My cyberTwin, Elizabeth Seckman, is in charge today...
Long ago, in a conglomeration of our own twisted minds...my eTwinny, Mr. Koopmans, invited me to his blog for a character interview to promote my new release- Fate Intended (which is an awesome read BTW, just ask my mom)
I told Mark that Tammy Theriault was my fabulous beta reader and would he mind if I asked her to make it a threesome.
OH THE INTERVIEW PERVS!!!!
Geesh. I'm shocked. And a little disgusted. A three way interview where Tammy plays the part of Trip and Frankie, two very hot covert agents from the book...my book...the one I'm pimping here today.
So, without further ado~
The role of covert agents, Frankie and Trip, will be played by Tammy Theriault
The role of Mark will be played by Koopmans, and some vagrant wearing a Speedo. Oh wait, seems that was Mark too.
The role of Elizabeth will be played by myself. I even did my own stunts, thank you much.

TRIP: Welcome to the Green Interrogation Room, Mr. Koopmans; Mrs. Seckman.
FRANKIE: We are here to conduct a very thorough investigation.
TRIP: Welcome to the Green Interrogation Room, Mr. Koopmans; Mrs. Seckman.
FRANKIE: We are here to conduct a very thorough investigation.
TRIP: How thorough are we doing this? Latex gloves thorough?
*Frankie nods*
TRIP: Are either of you allergic to Latex?
MARK: Latex never bothers me unless it’s an all-body outfit ‘cos then I may get a wedgie – but allergic, no.
ELIZABETH: Latex? Seriously? Well, since Mark isn’t allergic, I suggest you start with him. Hope you enjoy the view from under the bus cyber brother!
(5 MINS PASS WITH MARK’S GLOVE INSPECTION…15 MINS FOR ELIZABETH’S DONE BY TRIP)
TRIP: You two seem very…clean. Maybe a little too clean. That worries me.
MARK: I blame my obsession with cleanliness on my cyber twin, Liz. She was always a neat-nut when we were growing up in West Cyberville. Also, I must tell you, I was happy when you brought out the gloves. She likes that.
ELIZABETH: Um, Mark either you're confused or you're an imposter! Anyone else notice his uncanny resemblance to Mr. Clean? Just sayin’.
FRANKIE: I want you two to sit down, and shut up! Let’s get this interview over! Trip, tell them why they’re here.
MARK: My, my eTwinny, I see your taste in men-friends is like my hairline—it hasn’t gotten better with age.
ELIZABETH: Hey, I just wrote them. I can’t be blamed for that, can I?
TRIP: *Pulls out paper from back pocket* In my hand, I have incriminating evidence that you, Mr. Koopmans, were smuggled to the U.S. by the very vivacious Mrs. Seckman. The evidence is *opens paper* butter, sugar, flour, and jelly. Oh, that’s from my wife.
MARK: Hey, I watched a commercial for Court TV once. If the oven glove doesn’t fit, you must acquit, right?
ELIZABETH: Totally right, cyber brother.
FRANKIE: Shut it! So Trip…is Jane making you cookies again?
TRIP: Yep. Still on my honeymoon.
FRANKIE: Nice! *shakes head* Back to the questions! What kind of cookies, if you really are American, can you make with butter, sugar, and flour, Mr. Koopmans?
MARK: Ouch, and I’m the crook, er, cook on my side of the family. This hurts. Well, I have no idea and seeing as I left my computery stuff at home, I can’t look it up on WikiPIEdia.
TRIP: So…Elizabeth, if you were wearing an apron, a small apron fitting your frame just right…would I need to bring over the *looks at paper* jelly?
ELIZABETH: After four kids, I'd suggest you bring a blind fold.
FRANKIE: *smacks Trip’s arm* Dang it! Wrong paper. Again! Look lady, we know you smuggled him in! How did you do it?
MARK: Latex never bothers me unless it’s an all-body outfit ‘cos then I may get a wedgie – but allergic, no.
ELIZABETH: Latex? Seriously? Well, since Mark isn’t allergic, I suggest you start with him. Hope you enjoy the view from under the bus cyber brother!

