Here’s my question and all the authors’ answers: If you could have any superpower, what would it be and why?
Anya ~ I would love to have healing ability. You can have all the money and security in the world, a good job, a nice place to live, ect, but if you or one of your family members is seriously sick it turns the whole world dark. So I would love the ability to heal.
Jaci ~ Supersonic speed. I could get so much work done this way, and I’d never miss a deadline!
Lauren ~ Hmmmm – for selfish reasons, I’d like the ability to heal – the why is because my oldest has a disease I’d love to cure.
Megan ~ My superpower would be to never need sleep. I’d get a whole lot more accomplished during the day if I didn’t have to sleep.
Joey ~ Invisibility, because it could get me out of just about any tight spot – kidnapping, mugging…the ordeal of looking like an uncomfortable geek at a social function. Instead I could eavesdrop on conversations and then re-materialize with something interesting and relevant to say – or more likely stay invisible and get story ideas from the conversations I overhear.
Mandy ~ Telekinesis because really, is there anything cooler than glancing at that lady in the coffee shop who keeps cutting in line, day after day, and making her slip and wear what she was in such a hurry to get to?
Shiloh ~ The power to wave my hand and viola…all messes are cleaned up. Might sound lame, but I spend soooooo much time picking up things up, time I could spend reading, writing…sleeping…
Patrice ~ I would want the ability to teleport. The money I’d save on gas would pay for a lot of lattes. Not to mention, I’d never be late for anything!
Okay, now that you’ve read our answers to my question, leave a comment answering the question above and you’ll be entered for a chance to win a signed copy of SCIONS:REVELATION (my upcoming December release). Don’t forget to head over to each of the author’s blogs listed above and read their questions and all the Magnificent Eight Authors’ answers, reply to each question on each blog to be entered for a chance to win a prize given away by each author. Eight blogs and EIGHT chances to win, so go blog hopping!
You’ve got until 7:00 pm EST on FRIDAY, November 7th to answer the question on my blog and I’ll announce a winner of a signed copy of SCIONS:REVELATION on Friday night.
Have fun!

Oh, how I love these authors-coming-together-things! I think it’s so interesting to hear what different things everyone answers to the same questions.
Now to my answer.
Well, I thought about it a long time, because having ANY superpower would be cool, but I’ve made my decision.
I think I’d love to have power over the elements (or at least one of them). I mean, what is stronger than nature itself? And you could get out of almost every mess without so much as a wave of your hand.
Your oven doesn’t work? - You can warm your things up with a nice little flame.
The bitch from your office is swaggering about her superlong, well-shaped legs and emphasizes them with a ubershort miniskirt? - Just a little breeze and everyone’s laughing about the cellulitis on her butt.
(Oh, I’m soooo evil! LOVE evil 
)
I realize I sound like a commercials guy - “Buy our new element superpowers right now and you get it reduced by half!”
Ah, I think I should stop now, ahem…

OH.. I’d love to be able to teletransport so I could easily visit friends on the other side of the world. Would cut down on transportation expenses, greatly.

Hairlessness. Because shaving doesn’t last long, I can’t afford laser removal, and I’m not masochistic enough for waxing ;-)
Have a lovely day! :-)

I would like to be able to fly at any speed I wanted. Then I could visit anywhere in the world for a day or a few hours. Also I wouldn’t have to worry about traffic and time crunches!

I’d like the ability to remove the calories from food with affecting it in any other way (taste, texture, etc). I’d be rich, slim and have people begging to do my will! *evil cackle* Whoa, what a head rush!

I believe I would want the ability to see the future. To be able to know what is going to happen and do my best to change a bad outcome to good. I might even be able to find a guy that will stick around that way…I so hate being single.

I’d love to have a photographic memory. You’d be able to be super smart and successful at everything: languages, everyday tasks etc. Plus you’d never forget a name, face, or birthday so it’d help socially as well.

I’m with Shiloh, I always said I wanted the “point and clean” finger. I hate cleaning. It ranks up there with paying bills, lol.
Great day, ladies!

Good morning Patrice,
This is my 1st time here. I came over from Lauren’s blog!
Superpower: I’m gonna go with the healing power. To be able to heal others (animals included) that would be wonderful. I’d like it to be retro ~25 years though!
Have a great day,

MIND READING. Then I would know what my husband was really saying or feeling instead of me feeling like I am talking to a wall.

