If your book was adapted would you prefer a TV show, a movie, a play, or something else?

-Oooh, that one's hard, Probably TV Show, because, you could get a fair bit out of space detectives, maybe a bit like sherlock or something.

Choose TWO of these things that you can have complete control over in the adaption (movie, TV show, etc) of your book (and explain what you would do with them): soundtrack/ score, cast, director and producers, screenplay, set and costumes, marketing (i.e. posters, taglines, merchandise), cinematography, official website design, special effects, editing, set locations

-Screenplay, Because there are so many things that go wrong with adaptations, just try and keep it to the original story, and special effects, just to make sure no one goes overboard with CGI and everything looks nice.

Would you rather take a Vampire or a Werewolf in a fight?

-Depends on the day, is it a full moon, because then i'd go vampire, but anything else i'd go werewolf.

Which celebrity would you want to go to the formal/ prom/ end of year dance/ party with?

-I have no clue, someone interesting, so i could talk to them and stuff without it being all awkward.

Which celebrity would you like to be pen pals with?

- Matt Smith, so I could learn what it's like to work with great writers and on one of the best Sci Fi shows ever.
