Today, I welcome Susan Palmquist to Five on Friday. She writes in different genres and under two different names. Check out her website and books at the links below.
How difficult could it be to take care of your five-year-old niece? Rob Conners thinks it’s going to be a breeze, but when Mollie gets gum in her hair there’s only one thing to do—head to the nearest hair salon.
Jenna Hopkins had one crush in high school and that was Rob Conners. She can’t believe he walked into her salon a decade later. The only course of action is to play it cool and pretend she never had fantasies about him.
However, despite the passing of ten years, the crush is still there and now it seems the attraction might be mutual. Can these two former classmates find love and happiness or are they both just dreaming?

FIVE ON FRIDAY
What’s the best advice you ever got?
It was from my paternal grandfather who told me to always be myself and say what I thought was right. He added that if I did that not everyone would like me but they’d respect me so it was my choice if I preferred to be liked or respected.
Ann: I always thought once I became a grandmother I’d be able to offer some wise advice like your grandfather. So far…not so much!
What is your favorite TV show of all times and why?
Breaking Bad because it has all the ingredients that makes a show compelling. Top notch performances from everyone in the show. Fantastic directing. And last but not least, brilliant writing. The show ended with me wanting more which is a rarity. I think I’m now of an age that I won’t live long enough to see another masterpiece like this come along again.
Ann: That show is on my to-watch list. One of these days I’ll binge it on Netflix!
A genie grants you three wishes. What would they be?
I think I’d only need one and that would be to time travel back in time with the knowledge I now have about everything that’s happened in my life and I’d change things for the better.
Ann: Oh…I don’t know, Susan. You know if you change one thing in the past, it changes lots of other things in the future. Time travel is tricky, and I’m a scaredy cat!
What would you choose as your mascot/avatar/spirit animal?
Without a doubt, a bear. I still have two teddy bears from childhood and bears or should I say, bear shifters, have been great for my career.
Ann: I have a regular response to this. I’m Texan, so I’d be an Armadillo!
What is the loveliest thing you have ever seen?
Seeing my soulmate for the very first time.
Ann: Awe…that’s sweet—and romantic. My soulmate, even though I’ve had him since high school and still love him like crazy…wouldn’t have made the top three for this question!
