5 Easy Questions is an interview is designed to be quick,
easy, and fun. Today’s guest is Kelley Heckart.What were you like when
you were in school?I was quiet and shy. My teachers wrote on my report cards that
I needed to speak up more in class.What is your favorite
quote?“Everyone thinks of changing the world, but no one thinks
of changing himself.” Leo TolstoyWhat was your favorite
book as a child?I started reading at age 4 so I don’t remember what I liked then,
but I do remember when I was a little older I liked the Nancy Drew series. I do
remember a favorite book as a pre-teen: Where the Red Fern Grows. I also liked The
Outsiders.What was the last movie
you watched (home or theater)?Divergent. I liked it because there was a strong female heroine
who wasn’t afraid to fight back.If the hero of your latest
book called you on the phone, what would be a perfect ringtone for him?My latest hero is a centaur shifter so I guess it would be a
song about horses. Wild Horses by the Rolling Stones would be his ringtone. I love
that song.About the Book
