Fun Five
Miranda Kenneally

Author of Catching Jordan

1. When is the last time you had ice cream?
Last night! I had a Klondike bar. And yes, I’d do just about anything for a Klondike bar.

2. What is your favorite holiday?
Probably Independence Day, because I love fireworks and grilling out and patriotic music. I love the USA so bad.

3. How many times have you been on a plane?
Too many to count. One time I got to ride in the back of a C-160 Air Force cargo plane. These Air Force guys (yes, cute guys in fatigues) strapped me to the wall using a harness and gave me earplugs. The plane took off while the plank was still down, and all this wind rushed in as the plank came up. It was wild.

4. Describe your perfect afternoon.
Writing or reading, followed by Mexican food.

5. What piece of furniture do you like most?
This grungy green chair where I do all my writing and reading. It is so comfortable.

About Catching Jordan:
What girl doesn’t want to be surrounded by gorgeous jocks day in and day out? Jordan Woods isn’t just surrounded by hot guys, though – she leads them as the captain and quarterback on her high school football team. They all see her as one of the guys, and that’s just fine. As long as she gets her athletic scholarship to a powerhouse university. But now there’s a new guy in town who threatens her starring position on the team… and has her suddenly wishing to be seen as more than just a teammate.

From MirandaKenneally.com:
Also while in D.C., I’ve re-embraced writing, which I loved so much as a kid. The first thing I ever had published was a short story for a publication at a writing camp I attended when I was eleven. The name of the story was Patsy’s Prancing Poodles, a comedy about a circus performer who decides to do a tightrope act with her poodles. Obviously, the story was absolute crap, but I loved seeing my work in print. And, of course, I was majorly jealous of my friend Rachel’s story. She wrote an awesome mystery about some stolen shoes or something, and I remember thinking, “Damn, why didn’t I write a mystery? This is suspenseful. This is cool. This is much better than some lame poodles doing flips on a high wire.”
