Can you please tell us about your
latest/upcoming book(s)?
Hi! Thank you so much for having
me on your blog. I want to talk about my new release with Breathless Press, Not Mistaken Identity. It’s about a
kidnapping that happened to an actor and the sadistic kidnappers want him to do
things that the actor’s character had to suffer in the TV show.
How did you come with the idea for
this story?
I adore this actor so much that I
keep wanting to see him in all kinds of stories and scenes. I think I’m the one
being sadistic here for the things I do to my idols.
Who is your ultimate "book
boy/girlfriend"? You know, that hottie you read about and drool over.
Honestly, I don’t really have a lot of book boyfriends
or girlfriends. If I really enjoy a book, that’s usually because of the story,
characters, and everything in it. It’s quite hard for me to mention a name.
Let’s say, hmm, I think I completely love Frodo Baggins from The Lord of the
Rings. He is the only character I can think of right now.
Who is your Celebrity crush? And
what would you do if you ever meet them?
Only one? I have countless
celebrity crushes. :D I love Richard Armitage, Aidan Turner, Van Hansis, Eoin
Macken, Sam Heughan, Jensen Ackles, etc., etc. As to what I’d do if I ever met
them? That’s actually quite TMI ! :D
If you could collaborate with
another author on a secret project, who would you pick to work with and why?
The problem here is whether he/she
would be willing to such a lowly writer like me… Anyway! :) I adore and admire
Susan Mac Nicol. It would be such a great honour if she wanted to collaborate
with me.
Abducted and forced to channel all his TV
character’s smarts, can actor Chase Riley escapes his captors and return to his
boyfriend?
Actor Chase Riley is road tripping
his way home when he is abducted. A delusional fan is convinced that Chase is
really Elliot, the character he plays in a popular cop series. In order to
survive, Chase must channel all his TV character's smarts, while trying to
convince his abductor that he really is just a very good actor.
Chase's boyfriend,
co-star Aidan Buffett, is on a trip with his sister when he gets news of
Chase's disappearance. Trapped in an airport in Mexico
When Chase makes a
desperate attempt to escape, the consequences are serious. And though Aidan
will get to see his Chase again, it is with no guarantee that his boyfriend
will survive to tell the tale.
Teaser:
This wasn't the first time Chase had stopped at
this place. The food wasn't bad and, besides, he was famished. He hadn't eaten
anything since dinner last night and had only coffee this morning.
"I'll take today's special and the
grilled chicken and garlic."
"Right
away, sir."
There weren't many customers. Chase swept a
glance around the room from his bar stool. The quieter, the better. He really didn't
want anyone to recognize him.
"You
look familiar."
Great.
So much for not being recognized.
Chase turned slowly sideways. A man, fiftyish, had
taken the stool right next to him. Chase automatically pulled back.
"You got
the wrong man."
"I don't
think so." The man grinned
widely. "Riley, right?
Chase Riley, the actor? I'm Bob Nelson."
He seized Chase's hand and shook it hard.
Chase offered a half-hearted smile. Who is this man? A journalist?
"My son
is a big fan of your show."
Ah. Chase smiled.
"He
worships Elliot Smith. He thinks he’s a real hero."
Elliot
Smith was the character he played on a TV show.
"Yeah, I
think so too," Chase said
carefully.
"He tries
to do whatever Elliot does, but it frustrates him sometimes when he can't. He
wants Elliot to be there with him, to show him the ropes."
Chase paused. This didn't sound right. When his
food came, Chase could only look at it, his appetite slipping away.
"Uh, you
mind if I ask this to be wrapped?"
he asked, somewhat hesitant, but the waiter was a truly nice man.
"Definitely
not a problem."
Chase nodded, and he grimaced toward the old
man. "That's awesome that your
son enjoys our series. We really appreciate your support." Chase didn't want to think
that it might look embarrassing that he then dashed to the cashier. He wasn't
afraid of the man. No, he wasn't.
Chase was relieved that his order was ready to
go by the time he'd finished paying. He hurried across the parking lot toward
his car and tossed the food onto the passenger seat. Only when he sank into his
seat behind the wheel did Chase take a deep breath of relief. He closed his
eyes.
Chase,
you're pathetic, he scolded himself. No wonder Aidan keeps worrying about you.
Chase glanced in the rear-view mirror as he put
on his sunglasses, tensing when suddenly he saw a movement behind him. Before
he had a chance to look again, something sharp thrust into his side through
layers of his shirt and jacket.
"Not a
word, no sudden movement. I don't want to harm you but—"
"You
have a knife!" Chase said.
"No
talking!"
The man shoved the knife deeper and Chase
breathed hard as he felt it pierce his skin. His ears were ringing as he tried
to make sense of what was happening.
"Drive," urged the man.
Chase tried to catch a glimpse of him in the
mirror, but the guy was crouching low behind his seat.
"No—"
"Go!"
