Hi everybody! I found out about the Follow Fest at the last minute, and couldn't help but join in, even though I've never participated in a blog hop/fest before. Thanks to Melissa Maygrove for coming up with such a great idea! Be sure to check out all the cool authors signed up by clicking the Follow Fest picture above.
Now for the questions.
Now for the questions.
Name: Ava Quinn
Fiction or nonfiction? Fiction. (Though everything on this blog is true. Except for the stuff that isn't.)
What genres do you write? Contemporary Western Romance.
Are you published? Not Yet.
Do you do anything in addition to
writing? I mom, I work with a room full of three year olds 4 days a week, and I write. Did I mention that I mom?
Where can people connect with you?
Here at Tongue in Cheek or at my website avaquinn.com.
Is there anything else you’d like
us to know?
I'm currently the president of my local chapter of Romance Writers of America. I ride a motorcycle. I'm the former 'Possum Queen of my county. I battle against the Sea Monkey tribe attempting to take over my bathtub when not trying to convert them to be my minions. And I occasionally find time to write.

Nice to meet you Ava. Good luck with your writing, and much success in the future.
Hey Ava...
I'm following your blog, but wondered if you had a Facebook page or twitter acct. Would love to have more than one way to see you around the blogosphere. My blog visiting time is limited, as I use many forms of social interaction. Stop by sometime!
M.L. Swift, Writer
Hi Ava!
Good luck with Follow Fest! You must have tremendous energy to work with so many little ones at once...;~)
I am host of WRITERLY WISDOM WEDNESDAYS on my blog where authors, agents, and illustrators provide guest posts on everything regarding the writing and publishing industry. Come by some time and join the fun!
Take care,
Donna L Martin
I'm glad you decided to take part in Follow Fest! :)
Hey Ava, it's great to meet you. I like the new use of "mom" as a verb :) It SHOULD be one, I think!
Being a mum, one of the toughest jobs in the world. It definitely deserves a double mention. Really pleased to meet you and look forward to getting to know you better.
Hey, I write westerns too! Nice to "meet" you.
Ha ha, love your answers and your blog subtitle. :) Nice to meet you!
Nice to meet you! Western Romance sounds like a fun genre. Best of luck with your writing!
I definitely think 'mom' should officially be a verb.
And I really want to read your contemporary western romance.
Thanks, Cathrina! Back atcha in spades! ;)
Hi, Mr. Swift. Thanks so much for following!
Yeah, I need to get a tee shirt that reads, "No, really, I'm not on Facebook". Which I know is insane in this day and age, but I'm stuck living in the 80's with my vinyl record collection and my love of rotary dial phones. Someday, when it's about to go out of style, I'm sure I'll pick then to join.
But I'd love to check you out, I think I'll need to make a google plus acct. I'm on it!
Thanks, Donna. That Wednesday blog sounds great. I'll have to stop by soon.
Thanks, Melissa. You had a really great idea! Thanks for spreading the love!
Thanks, Liz. It's great to meet you too!
Yes, momming is definitely an action verb around Chez Quinn. (VERB- It's what's happening! Gotta love School House Rock.)
Thanks for stopping by and following!
Thanks, Joss. You sound like you speak from experience, lol!
Hey, Milo. Very cool.
I just finished reading Cold Dish by Craig Johnson (Yes, I'm late on the bandwagon, but note the mom thing, lol. I was late reading Ready Player One too, but better late than never, especially with those books.)
And I'm a Lamour and Max Brand fan from way back.
Thanks for stopping in!
Thanks, Charlie! It's great to "meet" you too!
Hey, Sherry! Thanks! And it's really nice to meet you too.
I definitely like writing about life in the West. My parents live in Montana, so I get to see it first hand sometimes.
Best of luck in your writing too!
Hi Ava, good to meet you through Follow Fest. Good luck with your writing.
Hey, M.J.! Yes, mom is definitely an official verb at Casa de Quinn.
And thanks for saying you want to read my book. Female pool hustler has a run in with a small town sheriff. Hilariousness and serial killers ensue. (See how easy blurbs are?)
I'm still waiting to get my hands on Effigy. When? WHEN???
Good to meet you. I'm from up north in Michigan, so we don't have many cowboys up here. And Facebook isn't necessary for an author, as long as you have a good website.
Hi Christine! It's so nice of you to stop in. Good luck with your writing as well!
Hey, Chemist Ken. I love your handle. I'm a teacher from way back, and got my masters in science ed., so in my world- science, it be bitchin'!
Thanks for them kind Facebook words. I usually get looked at like I'm a freak when I say that publicly. lol.
Yeah, not a lot of cowboys up by you, but if you go much further north you'll meet up with some crafty Kanucks, eh?
Thanks for stopping in!
Gnome Defense League - I love it ( : Great to meet you through Follow Fest and best of luck with your WIPs. That is a fantastic genre!
Interesting character you are, Ava! It's really nice to meet you here in this blog fest, and I'm gladly follow.
Thanks, Sara! It's good to be a gnome. Especially when an underground Polka contingency from Eastern Europe took over my blog last year. The Gnome Defense League came to the rescue and thwarted those oom-pah-pahing insurgents.
It's great to meet you too! Good luck on your new book coming out!
LOL! Thanks Nancy! It's so good of you to notice. I try to keep a low profile, but it just never seems to work!
It's great to meet you, and thanks so much for following!
Love the theme for your blog!Hopefully we'll exchange info on publishing advice :) Glad we could connect!
I love how you make the word 'mom' a verb. Because it certainly is an action verb.
Thanks, Guinevere & Libertad! I'm so glad you stopped by. I'm always up for learning something new, especially about writing and publishing.
Thanks, Sue! You know twice as well as I do that it's a verb considering you are a mom to twice as many children than me! :)
Good luck with your writing, Ava! It's so good to meet you. I hear you about the mom-ing. I can't believe you have energy to work with a roomful of three-year-olds, too.
It's nice to meet you! I wish you much luck with your writing. :) I'm happy to meet other bloggers thanks to follow fest!
Thanks, Jennifer. Yes, most days I have the energy for the preschoolers I teach. Then there's the other days! lol! Thanks so much for stopping by and commenting.
Hey Panda Ninja! Great profile picture. I'm glad you stopped in and introduced yourself. :)
Possum Queen? How fun is that!! Thanks for stopping by my blog, Ava! I look forward to keeping up with you and your writing!
Yay for motorcycles! I ride dirtbikes, different than a streetbike but a similar passion, I think.
Hi Ashley, welcome to my trailerhood, where the screen door always has a hole in it and the opossum is cooked rare on the grill.
Just kidding, all part of that tongue in cheek thing. I'm glad you stopped in!
Absolutely similar, Igkelso! I ride a Ninja, but I've never ridden a dirtbike. I'm really glad to meet another female rider. It seems like we're few and far between. :)
Nice to mean you!
And sea monkey minions sound awesome. ;-)
Hi Ava! Nice to meet you and thanks for stopping by my blog. Looking forward to your posts!!
Great to meet you, Ava!
Nice to meet you too, Misha. Yes, Sea Monkey minions strike fear into the hearts of the unsuspecting, though they are a bit soggy.
Hey Randi Lee! Thanks for swinging by! :)
Hi Carol! Thanks for popping over to say hi! It's really nice to meet you too! :)
Hi, Ava - anyone who 'moms' in addition to being the Possum Queen is too awesome for words. And after reading your post I'm chuckling. I've 'added' you (and will enjoy reading what you have to say!)
Diana at About Myself By Myself
Thanks, Diana. Yes, things get a little crazy over here. Kind of like a clown-car wreck.
Thanks for stopping in!
