Kristina Diesen is a brand new author, with her story in Spring Flings being her first release! But Kristina’s no one-hit-wonder, she’s got another story coming in August, her story Wet, Wild and Willing will be a Torrid Teaser with MY story Hot Stuff!

If you could only watch one movie again for the rest of your life, what would it be?
Shining Through. It’s an older film starring Melanie Griffith and Michael Douglas mostly set in Nazi Germany. I had to watch it once for high school history and loved the romance story behind it so much I purchased it that same week. I think I even started writing shortly after that. I cry every time I watch it though, multiple times.

If you were a Bond Girl what would you want your name to be?
Do Bond Girls even need names? I mean as long as James Bond was keeping me out of trouble and likely my clothes as well, I don’t think I’d care what he called me. Love, darling, pet, etc.

What’s your favorite animal at the Zoo?
Gosh, it’s been so long. Still, I’d have to say hands down the elephants. They always seemed friendly and you could pay to ride on their backs. That was and still is when I go with the family to the circus my favorite part.

Do you have any tattoo’s? If not, where would you get one and what would you get?
Nope and I never will. I suffer from a classic case of needle fear. However, if they ever develop a creative way to tattoo without the pain and suffering and it lasted longer than stick-on’s, I think a Celtic design across my lower back/waist line would look pretty awesome.

Can you roll your tongue? Touch your tongue to your nose? Do any other bizarre tricks with your body?
Absolutely. Can’t even get close. None that I care to share.

Barbara currently has 4 releases with WCPT. Her story How Far Will You Go, has been a bestseller for several months. She also has several more upcoming releases from WCPT.

If you could obliterate the career of one musician, who would it be?
Oh, that’s an unfair question. Anyone I say is going
to have a fan out there who hates me! I used Yanni and
Dave Matthews Band in my newest book — Fantasies
Delivered, so it’s certainly not them! How about we
get rid of Liberache (see, I know I don’t like him
since I can’t even spell his name!)
Emma’s note: I did not come up with this question, I got it from a book of ice breakers. So far, everyone has refused to answer the question but I swear I’m not the one that came up with it!

What is your favorite movie?
It’s got to be Pretty Woman. I LOVE Richard Gere! And
I love the idea that bad girl makes good; from rags to
riches — you get the idea. But most of all, it has a
happy ending!

If there was a warrant for your arrest and you
had to escape the
country, where would you go?
If I tell you, they’ll find me!

If you were in a situation where you could shoot
the most
annoying person/thing you could think of, throw it’s
body in a
rapidly flowing river without ever being caught, would
you do it?
Only in my books! I have been known to kill my boss a
time or two. Writing is a great way to get rid of
annoying characters and frustrating jobs!

Do you suffer from any of those things that
prohibit you from
going on roller coasters (ie, motion sickness, back
and neck pain,
heart condition, under 46 inches tall, etc)? Do you
like roller
coasters?
I used to sit in the very front seat, hands in the air
and scream all the way down! Of course, that was when
I was about 12. Then I grew up, and now I can’t ride
roller coasters anymore. Isn’t it a pity we become
adults and see reality more often than fantasy?
