Hey everyone! How’s everyone doing today? Happy Sunday and welcome to another special blog post!
As you all remember, last week we had Nick Ambrose, author and star of the ‘Tales of Nick’ series take over the helm. I’ll say he put out a fine post, but it got me to thinking. I’ve decided that Daniel Allen, star of the ‘Another Time’ series should get equal and deserved exposure. Thus, I decided to invite them both for a sit down, candid interview. Things were light, informational and fun. What follows is the interview!
STEVE: Welcome, Nick Ambrose and Daniel Allen! I appreciate you taking the time out of your day to sit with me!
NICK: It’s my pleasure, Steve. And thanks again for letting me pen the post last week, too!
DANIEL: Well, I didn’t have much going on this week. The firm I work for is moving the main office to another building, so I’ve been working from home. I kind of make my own hours this week.
STEVE: Daniel, how is life in the Allen family these days?
DANIEL: Life is good, life is good, thanks. (to Nick) Like he doesn’t know. He writes my life. (Nick rolls his eyes).
STEVE: I’m right here, you know. I heard all of that.
DANIEL: Anyway, yeah. I wake up every morning and can’t wait to find out what my day holds!
NICK: That’s the same with me, Danny!
DANIEL: Please don’t call me that. I hate that name with a passion. In fact, there’s only one person who’s gotten away with calling me that name.
NICK: Your beloved Jules, I remember. Sorry, Dude. No disrespect. How is she anyway?
DANIEL: Ask Steve. He probably knows better than I do.
STEVE: Okay, guys. I think as the moderator, it’s me who is asking the questions.
DANIEL: And ordinarily, I’d agree with you.
NICK: Yeah. I’m with Daniel.
STEVE: What do you guys mean by that?
NICK: Well, the premise of this sit-down chat, as you call it, is solid in foundation. But it’s also flawed at the core.
DANIEL: You put together such a complex sentence, Nick.
NICK: Thanks, I appreciate that. I’m an author. I’ve had years of experience manipulating words and such to create such diatribe. Anyway, Steve, essentially, you are writing an interview using two fictional characters you yourself created. So technically it doesn’t much matter what questions you ask. Because you already know the answers to each one.
DANIEL: Interesting, Nick. So, my immediate reaction to his first question he asked me was just his words, not mine. This is all Steve’s dialogue.
NICK: Exactly.
DANIEL: All righty, then. I hereby call bullshit on this interview (gets up). I’m out of here. I have things I need to do at home. I think. Hell, I don’t even know which wife I’ll find when I GET home!
NICK: (laughs) And I have no idea if I’m even alive at this point (gets up). I’ll head out with you, if you don’t mind. I need a drink. Want to go hit a tavern on the way home?
DANIEL: Aren’t you sober these days?
NICK: Hell, who knows? Are we good?
DANIEL: Good as gold (they leave).
STEVE: Uh . . . Guys? Guys?? Come back!! I promise you I won't kill anyone in your next books!! You want money? Fame? Hotter wives?? . . . . . . . . . . Oh, what the Hell. You're both in deep shit in your next installments now!!! THAT I promise (deep evil laugh)!!!!
Well, there you have it, my awesome friends out there. My attempt at an interview has gone completely awry and all I can do is apologize to you. Maybe I’ll be able to try this again at another time.
I’ll be posting my blog next Sunday at a little later hour, as during the day I’ll be at the book signing in Richland, WA at the bookstore Adventures Underground! I’ll do my best to get photos and maybe even a video of the event! Wish me luck! I’ll also be attending my niece’s high school graduation that weekend. It’ll be busy, but exciting and fun!
Hope you all have a wonderful week!
Cheers,
Steve!
