alexa Land

We've got the lovely and always hilarious Alexa Land here with us today!  *cheers loudly*


Welcome Alexa!
Hi! Thanks for interviewing me!
 
What are your favorite M/M themes?
I really don’t gravitate to any themes in particular. As long as it’s a great story with a HEA, I’m a happy girl!
 
What books do you consider Desert Island Keepers? 
Oh man, I always have a tough time narrowing down favorite books! I’m just going to cheat and say I’d want my Kindle with me (along with a solar charger), because it contains tons of books and that would keep me going for a long time!
 
What's your go-to tasty beverage?
Coffeeeeeee! I’m a total, unapologetic addict.

Do you have any secret talents? Inquiring minds want to know.
I used to love drawing, especially cartooning. I even worked in the animation field for a while. I’m pretty rusty now, though!
 
If you had to choose to be one magical beast, what would it be and why? (you don't have to say unicorn...but we won't say neigh either) 
LOL Sorry, I have to go with a dragon here. They fly, breathe fire, and kick ass. Your unicorns can come hang out with my dragon, though! :)
 
Who's your favorite porn star?
I don’t have one. But one of my besties is batshit crazy for Tayte Hanson, so I’ll go ahead and give Tayte a shout-out for her!

Do you have author envy? Whose words do you read and think, "GAH, I wish I wrote that!"? There’s a great YA writer named Laini Taylor (author of the Daughter of Smoke and Bone trilogy) who’s just amazingly talented. Her writing is so gorgeous and effortless, and she builds these incredible, imaginative worlds. When I read her stuff, I just go, “DAMN.”

Any new projects you're currently working on?
I’m currently working on Against the Wall. It’s the seventh book in my Firsts and Forever series, and it’s Christian’s story, who we met in Skye Blue. All the characters from previous books in the series will be making appearances, and of course Nana is back in all her glory! This one’s going to be quite a ride!

Thanks for stopping by, Alexa!
