Get to Know Me Tag :)

I was tagged by the lovely @sheralynnramsey, thanks hon! 💖

Name: Veronica Asch 

⭐ Sign: I’m an Aquarius sun, Taurus moon, and Aries rising--and I fit the three perfectly.

Gender: Female

Height: 5′4

Sexuality: Bisexual (technically pan, I use the terms interchangeably)

What Image is Your Wallpaper?

This is my phone wallpaper!!  Unfortunately I don’t remember the source, it was from somewhere on Tumblr ;; My laptop background is a boring picture of the ocean and my phone lockscreen is the American flag lol, neither are interesting enough for me to bother sharing. 

Where do you 👀 yourself in ten years: Ideally?  Married, in a decent house, working as a full time writer (SUPER ideal would be a bestselling author, but I’ll take medical journalist as an ideal alternative).  More realistically?  Writing part time and working a full time job as a nurse managing infection control programs. 

What was your coolest Halloween costume: My mom and I made a crazy/deranged clown costume from scratch one year.  That was stressful but damn was it cool

What’s your favorite 90’s show: King of the Hill

Last 😘: December 2017

Have you ever been stood up: Yep.  Never on a “real” date, but by friends and informal time with SOs? For sure

Have you ever been to Las Vegas: HELL YEAH.  I love Vegas, and I’m not even 21.  I just love the vibes, the crowds... the Strip is fantastic, and there’s this pretty good Thai place like 10 minutes north of the Strip! (I have family 2 hours south, so I’ve been to Vegas plenty of times)

Favorite pair of shoes: Never underestimate a good pair of Nike sneakers!! I’ve had my current pair for two years, it’s been through two hard jobs (softball park and lab research, both meant long hours standing/lifting and filthy grounds) and they’re still solid, supportive, absolutely my go-to shoes. 

OK Nike, when are y’all gonna sponsor me in exchange for my advertising??

Favorite fruit: Mangoes? 

Favorite 📓: The Heroes & the whole First Law Trilogy by Joe Abercrombie, or Lolita by Vladimir Nabokov. 

Stupidist Thing You’ve Ever Done: I don’t know, I’ve done a lot of dumb shit... I guess being asked to promise something and then actually promising it is pretty fucking stupid in terms of emotional consequence.

From Eosophobia...

A smile blossoms across her face, dark freckles leaning in conspiratorially. “You’ll be needing better company than that sniper,” Nadege insists.  “Men like him are always more than they seem, and there ain’t no telling if it’ll be good or bad for ya in the end.”

“Bad for my purse in either case,” Jackal sighs, and startles--lightning rod jerking snapping burning down his spine--at the gushing giggles that burst out of her.  He takes a long drink from the stained glass in his hands, watching as she steadies herself with a deep breath, before leaning closer.  “I can’t keep you safe.”

“I can take care of myself, kiddo.  It’s the would that oughta be afraid of me.” 

I can’t count, don’t worry about it.

Flirt Tag :)

I was tagged by the lovely @briannadeberry, thanks hon! <3

Rules:  Share a line/short excerpt where your characters flirt and then tag others!

Viktor’s chest is firm behind him, radiating warmth—Jackal is horrified that he might melt in Viktor’s embrace, smelling sweet as he burns into smoke, never able to put his wet wax self back together.  Viktor’s inked fingers wrap around his wrists, carefully guiding his aim. The gun in his hands seems a million miles away.  Jackal’s own hands seem so distant that they could be statues, outstretched and unfeeling; every sensation is focused on the fire pressed to his back in the form of a drunk bastard.  Viktor’s whiskey-smoke breath curls against him, low and whimsical.  “Does aiming like this help?”

“Not really,” he whispers.  Jackal is doing his best to just hold the gun in his hands.  Viktor’s warmth is equal parts nauseating and intoxicating, like ocean waves rocking him gently until the world spins and he’s unable to find his footing.  

This isn’t really flirting but I liked this more than my actually flirty lines :’)