ELIZABETH: That’s ridiculous. He’s too tall to fit in my biggest purse. I’ll admit to smuggling candy bars into theaters, but that’s it!
TRIP: Fine. Frank, I can give him the immigrant challenge.
*Frankie nods*
TRIP: I have three questions for you, Mr. Koopmans. What color is a green card, what color is this green room, and what color is a green shamrock from the green hills of Ireland where a green, white, and orange flag waves?
MARK: My green card was grey. By the way, Trip, it sounds like you’re a wee bit jealous, dare I say, green with jealousy over things that happen in the Emerald Isle. Has Frankie messed with your Lucky Charms lately?
TRIP: *turns to Frankie* I got nothing.
*TRIP & FRANKIE’S PAGERS GO OFF*
TRIP: Crap.
FRANKIE: It’s another one. *runs hand through hair* Okay, last question if you ever want to see your family or friends again. Are Lucky Charms REALLY magically delicious, or do you Irish folk have us fooled?
MARK: Consider this…the elixir of cereal otherwise known as Lucky Charms is not available for sale in Ireland, so who’s fooling who? Hmm?
ELIZABETH: *Turns and grabs Mark* I didn’t write these guys to be this sloppy!! Or so Lucky Charms ignorant. They’re imposters! Run!!!
FRANKIE & TRIP: *bangs on door* TURN LOOSE, CUJO! TURN ‘EM LOOSE!

LOL! I loved the hilarious interrogation. Frankie was a star again. I liked the idea of Elizabeth Seckman smuggling Mark Koopmans into the US! But, would you really allow the use of latex gloves? This is a cool dude!
All the very best of wishes for a successful blog tour with 'Fate Intended' Elizabeth.
Hilarious and just a little chaotic! I'd love to be in the same room as the three of you!
Run!!
Hilarious, guys.
And Mark does look like Mr. Clean.
I loved the witty humor here :)
Too, too funny! Between this and Father Dragon's production today, my abs are certainly getting a workout.
Hi-larious!
Excellent interview, guys! Great way to start my day. The action at the dragon cave really had me going, too. Well done Lord Baldernot ... er ... Sir Mark! :)
You know an interview on Mar's blog has to be hilarious. This was fun, thanks guys.
haha that went everywhere, and the mr. clean crack was great.
Bwa-ha-ha! I'm hope Cujo is their pet hamster and not a ravenous K9. =) That was awesome.
You lost me at 'latex'.
hahaha You guys are a hoot. :P
Best wishes, Elizabeth. :)
@Fanny- I was a little shocked Mark agreed to that also. I think his Oirish brain was running a bit slowly.
@Annalisa- All of us with you? That would be totally awesome. I say we meet at Mark's!
@ Alex- Mark puts up with a lot from Tammy and me. He's a good sport!
@O.E. I blame all the funny stuff on Mark and Tammy
@MJ- I plan to count it for my cardio too ;)
@Sheena-kay- you know us too well
@Crystal- My next hamster will so be named Cujo. Love that!
@Melissa- they lost me at latex too. I don't know what Mark was thinking!
Hilarious!! Those color questions can be downright tricky. :)
Such fun!
Hi, Mark.... Tammy... mu running shorts are frozen stiff! WAY TO COLD in Chicago!
Elizabeth... ALL The best with you newest novel!
@Pat- I'm surprised we stayed on track as well as we did!
@Nicole- I'm just glad the color questions were for Mark
@Michael- time to break out the thermal underwear for under your shorts! And thanks, I hope it does well too.
You guys are hilarious!
For some reason I really feel like making jam thumbprint cookies now...
SO much fun...I'm not sure interviewing my characters would be nearly as much fun, since they're either 6 years old or 13, depending on the book!
Too clean? Is there such a thing? I don't think so. Fun interview. :D
Too funny!!
Never a dull moment with you three! He! He!
@Deniz, if you're making cookies...send a few my way, okay?
@Stephanie, I don't know, kid interviews can be pretty funny!
@Medeia, nothing is ever too clean at my house...and sadly I mean that literally.
@Michelle, nope, never dull!
