Wacky author interview blitz!
(Treat it like a
speed question quiz, it hurts less that way – preferably 5 words for answers,
but some questions are so much more demanding…)
What’s
your perfect car?
One that comes
equipped with a Coke Zero machine and a great sound system!
It’s your
birthday and your family always does the gift card thing. What gift cards are
you hoping for?
Amazon, Target, or
the Bruins pro-shop :D
Name a
song that plays on a continuous loop in your head whenever you hear it.
“As Long is There
Whiskey” by Murder by Death – it’s my ringtone :D
Where is
Waldo?
I think the real
question here is, where isn’t he?
New
release and book tour—time to celebrate! What’s on your celebratory to-do list?
Probably Tweet
excitedly and drink some bourbon? Like when I’m watching hockey, haha!
You’re a hungry
predator shifter roaming the streets of Hollywood, which celeb would you want
to eat?
The one who tasted
most like candy :D
If you
could have one author stop by your house and read to you, who would it be?
Shirley Jackson,
though I realize that may be difficult as she’s been dead for a while. So maybe
not her.
Why is
the word "abbreviation" so long?
Irony?
Late
night munchies?
Triscuits and cream
cheese, which I will eat at literally any point in time.
Name a
book that demands a sequel.
It’s already a book
series, but I love Nora Sakavic’s “All for the Game” series. I love it like
breathing!
Blurb:
A freak accident during the Stanley Cup
Playoffs put an end to Max Ashford’s hockey career. Despite everything, Max
gets back into the game he loves—only this time, behind the bench as an
assistant coach of the Spartanburg Spitfires, the worst team in the entire
league. But nothing prepares him for the shock when he learns the new head
coach is Misha Samarin, the man who caused Max’s accident.
After spending guilt-ridden years for his
part in Max’s accident, Russian native Misha Samarin has no idea what to do
when he’s confronted with Max’s presence. Max’s optimism plays havoc with
Misha’s equilibrium—as does the fierce attraction that springs up between them.
Not only must they navigate Misha’s remorse
and a past he’s spent a lifetime to forget, but also a sleazy GM determined to
use their history as a marketing hook. But when an unwelcome visitor targets
the team, Misha revisits his darkest days, which might cost him and Max the
beginning they’ve worked so hard to build.

“I’d never watched this, you know.”
“The YouTube video?” Misha had seen that
too. It was filed with angry commenters yelling that he should be deported back
to Russia.
“The hit.”
Misha blinked. “You’ve seen the commercial,
though. Yes?”
“Yeah, I wish I could say I haven’t seen
that. But I meant, I didn’t watch this until a few months ago. They played that
game on the NHL channel, so I watched it.”
It never occurred to Misha that Max wouldn’t
have seen it, but then he remembered that Max was the hero, not the villain of
the story. Misha watched the hit play out on the screen. What must that feel
like, to watch the moment it all ended? When Max hit the ice, did he know that
game was his last? Did Misha know it was his? How had he felt? He couldn’t
remember.
The scene switched to the replay. Misha
watched dispassionately, retreated into the blinding pain of his migraine, and
told himself that it was all right to suffer, that he should, that he deserved
it.
Max paused the video. “Look. See what I have
there?”
Misha blinked. He had not expected
questions. “I—what?”
“The puck, Misha. The puck. Your hit wasn’t
late.”
Oh. “Yes. I know.”
Max stared at him. On the television screen,
their younger selves were suspended at the moment everything changed.

It’s all about the author…
Avon Gale was once the mayor on Foursquare
of Jazzercise and Lollicup, which should tell you all you need to know about
her as a person. She likes road trips, rock concerts, drinking Kentucky bourbon
and yelling at hockey. She’s a displaced southerner living in a liberal
midwestern college town, and when she’s not writing you can find her at the
salon, making her clients look and feel fabulous. She never gets tired of
people and their stories -- either real or the ones she makes up in her head.
…and stalking them :)
