DISCLAIMER
The H. L. Burke Random Interview is not like other interviews. The questions are all over the place. They have no purpose. Their purpose is their lack of purpose.
There are nine questions because cats, but these nine questions are subject to change without notice, so the questions one person answers may not be the questions answered by the next author.
A door flies open. Lightning flashes outside, and in from a violent storm steps our next author, LISA ALDRIGE!

Author Bio:
Lisa Aldridge lives in the Ozarks where magic happens every day. She
is the author of Dangerous Impressions,

Series for New Adults. Her forthcoming
novels include: Fiery Impressions,
Book 2 of the Dangerous Impressions Series, The
Knowing Ones (YA Fantasy), The

Fiction), and The Caregivers

Before becoming a
full-time writer, Lisa was a cultural anthropologist and spent a lot
of time in dusty rooms with Native American effigy pots and skeletal
remains that were thousands of years old. They whispered intriguing
stories to her imagination. She also taught Sociology, History, and
English college classes. But when she wrote a novel for her college
students, she realized her passion for writing.
Lisa has an MFA from
Lindenwood University and has published short stories, creative
nonfiction, poetry, and flash fiction in various literary journals.
She received the Samuel C. Dellinger Award from the University of
Arkansas Anthropology Department and the Teaching in Excellence Award
from Northern Oklahoma College.
She loves hanging out with
her poet-husband and her hilarious kids, she has eight of them! She
also loves painting and dark chocolate. Someday she hopes to paint an
edible landscape with melted chocolates.
The Interview
Favorite flavor (of what?
EVERYTHING!)?
My
favorite flavor is definitely chocolate. My second favorite flavor is
chocolate-caramel. My third favorite flavor is chocolate-orange. My
fourth favorite flavor is chocolate-dark chocolate. My fifth favorite
flavor is chocolate-just about anything else!
Who is your fictional best friend
and what activities do you choose to do together?
My
fictional best friend changes, depending on what I’m writing or
what I’m reading. Hermione Granger was my best friend once.
Seriously, we did everything together. I even helped her in Potions
class once when Snape wasn’t looking.
When cats take over the world, how
do you plan to win their good graces?
I
sort of have this understanding with cats, they love me. I get out my
computer and ignore them and they are magnetically drawn to sit
between me and the screen. It happens every time, without fail.
Fill in the blanks. I am a
were____ but I only turn when the ___ is ___.
I
am a were-bunny but I only turn when the moon is orange.
If you were the captain of a space
ship, what would its mission be? Exploration? Colonization? Partying?
As
captain of a space ship, my entire mission would be to have a library
in space. It would be the quietest and most gravity free environment.
Books would just float past and you could grab one. Also, snacks are
allowed on the library in space. Think about it, freeze-dried ice
cream.
As a follow up: what would you
name your space ship?
It
would be named A Library In Earth’s Nethersphere. ALIEN for short.
Describe your life (or writing) as
a film genre.
My
life, and therefore my writing is a comedy. I live a reality sit-com.
For example, one day while trying to write, my 95-year-old
grandmother called and wanted me to take her to the store to buy cat
food and cookies. She rode one of those electric carts and I had to
run to keep up. When we got to the cat food aisle, she wanted
everything from the top shelf. I had to read all the labels to her
because her cat doesn’t like anything with liver in it. Well,
that’s understandable, neither do I. But then, my grandmother
wanted me to figure out how many calories were in each kind of cat
food! Cat calories for a cat made of nothing but fur! Next, we went
to the cookie aisle. She chose 8 different kinds of cookies. Did she
ask for the calories in a single cookie? No, of course not.
Pirates, Ninjas, or Vikings?
Choose carefully
Vikings,
of course. Duh.
If
this question were any question in the world, what question would you
want it to be and how would you answer it?
What do you want to be when you
grow up? I want to be an international art thief, archaeologist,
supernatural, healer, conjurer, artist, professor, dragon, and
wizard.
