Friends of #FurkidFriday – Twiggy and Lucy Visit Lilie the Westie at Victoria and Kelly Zigler’s Blog

Today Lilie the Westie is hosting an interview with Lucy and Twiggy at Tori Zigler’s blog.

As you may know, Victoria is a prolific writer and lover of animals.

Here is her profile

Victoria/Tori
My name is Victoria, but most of my friends and family call me Tori. Feel free to do the same.

Born in the shadow of the black mountains in Wales, I now live by the sea in the south-east of England with my husband, Kelly, and our furkids.

Having battled with glaucoma since birth, I now find myself completely blind. But I haven’t let that stop me from chasing the dream I’ve had since I was a young child: the dream of becoming a published author. I’ve loved to read and write since I learned how, and always wanted to get my work published. Finally, in 2012, I made that dream come true by self-publishing the first of my books as an eBook via Smashwords. Several more titles have been published since, with paperbacks and audio books also being made available. So now I’m a published author of several poetry collections, as well as a long list of children’s stories.

I’m just as happy exercising the logical side of my brain as the creative side of it, so would describe myself as a combination of Hermione Granger and Luna Lovegood from the Harry Potter books: Hermione’s thirst for knowledge and love of books, combined with Luna’s wandering mind and alternative way of looking at the world. A couple of people have agreed with that description of me, so I feel I’m justified in using it.

Read more about me, and learn about my hobbies and interests, on our website’s “About Victoria” page, which can be found at http://zigler.co.uk/victoria.htm.

Kelly
My name is Kelly, and I was born in Canada, but now live in a town near the sea in the South of England with my wife, Tori, and our pets.

Read more about me, and learn about my hobbies and interests, on our website’s “About Kelly” page, which can be found at http://zigler.co.uk/kelly.htm.

And information about her Furkids.

The Furkids

Our current furkids are a degu named Joshua, a chinchilla named Mollie, a West Highland White Terrier named Lilie, and a Cavapoo named Logan.

Read about those furkids, as well as all our past pets – whether they were only with us temporarily, or ours was their forever home – on our website’s pet section, which can be found here. You can even check out our pets by species by going directly to the pages for birds, cats, chinchillas, degus, dogs, fish, gerbils, guinea pigs, hamsters, rabbits, or rats.

Friday JohnKu – AKA – TGIF and a Guest Interview at Janice Spina’s

 

71e6noh-ptl-_ux250_

Today I am very pleased to be featured in an interview on Janice Spina’s blog. As you know, Janice is an award-winning author, reviewer, editor, and blogger. Go here for the interview and stay a little while to get an idea of all of Janice’s talents.

Also,

Friday is here and seems like a century since last week’s post. I guess that is life when you only do PT for ten hours a day. I have two home health care specialists who visit to monitor my progress.  The physical therapist comes every day and the nurse twice a week.

I’m pleased to say the exercises although painful are producing results.  To describe what is needed, think laying on your back and pulling your foot across the surface until your heel touches your butt. At that point, your leg is bent about 130 degrees. Today I am at 120 degrees which is darned good at this stage. Like every good Type A, I want to get to 130 degrees before my follow-up appointment on the 28th. Why? Because I think the doctor will lift restrictions and I can go back to riding my bike again. It has only been twelve days since the operation but one can hope.

Today’s JohnKu talks about a winning mindset. Have a good weekend

Thursday – A little Personal – Interview with Stephanie Savard

His Revenge

 

I am pleased to have Stephanie Savard visit Fiction Favorites today. For those of you who have not read My GRL and His Revenge, Stephanie plays a key role in her relationship with John J. Cannon. I was able to grab her while she was in between adventures and wanted to ask her a few questions about her career and relationship with John.

FF  “Hi, Stephanie. I ‘m so pleased to have you on Fiction Favorites.”

SS “Why, thank you. It is my pleasure I can assure you. ”

FF  “Would you care for anything to drink before we get started?”

SS “That’s sweet of you to ask. I’m fine, thank you.”

FF “Okay then. Let’s get started. My first question is about your career. You are a Navy pilot, and I am wondering how you chose that line of work?”

SS (Laughs) “I didn’t make the choice. The line of work sort of picked me. I was accepted to the US Naval Academy and finished my four years there. During career day in my junior year, I happened to visit the aviation booth and immediately wanted to fly those sleek-looking airplanes. I applied and attended flight school.”

FF  “My sources tell me you were number one in your class.”

SS  “Now you are making me blush. Yes, that’s true. I was very lucky.”

FF  “So after flight school where did you go?”

SS  “I kept attending advanced flight training and then joined Carrier Wing Eight a F18 Super Hornet squadron based on the Carrier George H. W. Bush. ”

FF  “So you are a carrier pilot?”

SS  “Yes and participated in airstrikes against ISIS.”

FF  “My goodness I had no idea. What are you doing now?”

SS  “I’m currently on leave.”

FF  “Tell me how you came to meet John J. Cannon.”

SS  “My brother and John helped each other, and I met John through my brother.”

FF  “One of the problems with an interview is having to avoid spoilers  so let me ask something totally away from the books.”

SS  “I would like that as well. Avoiding spoilers that is.”

FF  “If it’s not too personal do you see you and John having a long-term relationship.”

SS  “I hope John’s not listening cause I don’t want him to get a big head. I think John is a fascinating man, and I enjoy his company. As far as long-term is considered I believe that this character Matt Jacobs will have something to say about that concept.”

FF  “What do you mean?”

SS  “You do know he has been trying to get John to help him with his nefarious plans to destroy the west.”

FF  “I’ve read about that yes.”

SS  “So if Matt is successful I don’t think John and I have a chance. I could never be with someone who helps terrorists like Matt.”

FF  “What if Matt is not successful?”

SS  “I know John would rather die than help Matt. I guess you will have to come to your conclusion.”

FF  “Either way it doesn’t sound good for you two.”

SS  (Blinking away tears) “I’m glad for what John and I have together and if it all ended today we have been very fortunate to know each other.”

FF  “I don’t know what else to say. Thank you, Stephanie, for being here today, and I’m hoping for the best.”

SS  “Thank you so much. I am as well.”

Interview with Sally Ember Ed.D and Me – *Changes*

 

 

Just a reminder that the Google Plus live interview with Sally Ember Ed.D will be tomorrow from 10:00 to 11:00 AM EST. Here are all the details:

Welcome to Episode 14 of *CHANGES* G+ HOA with author, John W. Howell, who writes thrillers. Join host, Sally Ember, Ed.D., LIVE, conversing with John on Wednesday, December 3, 10 – 11 AM Eastern Time USA, https://plus.google.com/u/0/events/c73le14imljt9q0vn1do99re6fg or catch our conversation any time on YouTube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fZRG5j5fHuo

It should be a good exchange since this is the first time Sally has interviewed a thriller author. I think that’s okay because this will be the first time I’ve been interviewed by a doctor who hasn’t billed Medicare. Should be a good time for all who attend. If you can’t make it you can visit YouTube anytime after.
