Death by Chocolate–Interview with Dianne Gray
Char is a fantastic blogger. Check out her interview with me (particularly if you like funny crocodile stories!) 😀
Treat time! No…it isn’t chocolate (unless a planet on a collision course with Earth is made up of chocolate–please let it be dark, with toffee chunks. I would die happy!).But sorry, this post will not treat you to that kind of news.Â
Today’s treat is an interview with an author who loves chocolate though (next best thing to eating your own Skor bar).Â
Dianne Gray is here to answer a few questions I’ve whipped up for her. I’ve followed Dianne’s blog for a while now and read a couple of her books. This Aussie has talent (a list of awards a mile long)…and she’s funny too.

Just had SEES dark chocolate (my wife’s favorite) prior to reading this great interview – does anyone care that I prefer milk chocolate? 🙂 How is it that some people have that ‘electric’ quality no matter that oceans and seas separate? Dianne Gray has that quality…made my afternoon…

I heard in Japan they are selling those blood splattered t-shirts for a fortune. What a show that must have been. Thank God your hubby has forgiveness and a hand. {{{hugs]}} Kozo

I love Cayo as well.

LOL – I’m wondering when they actually noticed they all had blood spatter on them! They probably wouldn’t know where it came from because it all happened so fast 😀 Luckily hubby has a lot of forgiveness (particularly because I nearly electrocuted him last week when I told him the power was off and it wasn’t – oops) 😯
I’m so glad Cayo is your favorite. I thought he would be {{{hugs}}}

What a fun interview! I love the story of your hubby and the baby croc; although I’m afraid he probably doesn’t think it is all that humorous! I’ve been on a reading hiatus so haven’t read the books you sent me yet, but now I’m inspired to polish them off. I may be contacting you for an interview to put with my review! Thanks for sharing this and getting this reviewer off her duff and start reading again!

LOL – “getting this reviewer off her duff” – I’ve never heard that expression before, Darla! 😀
I’m really glad you liked the interview – it was a lot of fun. There’s no rush to read the books, whenever you’re ready they’ll just be sitting there waiting for you 😉 An interview sounds great! 😀

Incidentally, I’m a chocoholic myself! Have you tried chocolate potato chips (crisps, I think you call them)? To make your own, scatter a handful of chips on a plate and sprinkle with chocolate chips (I like to put 3-4 on the big ones). Next microwave for about 20-40 seconds. I spread the chocolate around with a spoon when it gets soft enough. Then let cool for a sec and eat and enjoy! Sweet and Salty!
