Ten Silly Ones in a Row with Romance Author KC Kendricks

I sat down with KC Kendricks in Manhattan recently, where we enjoyed a fabulous dinner at Thomas Keller's Per Se restaurant, where we each enjoyed the tasting menu (at $150 per person, but hey, KC claimed to be treating). I was dismayed to find, at the end of our meal, that KC said she had to step outside to make a phone call.

She never returned.

I am posting her interview anyway. And KC, darling, you owe me $300. I'll absorb the $60.00 tip because that's just the kind of guy I am.

1.  If you could invite any famous person, dead or alive, for dinner, what would you eat?

I’d grill up some burgers and franks, maybe make a tossed salad.  They could eat it or starve. Or take me out to dinner on their dime. [RR: This is about the response I'd expect.]

2.  Who do you think you are? 

Hmm. I’m a Gemini. To which of us are you directing this question?

3.  What’s your problem?

Problem? I have no problems, only solutions which do not yet have viable applications.

 

4.  If you could have one wish, would you give it to me?

Heck, no. Go get your own wish. I worked too hard to get this one and I’m not giving it up. [RR: This is the answer I would expect.]

5.  Where you at?

Oh, somewhere near Latitude = 39, Longitude = -77

  

6.  If you had to choose only one vice, what would it be?

What? I have to get rid of all of them but one? That’s not fair, but for the sake of your questions, I will not give up drinking wine. I know, I know. Not much of a vice, but my life is really pretty vice-free. 

7.  What’s your favorite brand of cereal?

Corn Chex. Except when it’s Frosted Mini-Wheats.

8.  When you wake up in the morning, what celebrity do you most resemble?

Lily Munster, and occasionally Rachel Welch. [RR: Me too!]

9.  Do you know your ass from a hole in the ground? And if so, how do you tell the difference? 

Rick, hon, as a gay man, I think you are infinitely more acquainted with asses and holes than I. I’ll defer to your greater wisdom and experience on this one. [RR: Uh, thank you. I think.]

10.    Do you have anything you’d like to plug?

Sure! Check out my website. All my books are listed there. I have a new announcement only mailing list I’m trying to grow, so go on over and sign up.

PS. You have donated your brain to science, right? [RR: Define brain.]
