This week's post is by Sheila Deeth from her novel, Divide By Zero.
The name’s On-DRAY-uh, not Andie, and I’m sick and tired of the way Steve Walker says it, like he knows me just ’cause he went to school with me. I don’t say anything to him of course, not anymore. Steve may not be my best customer but he’s shopped for more than one work of art since he started going out with his Amethyst. Anyway, I’ve got my own man now, and no, I’m not going to tell you anything about him. He’s my secret, and I’m his.
1. The worst Valentine's Day gift I ever received was...
…also the best. He stood on the path with a bunch of dandelions and a smile and I thought, what’s that? Then he took me off through the trees and I saw what he’d built, and it was all for me…
2. My idea of the perfect date would be...
…if he’d just go somewhere public with me, like he wasn’t ashamed of me. That’s all I want. But if he won’t, I’ll make our secret place the best it can possibly be so he’ll never leave me.
3. If you want to give me candy...
…don’t get your sticky fingers on the artwork.
4. The song that best describes my current love life is...
...you remember it? Parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme… Simon and Garfunkel was it? Scarborough Fair or something? I used to think the thyme was time, you know, like love might last forever. And our little place, it’s got the parsley and sage with the dandelions… and we’ve got time… Yeah, that’s my song.

Hi Sarah. I imagine your characters would give intriguing answers too.
