The Nalini Singh Hostage Crisis: Day 1

In the honor of the release of the latest Psy-Changling book, Hostage to Pleasure, the HLO branch of the DIK has taken the one and only Nalini Singh hostage. We will now commense with the Monty-Python style interrogation with an DIK twist (torture her with comfortable chairs, soft pillows, frou frou drinks, and lots and lots of hunky hero madness). Please beware of the Alys-Mind that will be floating around the interview. She's most harmless. *g* (*toes a huge lump of rope under the couch* yes, I'm harmless...)

Now that she is comfortably situated in the guest cabana, please give a warm welcome to the one and only award winning author of the Psy-Changeling series, Nalini Singh!!! Not only is she a writer extraordinaire, she's also truly a very beautiful person. (OMG It's Nalini!!! Little Alys use this color now to make her little comments and annoy peoples. Hehehehehehe, guess which twin I am. *raises a brow*)

She's enslaved us with Slave to Sensation, then turned the heat up with Visions of Heat, then shattered the ice in Caressed by Ice and possessed us with Mine to Possess and is now taking us hostage with Hostage to Pleasure. (Oh yes. Yes yes yes.)

So lets start the interogation... *drum roll*... THE QUESTIONS! (Are we not going to use the whips then? okie doke)

What is you favorite reading position?
Curled up in a big armchair or in bed. But I have to admit - if I get caught up in a book, I'll keep reading even if I'm not comfortable (just one more page and then I'll move...) (Yes, it's only one more page. You know you want to. It's calling you saying "read me...read me!")

What is your best love song?
I have a love affair with Bollywood musicals, and some of those songs are so utterly romantic (And the dancing. Oh the dancing. Dance my pretties, dance!)

Who is your favorite heroine?
My Mum. She rocks (Awwww, isn't Nalini just great?!?!?!! You're my hostag-uh-hero ^_^...one of many >_<)

If you could be in one book/series/world which would you pick
Am I allowed to say my own Psy/Changeling one? I'd love to see my characters come to life - I'd be a changeling I think. That way, I could get to play with Rome and Jules :)

(Not to mention quite a few very hot characters whom wouldn't mind a little...scratching)

How old is your inside voice?
Early 20's. I keep expecting to grow up. Hasn't happened (Who wants to? Growing up is overrated)

What is you favorite sex song?
Slow Hand by the Pointer Sisters

If you could be a hero who would you be?
Oooh, tough. I just finished reading "Cry Wolf" by Patricia Briggs, and I'm fascinated by Bran. I want to get in his head and find out what he's thinking - he's so inscrutable most of the time, and yet you can feel this intense core inside him. What would it be like to be the most alpha of werewolves? (What?! You should say Lucas!!! Lucas...mmmm...the most alpha probably get lots of good se---attention *whispers* in bed)

What heroine would you like to be?
I think I'd like to be able to swap bodies at will - that way, I can be there when the heroine experiences something cool, but not when she's being chased by a psychopathic killer. *g* It'd be kind of fun to be Lieutenant Eve Dallas from the JD Robb books for a day - say a day when she's spending all her time with Roarke! (You sure? you sure it's not Sascha, or Ashaya...or Mercy? Oh wait, that's me...hmm...how to influence you ^_~)

Boxers, briefs, boxer briefs, kilt, commando?
You know, I think I need a live floor-show before I can choose. Think you could organize it? ;) (Sarai?!?!! Can we? Tracy? May we please? I really would like to see it too. I'll even help round up the menz...I won't hurt them...much-unless they struggle, then it should all be fair game, right?)

Favorite book set on a tropical island?
I set my first ever full-length story on a tropical island - alas, no one appreciated my genius (I do! I really do!!!). I do have a favorite M&B title from years ago - it's probably 30 or 40 years old, and it's about a woman who goes to a tropical island and meets a domineering, bad-tempered hero. Turns out she has a tumor and he's the only surgeon who can operate on her (he hasn't been operating after a bad emotional trauma). I must've read this book a zillion times. In fact, writing this makes me want to go dig it up from my keepers. It's wildly romantic, and utter fantasy, and I love it! (the sex adds to it too, the steamy hot stuff, okay? not the lame flowery or blacked out types.)

What hero would you like to be your significant other
Decisions, decisions... It all depends on my mood. Sometimes, a regency rake sounds like fun, while other times, I want to curl up with a changeling. Then there are the days when you just need a bad boy. Hmm...can I have more than one? (Of course! You're just never going to leave)

If you were stuck on a desert island what 3 things would you bring
Water (I have a practical streak), a satellite telephone so I could talk to family and friends, and a friendly genie - who could get me an endless supply of books and other necessities. (better be a hot genie so you can give him a good rubbin- what? who said that?)

Favorite drink to bring to DIK party
Butterscotch Schnapps (mmmm...)

A free copy of THE MAGICAL CHRISTMAS CAT (to be posted out when Nalini gets her author copies) is up for grabs, just leave comment during the Nalini Hostage Crisis to be entered into this drawing. Winner will be drawn at random on Saturday! (Wheee!!!! And I didn't use the ropes once, I'm such a good girl *cough*)
