1. Give me one of your favourite authors and your favourite book by them:

Tess Gerritsen – The Surgeon; It's the first book of a series telling about Rizzoli (a cop) and Isles (a medical examiner) and their first case together. Some may know the TV Show, it's losely based on the books.

2. Tell us about one of your hobbies.

Videogames. There's not much to tell about, we're all in the same boat :D I play videogames since I'm 12 years old, I started with racing simulations like Need For Speed, sandbox games like GTA and Mafia and for about 2 years I added RPGs to the list.

3. What’s your favourite genre? Be it in books, games, shows…

Crime

4. What’s your dream job?

I wanted to work in forensics as long as I can remember. I volunteered at our local Medical Examiners office for a week last year and it were the most interesting days in my working life. Sadly it's pretty hard to get into this line at work if you're not a doctor, at least in Germany, and the chance to get a job in the lab are rare.

5. Tell me about somewhere you’ve visited that you really enjoyed…

I was in Greece three years ago and I really enjoyed it there. Wonderful food and impressive landmarks.

6.…and somewhere you’d really like to visit but haven’t yet?

Ireland & Scotland

7. Name an artist you really admire (any type of artist, music included!).

Maynard James Keenan. He's the leadsinger of Tool and also has two sideprojects called Puscifer and A Perfect Circle. He also ownes a vineyard in Arizona. He's my all-time-favourite singer, has a wonderful voice and seems to be an overall interesting person. Seeing him live at least one time is on my list to do before I die.

8. Is there something you wish you were good or better at?

Drawing, writing

9.A series/game/film/book you’re interested in getting into but haven’t gotten around to yet?

The Last of Us and The Witcher series is waiting to be played by me but I'm too distracted playing games I've played through multiple time already xD

10.You just won the lottery! What’s the first thing you buy?

A horse xD I wanted a horse since I was a little kid and a few years ago I started horseback riding again but had to stop since it got to expensive (and I was quite frustrated with the trained horses).

11. And lastly: Have you met anyone online, tumblr or otherwise, you want to meet in real life? Feel free to be vague :D

Yeah a few. I would like to meet Lana and Nat. the nearest possible person is Kat and we are actually planning to meet each other this year. Although I would like to meet those people I'm still afraid that it would be super awkward and weird ^^

Here are my questions:

1. What was your favourite childhood tv show/movie?

2. Have you ever met a celebrity or some other person of interest?

3. What is your favourite piece of clothing/accessory/jewelery?

4. Can you share a story of your family? Funny, sad, whatever comes to mind you feel comfortable to talk about.

5. What was the best thing that happened to you last year?

6. Do you support a cause/charity or where would you donate money to if you could?

7. Pretend you could book a vacation into a fictional universe. Which one would it be and who should be your personal guide?

8. What was the funniest thing you've ever experienced with an animal?

9. Pretend you had the opportunity to travel in time. What historical event would you like to visit?

10.Have you ever had a supernatural experience? A vision, a bad feeling about something, ghost-sightings, something you can't explain with reason?

Great weather. Seriously, the weather is spectacularly mild here, and I really appreciate that, winter AND summer.

3. What’s the thing you hate the most about the place you live?

I don't really hate anything about it. Other than it's not Scotland, and I miss Scotland. I guess maybe I'll say I wish there were thousand-year-old castles within walking distance from my house? 

4. How many pets have you had since you were born?

Me, personally? An uncountable number, really, since I used to keep tropical fish, and I've had hundreds of individual fish over the years. I've also owned a total of three cats, a cockatiel, two snakes (a boa and a corn snake), a couple of hamsters, and an anole lizard. Plus, when I was growing up, we had pets galore - two cats, five dogs, an African grey parrot, rabbits, gerbils, fish, a guinea pig, desert tortoises, and a variety of wild birds that my mother hand-raised when they fell out of nests in our neighborhood. So, um, a lot. :D

5. What’s the weirdest thing about you in your opinion?

The weirdest thing? I guess for most of my life I've thought of my ability to spend a lot of time in my head, inventing stories and scenarios and fantasies, as being strange. But it comes in handy as an author, so IDEK? 

6. Which season of the year do you prefer?

Autumn is my favorite. There is something about the crispness of everything - a chill in the air, dried leave skittering across the pavement, puffy white clouds in a bright blue sky - that I just love. Also, Halloween is my favorite holiday, and I like the comfortable weather between the heat of summer and winter's cold. 

7. Tell me an absolutely impossible thing you’d love to do. (Impossible as in, traveling to Neptune impossible, for example)

Travel back in time to see dinosaurs first hand. 

8. Your favourite dessert?

Probably some sort of really fluffy chocolate mousse pie with a graham cracker crust, and loads of whipped cream on top, and little shavings of white chocolate. Yeah. That sounds pretty good. 

9. Tell me three games you’d always recommend.

Dragon Age Oblivion Minecraft

10. What’s your favourite moment of the day?

When I get home from work, and dinner has been eaten, and I have the entire evening ahead of me to do whatever i like. 

11. Someone tells you you’ve won a vacation anywhere you’d want to go with all costs already paid. Where’d you like to go, and what activity/activities would you like to do there?
