Interview With River and Flynn from Sophie McKenzie's Falling Fast

I am so excited to be taking part in the Falling Fast Blog Tour, I want to say a big thank you to Simon and Schuster publishers and Sophie McKenzie for making this blog tour happen!

I have already read and reviewed Falling Fast. It was my first Sophie McKenzie book and I really enjoyed it, you can check out my review to Falling Fast here.

For this stop on the blog tour I was lucky enough to have a special interview with River and Flynn, the two main characters in Falling Fast. To make things easier, River's responses are in red and Flynn's in green.

Hi River and Flynn, I’m super excited to have you stop by BelleBooks today!

River: Was it strange going to the boy’s school to audition for the play?

Yeah, it was weird to be there. The boys made it weird. I don’t know why – perhaps because it’s a male-only school, maybe they’re just not used to having the opposite sex around but they stared at us like they’d never seen girls before. That is, they were staring at Emmi. I’m not sure any of them really noticed me.

Flynn: What was it like to have girls come in to your school to play parts in Romeo and Juliet?

It was okay. Not that big a deal. I mean, think about it. What else were they going to do? And yes, I know in Shakespeare’s day boys often took girls parts but if Mr Nichols even dared suggest I might play Romeo with a boy as Juliet I’d punch him, I don’t care if he is a teacher. Some of the guys were really uncool about it. Like they’d never seen a girl before. I like being around girls, sure, but to be honest most of them aren’t worth the trouble of noticing them.

River: What did you think of Flynn when you first saw him?

I dunno, there was definitely something about him. Or maybe lots of contrasting things: Like I noticed his clothes were a bit worn out, but he also had an aloof manner like maybe he was a bit arrogant. And he behaved like he couldn’t really be bothered with the auditions, but then when he acted he just sounding AMAZING as Romeo. And the way he looked, not obviously good-looking but really comfortable in his skin and with these amazing greeny-gold eyes that were so intense when he looked at me I couldn’t look away.

Flynn: What did you think of River when you first saw her?

I thought she was fit. And a bit goofy. She kept losing her place when she was saying her lines, and at one point she said them really quiet then suddenly really loud. Weird. But a good actor. And, like I said, fit.

Flynn: What is your favourite thing about River?

I can’t pick one thing. I like everything about River, from the way she looks to the way she tries to help people to the way she makes me feel good about myself. 

River: What is your favourite thing about Flynn?

His kiss.

Flynn: What is your least favourite thing about River?

Sometimes she wants to talk about stuff that I don’t want to talk about.

River: What is your least favourite thing about Flynn?

His short temper. He gets really angry about things and often I don’t properly understand why. I don’t like it.

River: What are your hopes for the future with Flynn?

I really want to be with him forever, but he’s got to open up more and lose his temper less or I can see us not making it.

Flynn: What are your hopes for the future with River?

That’s private!

Deceived -Stephanie Nelson Blog Tour

Blurb:

The vampire drug, brew, nearly ruined Gwen Sparks’ life. 

Just when things started to get back to normal between her and Aiden, she is summoned by the North American Witches Council to their central city of Moon. 

A war is imminent between vampires and witches, and Gwen’s experiences with brew are being used to fuel the fire. 

She is about to discover just how powerful she is with the help of the ruggedly handsome Angel of Death and just how far some people will go to get what they want. Gwen is going to learn exactly what it means to be Deceived.

As Part of the blog tour I have an exciting character interview to share with you all, enjoy!

Hey, Fiona here. So I was surfing the web and came across what is known as a…blog? I guess they’re really popular amongst the humans. So, I decided to start my own blog. Man that word, blog, sounds like a noise you make after a night of drinking. Anyways, I’ve made Gwen and Dorian sit down with me and I’m going to fire off a round of questions.

Fiona, Gwen and Dorian are sitting in the living room Fiona glances over the top of her computer and winks at them.

Fiona: Ready?

Gwen releases an annoyed breath while Dorian crosses his arms across his hard chest and grins.

Fiona: Okay. First, why don’t you introduce yourself, Gwen.

Gwen crosses one leg over the over and glares at Fiona.

Gwen: You already know who I am, Fiona.

Fiona: The people on my blog don’t. Fiona snaps back.

Gwen: What the hell is a blog anyway?

Fiona: It’s an interactive website where — never mind. The point is, I have one and you said you’d let me interview you.

Gwen: Fine. My name is Gwen Sparks. I’m twenty-six years old and I’m a witch.

Dorian interrupts. And a spirit walker.

Gwen: Yeah and a spirit walker. She rolls her eyes at Dorian and then focuses on Fiona.

Fiona: And Dorian would you please introduce yourself?

Dorian rubs his jaw. Names Dorian Hade and I’m the Angel of Death, but I don’t wear a cloak or carry a scythe so let’s nip that myth in the bud right now.

Fiona stares down at her computer while her fingers go to work at typing. Got it. No robe…or scythe. Fiona looks up and smiles at Gwen and Dorian.

Fiona: Would either one of you like to tell my followers how you two met?

Gwen: You have followers?

Fiona glares at her best friend. I will.

Dorian: I met Gwen while in Moon. I am teaching her how to use her spirit walker

abilities.

Fiona: I wish I would’ve had teachers that looked like you.

Dorian laughs while Gwen shakes her head at her friend’s blunt statement.

Dorian: Some students don’t realize a good thing when they have it. Dorian looks over at Gwen and gives her a pointed look.

Gwen: The only asset I’m interested in is your teaching capabilities so I don’t get myself killed. I could care less about the pretty wrapping.

Dorian: So, you think I’m pretty then? Dorian bats his eyelashes and Fiona laughs.

Gwen: Very pretty. Gwen smiles coyly. You’d make some man very happy.

Dorian releases a heavy, frustrated breath and Gwen laughs.

Fiona: Okay, okay. Let’s get back on track.

Gwen and Dorian give her their attention.

Fiona: So, I’ve been noticing some major sexual tension between the two of you. Do you –

Gwen interjects. There isn’t any sexual tension, next question.

Dorian: Ah come on, there’s a little sexual tension.

Gwen: In order for that to happen, I’d have to like you. I don’t.

Okay fellow bloggers, Gwen and Dorian are in the middle of a staring contest and I thought I’d leave the room before clothes started flying. Until next time….
