Last couple of days for my Crescent Creek Collection Pre-release Deal!
Just for fun, and to give you the chance to meet the Heroes of the three stories in the collection, I have had a game of This or That with them. I hope you’ll like them, and give their story a chance.
Getting together the Heroes of your series is not that difficult when they are friends so here we are, nice and cozy in my living room during a two-day cold front in Crescent Creek, Florida. Of course, I asked Scott to bring food. Aidan would be okay with anything, but I wouldn’t cook for the Beckett brothers if my life depended on it. So, the Becketts brought food, Aidan tea, and I contribute with the house. Fair.
“Thank you for being here guys,” I start. “Just for the records, with me are Scott Beckett from All Those Miles I Walked, Rhett Beckett from Painted Love, and Aidan Murphy from His Midnight Sun. Guys, you are here to play games.”
Reaction to this plan: Scott raises an eyebrow, Rhett gets more comfortable on the couch, and Aidan groans.
I ignore all of them.
“We’ll keep it classic and quick,” I explain. “The game is This or That. I say two things, and you’ll have to chose one. Clear?”
They nod, but none is overly happy about it. As if I expected any different.Also, for the sake of a fast reading experience, and keeping my sanity, I’ll write this as a report. Or I’ll try to.
Dog or Cat?
Rhett and Scott: Dogs
Aidan: neither. Cats are selfish bastards and dogs are needy. I don’t need either.
Rhett: You just got a German Shepard, man.
Aidan: He’s for Kiki. The girl needs a dog. What are you, a monster to deny a child her dog? Jesus.
Scott and Rhett chuckle. Aidan loves that puppy, I personally saw him soft-wrestling with it the other day.
Netflix or YouTube?
Scott: Netflix. I can watch what I want when I’m off. It’s brilliant.
Aidan: are you ever off?
Scott shrugs.
Toast or Eggs?
Rhett: toast and eggs. With butter.
Cardio or Weights?
Rhett: Pass. Damn, I’ll be old and fat.
Scott: weights.
Aidan: cardio.
Scott, looking at Aidan: really?
Aidan: Summer pushed me into try it for, you know, stress release and stuff. Kinda works.
Facebook or Twitter?
All three: nope.
Me: You all have FB account for (I point to Scott) the restaurant, (point to Rhett) the market, (point to Aidan) and the Gallery.
Rhett: Then I’d say the restaurant, the market, and the gallery have social media things. We don’t, and surely we don’t run them.
Me: Not even you, Rhett?
Rhett: no, I enjoy the good ole’ face-to-face interaction with people.
Form or Function?
Aidan: form.
Scott: function.
Rhett: Virtue stands in the middle, so a bit of both.
Swimming or Sunbathing.
Rhett: swimming. Uh, that’s how I’m not gonna be old and fat.
Scott: sunbathing with a margarita in my hand and DJ in a very small bikini when the kids are with the grandparents.
Aidan: I can’t sunbath. Irish skin. I need a gallon of sun-cream when I go out with the boat.
Big Party or Small Gathering?
Scott: depends. If they are paying clients, then the bigger the better.
Aidan: no people.
Rhett: small gatherings.
Work Hard or Play Hard?
Scott: work hard to play hard. The others nod in agreement.
Bath or Shower?
Rhett: is Florence in there too? Because then I don’t care, I’ll take it.
Aidan: solid point, mate.
Scott nods.
Amusement Park or Day at the Beach?
All: beach.
Coffee or Tea?
Aidan: Tea. Irish Breakfast. Yes, it’s different.
Scott and Rhett: coffee.
TV or Book?
Scott: TV
Rhett: Either, it depends on what’s on.
Aidan: books.
Winter or Summer?
All: Florida winter, all the way.
Camping or Binge-Watching Shows at Home?
Aidan and Rhett: Camping.
Scott: home. I like to be comfortable.
Working Alone or Working in a Team?
Rhett: I’m afraid none of us is really good at working as part of a team. Leading a team, yes. But being part of it, probably not.
Motorcycle or Bicycle?
Scott and Rhett: trucks.
Aidan: motorcycle for me and Summer; truck with Chloe.
When sleeping: Fan or No Fan?
Scott: here in Florida? Fans year ‘round.
That’s it, folks! I hope you enjoyed it and read their stories!
As usual, hop with us!

Fun interview. I think Aidan and I would be friends, with just enough differences to make for fun arguments.

Aidan is great– a great pain in my neck, but great nonetheless. We had our fair share of fights while I was writing, then we begrudginly became friends. *shaking my head*
