Okay, I'm participating in this hop, and honestly I have no clue what I'm doing. So I hope you will all forgive me... In saying that here is what's happening Michael Marsden decided it would be best if I interviewed him...Seeing as he is the king and all. So I thought I would just do it to appease him. I borrowed these questions from someone else's blog when I promo'd over there. I hope you enjoy.
Interview with Michael Marsden
(The Lines of Marsden)
What do you hope
reader's take away from this retelling of your story?
I hope people will come to learn that even
though we are all different races and species. Underneath we are basically all
the same. We all have our own insecurities that we have to deal with.
What is one thing your
storyteller got right?
My author got right just how beautiful and
special my Sweetness is. I think people all over the world could benefit from
having their own Sweetness in their lives.
What is one thing your
storyteller misrepresented?
Actually, she got wrong just how brave I am…
I can tell you now—I’m just not that cool calm and collected.
If you could have
changed one of your actions—just one—what would it be, and why?
I think we are the way we are for a reason…
but if I could take back one thing it would be opening my damn mouth and
proclaiming myself as king of the vampire legions—what the hell was I thinking?
Who would you want to
play you in a movie-retelling of your story? Who would play your love interest?
Benj… only joking. Don’t tell him I said
that. Gypsy and Babe would tell you Jonathan Rhys Meyers. Apparently we have
the same lips—go figure.
What is a quote you
live by?
Fool me once—shame on you. Fool me
twice—shame on me. Fool me a third time—I’ll hunt you down and exact revenge.
Excluding your own,
what is your favorite book?
Mainstream:
anything by David Eddings.
LGBTQ:
anything by Charlie Richards.
What would you have
named your story?
What The Fuck… I find myself saying that more
and more these days.
What event in your life
would make a wonderful short-story addition to your story?
Probably all the crap I got up to between
Babe being taken into his mind by Sebastian and Blake showing me how to get him
back… It wasn’t a good time for me, and it won’t show me in a good light, but
it would be interesting none the less. It would also show why I do some of the
things I do.
Was there anything your
storyteller left out that you’d like your fans to know?
Actually she pretty much got us spot on.
Sweetness said we needed to be open and honest, or as Gypsy said we just had to
let it all hang out for the world to see.
Were you reluctant to
have your story told?
Honestly, I didn’t think I was that
interesting. Hell, in my human years I had to have my sister be my bodyguard.
Nowadays I’m quite willing to defend myself and everyone else I consider
family.
If you could change one
thing about yourself what would it be?
I wish I could be stronger… instead of always
second guessing myself.
Did your storyteller
take any artistic liberties? If so, please set the story straight.
Yeah there is something that needs to be set
straight, NJ didn’t make Gypsy anywhere as bossy as she is in real life—don’t
tell Gyps I said that or she’ll kick my arse—again.
In what setting would
you have preferred your story to have taken place?
Maybe on another planet, because seriously,
this kind of shit doesn’t really happen on Earth, right?
Your storyteller told
some pretty embarrassing tales about you. Is there any secrets you’d like to
share about them?
No, because NJ still hasn’t finished writing
my story… come back and ask me that question again after book 6 is written and
released.
Your story is being
made into a musical. What's the name of your song?
The River
by Good Charlotte.
Pick a scene in your
story. What song is playing in the background?
The scene where I see Doyle again for the
first time in book 3: You Make Me Die In Pieces. So right now it
would be a Nickelback song—Never Going To Be Alone… this is what I was
feeling when Sweetness couldn’t remember me and we always ended up fighting.
What is your favorite
chapter of your story?
I don’t have one… an event I’ most grateful
for is when Maffa bit Gypsy and converted her into a werewolf… It was when I
realized she would be able to stay with me forever… Mind you, Babe was willing
to convert her into a vampire if necessary.
If price was no
consequence, what gift would you buy your love interest?
I would buy Sweetness the world.
What first attracted
you to your love interest?
I don’t know… at first I didn’t see it all. I
think it mainly snuck up like a gradual thing… then Gypsy told me to open up my
eyes and see what was before me—that just happened to be Sweetness. Sometimes
Gypsy’s bossiness is a good thing.
What surprises you most
about your love interest?
I think Sweetness is the strongest person I
know. Nothing ever phases him.
At what moment did you
know you were in love?
As everyone will tell you—I’m pretty clueless
about things like that. Like I said earlier—I had to be told.
If you could watch your
love interest's childhood as a film, would you?
Yes, I would want to know everything about
him in every incarnation of his life—as we found out recently we have lived and
died through a few.
What is one moment in
your love interest's life—before you met—you wish you could have experienced?
That’s a hard one… I don’t know really. Maybe
I would like to see if he was as cute as a child as he was as a man. Maybe how
he interacted with his family. Like I said I would like to know everything.
Put three items in a
time capsule you will open in 25 years. What are your items?
1. A pictures of my whole family—both past and
present.
2. Christian’s Grandfather’s ring. Maybe then it
would keep Babe’s power out of the hands of others.
3. A list of all our names and job descriptions for
all future generations. Just in case that stupid bitch, Venetia gets a lucky
shot in, and we have to start our life cycles all over again.
