While catching up on blog visits, I learned that I'm signed up for a Meet and Greet blog hop. I don't remember signing up, but then again, I don't remember much these days.
So, listen up Buttercup: since I rarely answer questions about myself, please seize the opportunity to learn secrets about me. I bet you didn't even know I can touch my nose with my tongue and have the rarest common blood type, AB Negative. But no one wants to know that.
This is what was asked . . .
What is your favorite animal?
My dogs, or course
Where have you traveled to (outside of your country), and what's been your favorite destination?
I'm an American who has traveled to France, Italy, Ireland, Israel, Canada, Mexico, and Bermuda. Each place has been wonderful, so it's hard to choose a favorite. I enjoy warm places with oceans and beaches, but then again history rocks!
How many siblings do you have?
I have one brother and two sisters, and they are all older than me, which means they are REALLY old.

Are you a lefty or a righty?
I'm a lefty, which means I'm in my right mind. The left side of the brain controls the right side of the body, and the right side of the brain controls the left side, so us left handed people are the only ones in our right minds.
Since picking a favorite book is nearly impossible, who is your favorite author or which one has had the most influence on you in your writing career?

I love Margaret Peterson Haddix and Gordon Korman. Peterson for her heart-pumping action and Kormen for making me laugh. There are many other fab authors. As far as who has most influenced my writing career, it would have to be all of those Midsouth authors who I've met through SCBWI. Josh Adams, Peterson's agent, will be at our next SCBWI conference. Woo hoo!

This is fun, I liked learning a lit bit more about you.
We have friends who just went to Israel. I think that would be such a fabulous trip.
Thanks for taking part in the blog hop. :) Where have you been to in Canada?
Wow - I did not realize that you had published several manuscripts - very cool!!
No, no, no. Not published--written. I wish they were published.
Toronto and Montreal
Hee Hee In your right mind. Well, that explains a lot about me then:P
Nice to meet you - ;) You know what I like about this post, everyone can learn something new and interesting about you, even me. You left off that you are a wonderful friend :)
You never cease to amaze me, Joyce. You are probably the funniest woman I "know" but also can get really serious. You must be very well balanced :)
I have three siblings, too, and they're all much older than me!
Fascinating facts!
I never knew before that you're a well travelled American dog lover who leans to the left, is younger than everyone else who matters, and reads a lot.... Did I get that about right?
Have a great week!
Excellent answers! But I thought the right side of the mind is the left... ;-)
I'm with you - I love history AND beaches, and that is why I love living here in MA. I am right next to Plymouth & of course, Boston is rich in history. Sadly, we only have beach weather for 3 months out of the year, though.
Thank you for joining our let's Get Social Sunday party ! Hope to see you again next week :-)

Great to know you better, Joyce. We're both in our right minds! ;)
I am pleased to meet you - officially that is... Congrats on completing five books. I've finished one full sized, and hoping to say published really soon so the second book can follow behind its sister. Now, are you sure you are in our right mind? :-)
That was interesting Joyce especially completing 5 books I hope one day they get published :-)
Have a good week ahead
It's always fun to learn a little more about our blogging friends! Sounds like you have been to some fabulous places. Wanna take me to one next time?
Left handed people are also statistically smarter than right handed so I don't want to go up against you on Jeopardy!

Joyce, check out HumorOutcasts.com – they have two presses: one for humor, one for non-humor. The cost to publish is free. They take a large upfront % until the cost of printing is paid. Then the author's % increases significantly. Everything is spelled out on their site. You can also write humor for them. They don't pay anything yet (for humor contributions – not for books), but you'll get exposure – some of their writers are published authors and some of them write for television. I write for them occasionally too.
