This morning my characters got lost, but they are now up at Kylie's, so go on and click on the link above.
I put the interview here as well until she got her road map drawn:
Worst and Best Moments of Worst Week
Ever
Today, Kylie Wolfe will be interviewing the characters of Worst Week
Ever for their Worst and Best moments during a week so horrible, yet fun, that
Liza O'Connor felt compelled to write a book about it.
K: So, let's start with Carrie, Executive Assistant to Trent
Lancaster of Lancaster Chairs.
Trent: Hold on, I'm CEO. You should start with me.
K: *rolls eyes* Fine, 'gentlemen first' then. What's the
worst thing that happened to you this week?
Trent: It was the moment I saw a file cabinet tipping out of
the 5th story window of my office and Carrie standing like a mindless twit,
picking up papers, exactly where it would fall. In that moment, I saw the
destruction of my life and the end of any chance for happiness.
K: Has anyone ever mentioned you come across as a mite bit
self-centered?
Trent: Do you want to hear about the worst moment of my life
or not?
K: Of course. Go ahead.
Trent: Unable to bear the possibility of losing my EA, I
ran, without thought to my own safety, snared Carrie by the waist and saved her
life. Then some idiot policeman arrested me. Evidently, they don't like good
Samaritans.
K: And what was your best moment?
Trent: Were you not paying attention? I just told you.
Carrie, make her understand.
Carrie: *smiles at Kylie* I understand your confusion since it was a single event. However, when Trent
saw I was about to die that was his worst moment. When he saved my life that was
his best. *She grins at Trent*
Trent: Exactly! Why is Carrie the only one who can
understand me? *he grips her hand* But you see why I've decided to keep her
with me, wherever I go.
K: Because you can't make yourself understood otherwise?
Trent: No! A Lancaster doesn't have to explain himself. But
in this case I will. I have to keep Carrie close by so I can keep her safe. You've
no idea how much trouble she got into this week.
Carrie: *pulled her hand away* My first arrest was entirely
your fault. As was the reason your phone ended up in the hands of a drug
dealer. And what about you hiring a FBI agent to commit a crime? That was all
your doing.
Trent: *frowns* When did I get you arrested? Oh the airport.
*returns focus to Kylie.* Did you know that Airport Security will arrest you if
you buy a ticket to Peru, enter the international section, but don't actually
go anywhere?
K: Why would anyone do that?
*looks at Carrie*
Carrie: He bought the ticket so he could get past security
and wait for me at my gate.
K: *looks at Trent*
Trent: *shrugged* I desperately needed my EA back.
K: And Carrie, what was your best and worst moment?
Carrie: There have been so many this week. I think my worst
moment was making those narcotic turtles. I almost caused three people to die
over that fiasco.
Trent: Who?
Carrie: Mars, your penthouse butler, Jack, your only working
systems guy, and Sam, your driver.
Trent: *frowns* Well, at least that Jack fellow will stop
demanding turtles to do his job now.
Carrie: *rolls eyes and refocuses on Kylie* My best moment
was when Trent told me his lobby guard was wrong and--
Kylie: Hold on. I just got a text message from Liza. She
doesn't want you to discuss that matter.
Carrie: Oh, okay. Sorry Liza. Well, I was really happy when the
police let me go without charging me. Evidently what I did could have gotten me
6 years in a federal prison.
Trent: *snorts* She, who actually did something wrong, gets
off scott free and I had to pay a million dollar bond to get released.
Carrie: *Stands up and glares* Trent Lancaster! If you
repeat your outrageous and totally untrue claim as to why I got off, I am never
doing another interview with you again.
K: I guess this concludes my interview with Carrie and
Trent.
Trent: You should say Trent and Carrie.
K: *shakes her head* You two are an odd couple.
Trent: You mean because she's only four feet and I'm six
feet tall?
Carrie: *crosses her arms and grumbles* I'm four foot six.
Trent: *Pulls Carrie to his side and hugs her* Doesn't
matter. I think you're perfect both inside and out.
Carrie: *smiles at Trent, then Kylie*
Just when I'm about to lose my temper, he'll say something so sweet that
I can't help but forgive him. I can see a very good man in Trent. He doesn't
realize how he often comes across. His father was a terrible role model.
Kylie: Well, he's different than the average hero, I'll give you that.
Worst
Week Ever

What do you get when you put a hardworking, can-do
middle-class young woman together with a egoistical, outrageous, billionaire
boss, then throw in the worst week of disasters imaginable?
Book 1 of the 3 book
series A Long Road to Love.
Worst Week Ever.
Trent Lancaster spends one month without his Executive
Assistant, or as his drivers refers to Carrie: 'Trent's brain, left hand, and
right hand'. He's had a miserable month without her at his side and to ensure
it never happens again, he intends to marry his brilliant beauty. Only given
all the times he's threatened to fire her, he's not sure she even likes him.
However, the future of his company and his happiness depend upon him
succeeding, so Trent begins a slow one week seduction that happens to coincide
with Carrie's Worst Week Ever when everything that can go wrong does so in
hilarious form.
(Hilarious to the
reader--Carrie is not having much fun this week.)
EXCERPT
Closing his eyes, Trent enjoyed the pleasure of Carrie’s
body pressed against his.
His eyes popped open in horror. Oh God, David’s right. I am besotted.
What the hell was he thinking?
Statistically, his relationships never lasted more than a
month and they always ended badly. A billionaire who couldn’t make a
relationship last more than a month. How horrible did he have to be to chase off
women who had a billion reasons to stick it out?
If he became involved
with his most valuable employee, in a month, she’d dump him and quit. Then his
business would collapse into chaos and he’d finally prove his father right. The
old man constantly claimed Trent was a worthless human being and the world’s
worst businessman.
And then Carrie arrived and single handedly saved his
company. She never gave up. If one solution failed, she’d find another way to
resolve the problem.
He smiled at his sleeping EA. If anyone could make him into
a better man, it would be her.
Carrie could solve any problem, had the patience
of a saint, and the determination of a pitbull. Best of all, she loved a
challenge.
Stop by, because there's lots of $$$ to be won during this tour.

I love your interviews!!! Tweeted and shared on FB.
ReplyDeleteThank you Ella. I saw the shared FB post. I really appreciated it.
ReplyDeleteThis really sounds like a great book. I am definitely adding this to my TBR list. I really enjoyed this post and I feel for Carrie because I have had days that anything that could go wrong did so I sympathize with her. Shared on Facebook.
