Guest Post: Quick Questions by MJ O'Shea

Today I'm pleased to host MJ O'Shea at my blog.  MJ is here to promote her new release Coming Home which is available now HERE.  Over to you MJ!


Hi Everyone! MJ O'Shea here:) I thought I'd answer a few quick questions!

Where do you hail from and what do you love most about your hometown? 

I'm from Tacoma, which is near Seattle. I never know who has heard of it and who hasn't:) Some parts of the city are...interesting, but I love the area I live in. It's a whole street of restaurants, bars, and clubs. There's a farmer's market once a week, a taco truck and an indian restaurant next door, an organic deli, and a million coffee houses. I live right off of it in a little old house that I'm probably going to be repairing forever. Engine House 9, one of my favorite of the bars right off the main street. It's an old firehouse and they have the best potato skins EVER.

Morning Person? Or Night Person? How do you know?
I'm a night person, without a doubt. I like to be out and up at night far more than I like to be awake early in the morning. That's when I think the best, when I'm the most alert, when I'm the most ready to do things. Even if I wake up early, I'll usually be tired midday but awake at night.

What do you do to unwind and relax?
To unwind, I like to go out dancing. Or dance in my office, my kitchen...or anywhere really. I like to read too, and paint, and hang out with my friends and watch movies and go on walks, or swimming in the lake if it's warm enough. It's awesome lying on the swimstep of the boat in the summer and just looking up at the sky. If you came with a warning label, what would it be? Beware of Glitter:) Yeah. That works pretty well. Hehe.

What's your hidden talent? 

 I do lots of murals. I guess it's a talent but I hate to throw that word around, lol. Here's the one I did on the wall of my bedroom. That was before I realized my dresser only fit on one wall...that one.

What TV show/movie/book do you watch/read that you'd be embarrassed to admit?
Oh, lord. Shhhh. I love the Vampire Diaries. It's fun and I like the snarky dialogue. And Damon Savatore. How could you not like Damon? I'm also ridiculously addicted to Project Runway. I couldn't sew a dress if I had to, but I like to pick apart their work:)


If we were to look around the desk where you sit to write, what would we find there? 

A disaster…. Lol. Actually, it's not that bad right now. I have earrings and necklaces hanging everywhere from when they got annoying, and I took them off while I was working. I have pens, markers, my basket of acrylic paints. A bookshelf … one of four in the house:). Oh, and usually a ton of empty coffee cups, mainly colored. I color in the mermaid with my markers when I can't think of what to write next. I threw all of those away when I moved last month:( I'm going to have to start a new collection. Right now, I have two random bottles of shampoo, and some envelopes of guitar strings. That's because of the move. I don't usually have those out...but that did make me want to get my guitar out and play with it!

I'll leave you with a blurb for my book Coming Home:)

Tallis Carrington ruled Rock Bay with his gang of jocks and an iron fist—until a scandal destroyed his family's name. Ten years later Tallis is dead broke, newly homeless, and on the walk of shame to end all walks of shame. He needs money and needs it fast, and Rock Bay is the only home he knows. But the people of Rock Bay haven’t forgotten him—or the spoiled brat he used to be. 


The only person in town willing to overlook his past is Lex, the new coffee shop owner, who offers Tally a job even though he appears to despise Tally based on his reputation alone. When Tally discovers his gorgeous boss is the kid he tortured back in high school, Lex's hot and cold routine finally makes sense. Now Tally has to pull out all the stops to prove he was never really the jerk he seemed to be. After all, if he can win Lex’s heart, the rest of the town should be a piece of coffee cake.
