Happy Birthday Love Finds A Way:)

I'm also featured over at AJ Best's blog; won't you stop by and say hi?  There's a never-before-posted scene in addition to an easy contest!

Hard to believe Matt and Amy's book is two years old:)

Blurb:

Can a blind date turn into a romance?  Amy Callahan wants to find out, so when she flies to California to spend a week with Matt Slagal, she discovers the ups and downs of a long distance relationship.  Which one prevails..."Absence makes the heart grow fonder"  or, "Out of sight, out of mind"?

I invited Jean Joachim to interview Matt and Amy.  Take it away:)

Are you upset your name is not in the title?

A:  No; the original title was ‘Love On The Rocks’, but it fit Elicia Keller’s story better, so I was happy you changed it.

M:  At least you didn’t call it ‘Matt Can’t Make Up His Mind’.  Geez….was I really that wishy-washy thirty years ago?

A:  Yes, you were.  I had to get you to quit drinking and see which woman was better for you.

M (rolls eyes but stays quiet)

Is your love interest the way you pictured him?  Or would you have preferred someone with a different hair color.

A:  The guy on the cover absolutely has Matt’s cocky attitude down!  He’s a bit more buff than my handsome guy-

M:  Your hair is blonde, not that reddish-brown stuff.  The female is all wrong for you, except for the eyes.  And if you had her lips….(whistles) Oh baby what those lips do for me-

A:  Shut up, Matthew.

Do you have any annoying habits your author did not share with us in your book?

M:  I’ll say!  She left out a LOT of Amy’s annoying habits.  She snores, hogs the covers, bites her fingernails, and sneezes or coughs.

A:  Excuse me?  You told me I talk in my sleep.  Plus, you knew about my allergies.  I only bite my nails when I’m nervous.  The only thing Molly left out was your addiction to airplane toys.

M:  Those are going to be worth a fortune someday.  Now your books, on the other hand-

Jean:  Can we keep going you two?

A:  Sorry.  Please continue.

Do you have siblings? Are you close to them?

A:  I’m an only child.

M:  Two brothers, two sisters.  I’m the baby of the family.

Any hobbies we might be interested in knowing about?

A:  Reading and cross-stitch.

M:  Model airplanes.

 Are you happy with the profession your author chose for you or would you rather be working at something totally different and why?

A:  Nope, she hit it dead on.

M:  Once upon a time, I thought I might go into dentistry, but my love of airplanes won.

 Are you planning to make an appearance in a sequel? If not are you unhappy about that?

A:  I believe I’m in almost all of them, up until book #8.

M:  I cannot believe what she did to me in books #4-6.  Unbelievable!  Is this her idea of revenge?

Interviewer:  It’s called ‘creative license’. 

M:  Creative license, my ass.  She's just bummed because she chose the wrong man-

Jean:  May I remind you that you are a FICTIONAL CHARACTER?

M:  Good God, you don’t have to get hyper about it.

Now for a personal question. Is there enough  sex in the book for you? Would you have liked more?

A:  I’m perfectly happy with the amount of sex in it.

M:  I’m not, but then again, I’m not into having people watch me loving my woman.  There’s a thing called PRIVACY, you know.

Is you’re hero/heroine a good kisser?

A (looks at Matt, then Interviewer, then down at her lap):  Yes, he is.

M:  Great, you don’t like the way I kiss?  You’re fantastic.

A:  Thank you sweetie.  When you’re sober, I love the way you kiss.  But when you’re drunk, well, sticking out your tongue isn’t exactly what kissing is all about.

M:  Wait till we get back to the room.  I’ll stick my tongue up your-

A:  MATTHEW! 

How many re-writes did you have to live through?

A:  Too many to count.

M:  Yeah, she’d write, then cut chapters, rewrite entire scenes…I don’t even recognize myself at times.

A:  Trust me, it’s an improvement.

Did your story end too soon?

Both:  No, it’s still continuing to unfold.

Did you get enough time in the story or do you feel shortchanged?

M:  I don’t think I have much of a voice in it.  If you want to know the truth about what went on between me and Jeri-

A:  No, we don’t.

Who was your favorite supporting character?

A:  I love Geoff’s sense of humor; Kelly for her friendship while I was in California, and of course, my BFF Caitlyn.

M:  Caty is smokin’ hot!  But she was taken when I met her.

A (rolls her eyes)

Do you want your story to become a series with you as a recurring character?

Both:  If it wasn’t for our story, there never would have been a series.

M:  I still say she owes me royalty money.

Thank you both for being here today, and have a wonderful birthday/anniversary.
