Hi Everyone!
I'm handing my blog over to the lovely, Alexia Adams today. Alexia is sitting down with her hero from her new release, Thailand with the Tycoon, Caleb Doyle. I can't wait to read Thailand with the Tycoon and meet Malee ... and Steve. Enjoy!
Alexia Adams...
Hi, I’m Alexia, author of Thailand with the Tycoon.
I got to know Caleb Doyle, the hero of that story pretty well when writing the
book. Caleb’s an adrenaline junkie, an easy-going guy, a good friend, but
distant from his family. He’s wealthy but hasn’t let that go to his head. All
round he’s someone you’d like to have a few beers (or whiskeys) with but
wouldn’t really expect to settle down and commit to a long-term relationship.
Or so we thought… Let’s see if we can learn any secrets today.
Alexia: Thanks for agreeing to chat with us,
Caleb. Are you ready for some difficult questions?
Caleb: Absolutely. Should I have brought my
climbing ropes?
Alexia: Probably, but it’s too late now. First
question: You’re a new addition to a crayon box. What color would you be and
why?
Caleb: I’d be a yellowy-orange, something bright
and electric, full of energy. Plus, nothing rhymes with orange and I like to be
individual. I’d call myself yellnge. Which would also be unique because no one would
know exactly how to pronounce it.
Alexia: It worries me that you didn’t take any
time at all to answer that question. Clearly, it’s something you’ve thought
about before, although I have no idea why.
Caleb: Before I met Malee, I used to spend a lot
of time dangling from the side of a mountain. Really frees up the mind to
explore out of the box, or in this case, inside the box, questions.
Alexia: All right. Have you thought about this
one: How many Taylor Swift songs do you know the lyrics to?
Caleb: Just one, Blank Space. I believe she
wrote that about me.
Alexia: I can see how you would think that. Okay,
now that we’ve broken the ice, on to the real questions. What’s your favorite
90s jam?
Caleb: Blueberry.
Alexia: *sigh* Always the funny guy. Okay, next
question: If someone gave you an elephant and you couldn’t sell or give it
away, what would you do with it?
Caleb: Wait. You’re responsible for the elephant,
aren’t you?
Alexia: *shifts in her seat, looks away* I don’t
know what you’re talking about.
Caleb: The elephant that adopted Malee and me.
Did you set that up?
Alexia: Perhaps you could be more specific. I’m
an author, there are a lot of elephants in my brain.
Caleb: You know the one. Malee called him Steve.
He’s big, and gray. An Asian elephant if that makes a difference. We came back
from exploring the area when we were stranded and he was waiting for us at
Destiny Resort. If that was your doing…well…thanks for nothing.
Alexia: You have a problem with Steve?
Caleb: He’s annoying. And has terrible timing.
Alexia: (Having perfected her innocent look from
her four children who would never admit to drawing on the wall with crayon) How
so?
Alexia: I can see how that would frustrate you. What
did you do about the situation?
Caleb: What could I do? He’s a giant elephant. And
you put him there.
Alexia: This interview seems to have got off
track. Back to my prepared questions.
Caleb: No, I think we’re done. I have an
elephant to feed. And clean up after. Do you know how much poop comes out of an
elephant? You couldn’t just have put a cat in the story, could you. It had to
be an elephant. *storms out of interview*
Alexia: *shrugs* What can I say? The book is set
in Thailand. They have elephants. Everyone loves elephants. Except, it seems
Caleb. Although he did pay someone to feed Steve and has hired a caretaker for
when he and Malee aren’t in Thailand. So, I guess what we learned today is that
deep down, Caleb loves elephants.
Find out the whole story in Thailand with the Tycoon.
And a special thanks to Nancy for hosting us today and
giving Caleb a chance to air his grievances.
Snort! Poor Caleb, relegated to pooper-scooper for an elephant!
