It’s time for the next King’s CROWNing Authors (Cajoling Random Observations Now) interview. Please welcome, Brenda Drake.

1. What does Twitter mean to you?

Friends and community.

2. Can I eat a hashtag with chocolate spread?

Only if you add peanut butter and put it on top of a graham cracker.

3. It is actually sunny here in Ireland…

when you smile.

4. If I say – but I had to use the tea he needed to learn his lesson, then you’d say –

and then I had to use the cream to lessen the bite.

5. You are really nice on Twitter and always engage so beautifully, have you ever had to deal with trolls?

Yes, and I chain them up under a bridge and ignore their jeers.

6. Define: ice-cream using utensils.

I’m drawing a blank on this one. Sorry. I got nothing.

7. Make up a book title using the song that’s buzzing around your head, the last thing you ate and the colour to your right.

Take Me To Church and Feed Me Almonds in the Blackness.

8. What is the weirdest question you’ve ever been asked?

All of the questions in this interview. Ha!

9. What question would you like to ask?

Brenda: Where do you see your writing going by the end of this year?

Moloney King: I see your writing going from strength to strength. We’ve been following each other on Twitter for a long time and you are always so positive and focused. And I’d like to copy that. Meet you a book shop some day when we are both in there signing our own books, eh?

10. Please ask me a question.

Where did you come up with such zany questions?

From the cat, well she ran away after I went on holidays. Well, she was never my cat to begin with – just a wounded stray. I minded her from afar (I don’t like cats, they seem so much smarter than dogs). Well, if she were here then I’m sure she would look at me and ask these questions.

Thank you, Brenda.
