Shooting the Shit with Indie Author Victoria Barrow

Victoria Barrow is a new indie writer who recently published Siren Snow, the first book in the Redhaven Saga series. Victoria recently talked about her writing and inspiration.  Let’s learn more about Victoria as a person…

 

Favorite food and drink

Orange Chicken. I could eat that stuff forever. With some fried rice. Mmmm. Drink? Orange soda, perhaps? I like oranges, apparently.

Favorite books
This is always a hard one. I have a bunch of them, but if I had to pick just one to read for the rest of forever, it might be The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy. I've never had a book make me laugh before. Baring that, I'll gobble up anything modern-fantasy. I used to read a TON of Laurell K. Hamilton, but her later books have kind of turned me off. Need to find a new series, I guess.

Favorite music

My musical tastes are varied. I like everything from Bach to Maroon 5. (Though I really love Maroon 5.) My favorite song in the world is How To Save a Life by the Fray. I've been listening to a lot of The Moon and the Nightspirit and Two Steps From Hell lately, though.

Favorite movies

I'm a sucker for horror movies. The first Paranormal Activity creeped the crap out of me, and my favorite movie to date is Dawn of the Dead (the new one... more gore, bwahahaha.)

Favorite TV Shows

I'm totally obsessed with The Following right now, and I tune in every Sunday for the Walking Dead. Beyond that, I really enjoy Grey's Anatomy and Glee. I was hooked on Emily Owens M.D. for a while, but then they cancelled it, and I was so sad! I also really love Big Bang Theory. I would have Sheldon Cooper's smart little babies. (Sorry Kev!)

Best memory from childhood

My family and I took a roadtrip when I was in middle school to Florida, and we went to Disneyworld. It was probably the best thing ever. (Who doesn't love Disney? :D)

Best memory from adulthood

Probably the day/night my boyfriend proposed to me. (Which was actually December 8th of last year, so fairly recent.) It was super romantic, and in a garden at Disneyland. (See? See? Disney is magical...)

Life of the party or stand back and observe?

I like to observe. I'm kind of a wall flower. Plus, it's fun to people watch.

What makes you rage?

Allergies. I hate sneezing and itchiness. Also, hiccups. For whatever reason, I get really pissed off when I have hiccups and they won't go away. Go figure, eh?

What makes you giggle?

My fiance. He's goofy, and even when I get mad at him, he makes me laugh. (Damn you, Kev!)
