FRIDAY FIRSTS with author Calisa Rhose

The First Five Sentences of... HOME

Everything looks the same, even after three years.

The thought dragged through Sam Callahan’s mind like a stick through thick mud as he meandered along Center Street in front of the Five and-Dime. Across the street was the Mercantile and, next to it, the Cold-and-Ready Soda Shop bursting with teens filling up on ice cream and soda. He remembered when he’d been one of those kids. Popular, full of life, with high hopes. The drugstore was still between the antique store and Henderson’s Hardware.

FUN FIRST FACTS ABOUT CALISA

1. What’s the first thing you notice on an attractive member of the opposite sex?

Hair, or the lack of if that’s his ‘style,’ or his eyes. Usually the eyes. But ultimately my gaze will generally take flight and soak in those biceps. I’m a sucker for muscular arms. Not overly muscled to the point of grotesque though, oh no.

2. If you had a free afternoon, what’s the first thing you’d do?

That’s a hard one because I’m pretty much tied down caring for FIL these days. I’m afraid I’d be like a wired kid in a candy store trying to do too many things at once until I end up napping like a baby from exhaustion. LOL. What I’d like to do after all that is take in a matinee. I haven’t done that in ages.

3. If you could live your life over again, what’s the first thing you’d do differently or change?

That one’s easy. I’d spend hours just talking with my parents and gramma about family and my heritage and stuff like that that I didn’t think to ask about before they passed away, but is now too late to do.
