About Hot Shot Headlines

I started Hot Shot Headlines several years ago as a way to continue blogging after college. I was assigned to create a blog in my Computer-Mediated Communication class with Dr. Bill Stuart in 2009. I decided to write about movies that my classmates may have never seen before. Several people complimented my writing, so I knew I wanted to blog in my spare time. After several failed blog attempts, I wanted to combine my Mass Media education with writing. The result has been this amazing experience where I’ve been able to connect with so many people around the world! Thanks to everyone who has read my posts, liked them, commented on them, shared them, and appreciated my writing. It means the world to me!

Questions from Jenna

One. If you could have any superpower, what would it be and why?

• I would love to be invisible – Think Harry Potter’s Invisibility Cloak! That would be amazing!

Two. What are your top three book/book series?

1. Harry Potter series
2. The Great Gatsby
3. Anything American Girl-related, but especially the Historical Fiction

Three. What is your favourite colour and why (i.e., reminds you of something, etc.)?

• I love the color green – It represents many things in my life. I have a green birthstone (peridot, for August), I’ve been a die-hard Green Bay Packers fan for practically my whole life, I love the green grass and trees, and my sorority colors are green and gold (Alpha Sigma Tau).

Four. If you could become part of a book, television or movie fictional world, which one would it be?

• This question is so hard for me, simply because I love so many types of books, television series, and movies! But, if I had to pick just one, I would love to be part of the Harry Potter books / movies. It’s an amazing world!

Five. What are you currently reading? How would you rate it at this moment?

• I just started reading The Lost Symbol by Dan Brown. It’s good, so far!
