Today my WBFF (Writing Best Friend Forever) is sharing her favorite five. Why do I love Ciara? Well she is the best critique partner ever, she is loyal, caring and kind. Plus she’s easy to get along with, we have the best time when we do conferences and other writer events together.
Ladies and Gentlemen, my WBFF…
Ciara Knight’s Five Favorite Things
Favorite Beverage – - COFFEE!!! Yep, total addict. I’ve been really good lately. I only have one cup a day, but it is my favorite part of the day.
Favorite Room in Your House – - Keeping Room. It is where my family spends the most time together. It is off the kitchen, so I can cook and still chat with family and friends.
Favorite Place in Town where you live - - I love to write at a local coffee shop. The smell of coffee and people watching always stimulates my creativity. Not to mention I enjoy, coffee. 
Favorite Outfit – - I have a dress that I love, but never get to wear it. Things are just not dressy anymore. I even have matching purse, shoes, and jewelry.
Favorite Book (Your Book or WIP of course) – - I’m totally in love with my current young adult post-apocalyptic series, The Neumarian Chronicles. It is edgy, dark, but not graphic. Weighted is a short prequel to introduce the series. It’s receiving great reviews, so I’m excited about the release on August 21st! The first full-length book, Escapement is due out in early 2013.
Weighted blurb:
The Great War of 2185 is over, but my nightmare has just begun. I am being held captive in the Queen’s ship awaiting interrogation. My only possible ally is the princess, but I’m unsure if she is really my friend or a trap set by the Queen to fool me into sharing the secret of my gift. A gift I keep hidden even from myself. It swirls inside my body begging for release, but it is the one thing the Queen can never discover. Will I have the strength to keep the secret? I’ll know the answer soon. If the stories are true about the interrogators, I’ll either be dead or a traitor to my people by morning.

The Romance Reviews
Yay. What a fun post. LOVE that dress!!!
Great post! I have trouble stopping at one cup of coffee though
Love the sound of your new book and series – can’t wait to read it!
Very pretty dress! I’m ashamed to say I don’t even OWN a dressy dress anymore. I need to get myself one. And then find somewhere to wear it.
Good morning, WBFF!! Thanks so much for having me here today. I always love to visit here.
Lynn ~ My husband bought it for me.
Katie ~ Thanks! That means a lot to me.
Patty ~ I usually keep one nice dress. I never know when a corporate event will be surprised on me.
Great post! Coffee does rule us, doesn’t it?
Heather
I think you should go out for lunch in a nice place with your best friend within driving distance and wear that dress!! Just because other people don’t dress up anymore doesn’t mean you can’t. It’s so pretty. And I’ve never heard of the phrase “keeping room.” I’ve only heard it called a family room, only in Canada eh??! Great post, ladies.
Ciara is definitely made of total awesomeness! I love the idea of that keeping room. Calling it that gives me a sense of ownership and unity. Cool.
Great dress. We call ours the ‘junk room’ LOL. Good luck with your book.
Heather ~ Yay, fellow coffee drinker.
Pat ~ I meant to include a picture of the keeping room and forgot. It is just a small room off kitchen with a fireplace. It’s calm and cozy.
Sheri ~ You are right. Never thought of it that way.
Marian ~ Thanks
We have a living room and family room, so the keeping room is just a small room off the kitchen that everyone hangs out in when cooking.
Great five! And I love the dress! Woot! Congrats on your latest, it looks so good.
Very cute dress! And the cover of Weighted is beautiful
Jody
Rachel ~ Thanks!
Thanks, Jody!
That is a book signing dress if I ever saw one!
That dress is so pretty! I like it
Cafes, coffee and writing just go together. IMHO.
Lol – my iPad changed Cafes to cages. Sometimes writing feels like a cage.
Brinda ~ I’ll wear it to the next signing.
Shelley ~ LOL. I have such a hard time with that on my phone.
I adore the cover for Weighted!
Thanks, Lindsey!!
Hi Ciara,
Great to join you and your favorite dress. I too have stuff in my closet which just hangs around because the occasion isn’t there to wear! Love the cover of ‘Weighted’ and the blurb. Spells a ‘must read’!! I’m with you on the coffee too
I love the coffee too, maybe too much
Great five and love the dress. Maybe if you win a Rita you can wear it there

Anju ~ Thanks! Yes, coffee is not a luxury, but a necessity.
