The Loss Of A Legend & My Hero

All Cock & No Bull Blog Hop

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.

Day 4

The new year has started off with a big bang for me... Okay, not really, but I am as busy as ever... Is it bad that I can't wait for my kids to start school again... sadly I still have three weeks to wait.

It's all overcast here today. So it's going to be a good day for writing so once I finish here you know what I'm going to be doing for the rest of the day.

I can tell you I have a sore leg today... last night when I was picking my son up from work I slammed the car door and the corner of the door scraped down my leg (what can I say--I'm a klutz)

On that note I will away as I have a crap-load of stuff to get through before I can call it a day. I will check in with you all tomorrow and let you know what's happening... PS Writing didn't get done as I got sidetracked by the taxes.

Test Match Rambling

I am set for the next 5 days, unless of course the game finishes early... it doesn't matter that the Aussies have already won the test series... it should still be a good game. Luckily, I can type and watch TV at the same time. Every one has their must sees, and cricket is mine... what do you all love watching?

Also the Big Bash League 5 has been fricken awesome this year. Mind you, right now my team is on the bottom of the ladder.

COME ON, BRISBANE HEAT

We still have time to climb up and give the other teams a run for their money... my second favourite team is in the middle at the moment.

COME ON, SYDNEY SIXERS

I figure I don't drink, don't smoke, and I don't do drugs... so I'm allowed to watch my cricket... until the AFL (Australian Football League/Aussie Rules) season starts.

Resolutions

This year I only have 5

1. write at least 4K a day to meet the Penny Brandon Challenge of 2016 (from now on it will be called the PBC).

2. Finish streamlining my house & sheds... if we haven't used it in over a year it has to go... I am over keeping dust collectors and cupboard clutter.

3. Use the whiteboard to keep on top of appointments... I have a tendency to get caught up in writing and forget things.

4. Stick to budget as money is going to be tight (very tight...so no travelling anywhere for me)

5. Treat everyone with respect...even when they can't give me the same... I really need to let go of my anger at stupid people.

BLURB

All his life, Jacen's had a crush on his brother's best friend. One night, they share a kiss, but Kayne isn't his to love. Now, Jacen's been beaten up, and he flees back to Queensland. Kayne's no longer with his wife and is raising his son. Will lifelong love win out?

Jacen Ives was living a lie. Being in a relationship with a person he couldn't fully love was only a small part of the problems in his life. The truth was, he was hiding away from the one man he always knew he was meant to love. Jacen left his home in Queensland to get away from Kayne Henderson and the family he was making for himself. Distance didn't help because his heart could never forget.

Mistakes made as a teenager set Kayne's future in place, so--with one last kiss goodbye--he lied, and let his heart walk away from him--his best friend's younger brother. They say time heals all wounds; what a crock. Sometimes, all time does is just confuse the matter. Especially when Kayne has a soon-to-be ex-wife and a young son to raise.

Years later, after letting Jacen walk away, he finds Jacen has finally come home. Everything is not good; Jacen has been both physically and mentally abused by his ex-boyfriend. Kayne needs to help find out just who is trying to destroy Jacen's life. Who's to blame--the man responsible for beating Jacen up or Kayne's very own ex, who has hated Jacen since they were all teenagers and she found out Jacen held Kayne's heart? Or is there someone new on the playing field? If so, which one of them are they truly after?
