This week is your chance to catch us in our own fiction!
I asked Christine London to tell me about herself and one thing she said isn't quite true....which is it?
Christine said: Hi Regan! Thanks for
allowing me to visit your blog today. Oh my, what a topic. I have to tell you
that I am a lousy fibber, at least in person. Whew...no video or cam here so I
might be safe.
Okay-- here
goes:
"Tell us three things
about yourself and one lie."
You, my dear peeps,
have to decide which one is the lie. That means a comment on your part. Oh, did
I tell you that your comment might just win a free e-book? And furthermore you
might be the winner of a FIFTY DOLLAR AMAZON GIFT CERTIFICATE to be awarded at
the end of July?
Yes--that bit is all
true. Good luck!
1) I was the youngest
member of the well respected South Bay Los Angeles concert singers, Los
Conciertos at the tender age of seventeen. I concurrently performed in my high
school master chorale, then university adjunct to the L.A. Master Choral
directed by the amazing Paul Salamonovich. Presently I sing in a vocal jazz pop
octet, A Choired Taste.
2) I once crashed the
Ischia International Film Festival on the Amalphi Coast Island of Ischia — later
including the caper in my novel Leap Of Faith.
3) Gerard Butler and I
chatted in a dark cinema hallway before he joined a group to discuss the film in
which he portrays a ex-biker gang member, Sam Childers, in the film Machine Gun
Preacher. The real life hero of the movie chuckled at the notion that a romance
writer was attending the premiere of his docudrama about a renegade militia that
forces East African orphans to become soldiers before they even reach their
teens. Determined to save as many as possible, he leads armed missions deep into
enemy territory to retrieve kidnapped children to the security of the orphanage
he founded, restoring peace in their lives—and eventually his own.
4) I came in first in
my age category—my first official 5 K run. "Jet to Jetty" event benefiting
Airport Marina mental Health held on Dockweiler Beach Playa del Rey Los Angeles
County in 2005.
Okay--which is the
lie? Why do you think I am fibbing about that one? What cool and perhaps
unbelievable thing have you done about which people might guess you were
fibbing?
I can't wait to tour
around the other author's blogs to see what mischief they have been up to in
their lives and what you readers have to say! Come on over to my blog and see
what author Ann Tracy has to fib about.

I bet you are tone deaf, Christine. It wouldn't be fair for you to be as good a singer as you are a writer.

DeleteNo, Ann Tracy, I think she is a good singer.....um....Gerard Butler. Could you really get him on his own? If so, I want a FULL breakdown on him and all the inside information LOL.
ReplyDeleteChristine, I have to believe it's the Gerard Butler tale. Of course, that because I would be so insanely jealous of you if you were in touching distance of such a charming creature! Loved your post and could see you singing and running.
ReplyDeleteOh my gosh! You completely dazzle me, Christine! I think they are all true lol that is how convincing you are ***wink wink wink wink*** Okay I will take a leap of faith and guess that you crashed the film festival?
ReplyDeleteI think it's #2...I know you sing Christine and you probably did meet Gerry in the hallway outside the Q&A one time. I also talked to him in the hallway before one of his Q&As so I know it's possible. I don't think you crashed Ischia...#4 is entirely possible.
ReplyDeleteMarg
I was going to go for Geral Butler but now I'm convinced the lie is number 2. 'crashed the Ischia International Film Festival on the Amalphi Coast Island of Ischia'. I think this is a figment of your over active imagination and that's why this caper is included in your novel, Leap of Faith. :)
ReplyDeleteThanks for the writing complement. :)
ReplyDeleteTone deaf, eh? lol.
Seems the leader in lies is the crasher theory. Hmm...
ReplyDeleteIt does seem a tad unlikely now doesn't it? I will disclose on Sunday which is the lie. ;)
