Willow Watts, in Talli's latest book (released TODAY) has settled into a boring life until an impersonation of Marilyn Monroe she does goes viral on YouTube... so Talli has asked all of US who we'd be for a day, if we could get away with it...

JK Rowling... Author extraordinaire, responsible almost single-handedly for several new generations of excited readers...
There are several reasons I'd love to be Jo... She is WICKED smart, she is MAJORLY creative, she turned her life into a fairy tale, she is KIND, she keeps making amazing decisions (I mean would YOU realize what a win it would be to hold out on movies until they agreed to only make them very close to how you wrote them?), she is one thing I will surely never be: Classy...
And maybe, just maybe, if I was Jo for a day, I would come away from it with some of that magic...
Yup... that's my choice...
As for Talli...
She is getting a little slice of that dream today... I wish her a ton of luck with her latest book... and just so YOU get the proper temptation to go check it out...
About Watching Willow Watts
For Willow Watts, life has settled into a predictably dull routine:
days behind the counter at her father's antique shop and nights watching TV, as the pension-aged residents of Britain's Ugliest Village bed down for yet another early night. But everything changes when a YouTube video of Willow's epically embarrassing Marilyn Monroe impersonation gets millions of hits after a viewer spots Marilyn's ghostly image in a frame.
But when a former flame returns seeking the old Willow, Willow must decide: can she risk her stardom and her village's newfound fortune on love, or is being Marilyn her ticket to happiness?
And because now I KNOW you're tempted... Here is where to buy!

Congratulations to Talli on her release. Somehow I'm not surprised you chose Rowling, Hart! Great pick...every writer's dream!
Congratulations Talli. And I'd love to be Indiana Jones, visiting exotic and exciting places and talk about them to students.
Every Savage Can Reproduce
One thing the utterly fabulous JK Rowling is yet to be is being most NAKED!! Oh yes!!
Yay for your alter ego - what a great choice!!! Take care

Oh, I nearly had it. I thought you'd be Hermione! I did, I did! I'm going to go play in a minute.
Nice review by the by.
I wouldn't mind being married to Jo. She's amazing, brilliant, beautiful, a great writer, a philanthropist, and just seems like such a wonderful person.
JK Rowling is a great choice- she really is such an inspiration.
Fabulous choice! Smart, elegant, articulate... and great royalties! :)
Thank you so much for taking part! And for all your lovely words. I'm so thrilled with all the wonderful support I'm receiving from blogland... I couldn't do it without you. Big hugs!
Oh, excellent choice. I love it!
Such an excellent choice! She definitely lives the writer's dream.
I admire her too. Can't imagine writing all that in a cafe with a little baby to take care of. Amazing.
Great choice! She is such an inspiration - what an amazing woman!
I KNEW you'd pick her! :o)
She's awash in money. It'd be nice to have all that money.
Great choice. I just finished reading all seven HP books in record time. A great series. Good luck to you and your writing!
Thanks so much, everyone! Sorry i've been a bit absent today... work deadline and all, but I will try to hop around a bit, too...
You're right, in many ways most writers wish they were her.
LOL...YES! I won another bet! You and Michael are gonna make me rich...well not quite :)
Oh, great choice. JK is wonderfully talented, fabulous and, more important, nice. I'd like to be her too, especially when I'm opening my royalty statement... :)
Ooh, good luck Talli -- Watching Willow Watts sounds fabulous! It sounds like a great premise, and I love a dash of kissy-kissy romance with any story. :)
Fabulous choice, Hart! To get a glimpse into the fabulous mind of JKR, even for a day... talk about a dream come true. (Oh, and living the high life wouldn't be so bad either. :P)
Hart - you're totally classy. Getting some of the JKR magic would be amazing though. So I can see why you'd want to be her for a day.
Clarissa-a dream we all recognize, eh?
Siv-glad to be of service!!! teehee
Shirley-welcome! And yes, that nice piece is VERY important. There are other successful authors, but she's got the whole package.
Stacy-you totally should know Talli--you both write your romance with a lot of humor.
RaShelle-ME? Classy? *snort* erm... oops... I think i play too hard. I'm on a different axis...
Oh yeah - now that could be fun :) (I thought from the pic that you wanted to be the lust object of Harry and Ron!)
Lx
Yep, that'd work for me too!
The perfect choice... She is one amazing woman... but then, my dearest Hart, so are you.
Magic is all around us, we just have to grab it. At the right time, of course.
That's five JK's today!
I've only read one HP book, and didn't like it. But for JK Rawlings' salary I would probably be willing to write that kind of books >:)
Cold As Heaven
She is living the dream...
I had a sneaking suspicion JK was going to be your chosen one!
What wonderful support system Talli has! <3

Can Alex save Winter from the darkness that hunts her?
YA Paranormal Romance, Darkspell coming fall of 2011!
oh, what a great post! this is so much fun. Mine's going up tomorrow, but I could've predicted who you'd be. And I can see you being as magical as Jo~ :o) muwah~
I almost picked JK. I admire her so much for all that she accomplished and it just rocks that she is an author. Fuels all of our imaginations. Great choice!
Am I surprised that you picked her? I would love to have her money and success. An authors dream for sure.