A great metabolism, then I could eat whatever I want. Okay, not really a superpower, but it would sure be great.
If I had to have a “real” superpower it would be teleportation. It would come in handy for my 30 mile commute.

At fist I thought mind reading, but then I figured why not go for total mind control. I could make my kids eat their veggies and clean their rooms, make my husband give me foot rubs whenever I wanted, and make my boss give me days off with pay whenever I didn’t feel like working…..sounds like heaven to me!

*waving* Hi, Patrice!
Here’s wishing you loads of luck with the release tomorrow!
This is a question that I usually answer with “teleporting”–my family lives in another country, and the eldest monster is attending college on the other side of the continent, can you imagine the money and inconvenience avoided by teleporting?
And if I could teleport someone with me–by hugging them?–bonus!

I am going to go for the power to manipulate time. That would come in handy but, since I am lazy, I have a feeling I would abuse it.
Lisa T, I really like your responses. I like your limo and your instant clean ideas!

I would love the power to eliminate all the calories from chocolate.
Okay, really I would love the healing powers as well. It would be wonderful to not feel so helpless when the people you love are hurting or sick. I just think of all the good that could be done with this one, so that would have to be my choice.

Hmm I’d have to say I’d love to be able to teleport. That way when I’m having a bad day at work or just in general I could zap my butt to a tropical island or with a hunky stranger or both or hmmm…the possibilities are endless! hehehe

Easy….telekinesis. Yeah, a lot of people may want that one, but it’s the closest thing I would get to having multiple arms without actually having the multiple arms. I could fix dinner, play with my son, read a book, sweep the house, and do laundry all at the same time and while I’m sitting on the couch. That would make it worth it to me.

Superpower? That’s a tough one. I think I’d go with the ability to fix anything. Not just heal the sick or that but fix whatever is wrong, broken toy, done. Car crash, turn back time and stop the crash. Yep, I think being able to fix anything would be best.

I agree that teleporting would be amazing & save on gas!, but I think I would like the ability to make someone tell the truth–probably by direct contact, but maybe with something making contact, like Wonder Woman’s lasso did.

Although it could prove uncomfortable,I would like to have the ability to receive the truth to any question. It would really come in handy at election time, but might not be so great when I ask the old “Does this make my butt look big?”.(Shudder)
by Crystal Dee

You know, my choice used to always be teleportation. I still think it’s an excellent one - but … shapeshifting might be it. Like Mystique from X-Men? Then… who cares what you eat? As long as I stay relatively healthy, I can eat what I want and always be a size 2. 
I miss those days. And I’ll probably never see them again.

I always thought rogue’s power of havign anyone’s power was cool from X-Men…but obviously if no one else had powers i’d be useless. So i’d probably go for invisibility so i can eavesdrop on people easier.

Oooh.. tough question! I can only pick one? I think I’ll go with telekinesis. It would make my life easier on a day to day basis from cleaning to laundry to cooking!
by Joey

Am I limited to just one superpower? In that case, I’d wield complete power over the weather–that way anytime I was ticked off with somebody, I’d smite them with a bolt of lightening.

I’ve thought for a long time the the ability to heal others would be fantastic.
But that could be very dangerous too. You would need someone to protect you and your family, from the criminals and other desperate people wanting to force you do heal someone.

My superpower would be to the laundry with a twitch of the nose or wave of the hand. I do not mean just wash and dry, it would also be fold and put away. Five loads every 2 days just is not right. What I wouldn’t do to have that superpower.

Hi Vivi!
Oh what a cool question! You know, I always thought I’d ask for super power of hearing everything since I can’t hear at all, but I do love the silence too! I missed my proms, and love historicals, so I want to be able to time travel back to regency times and dance at a ball with a rake . I want to then go to Medieval and meet the MIK’s (Men In Kilts). So you get the idea

I would love to be able to read people’s mind. After reading a book about the heroine being able to read the hero’s mind and knowing all the naughty things he wanted to do to her I found it to be very interesting and hot. I think this would be awesome to read people’s mind.

the power to transport myself from one point to another with just a thought so I would never be late for anything again and would not have to worry about having a car or buying tickets to travel by plane, bus or train. It would also save me valuable time that I could use more efficiently.
