Bonnie Phelps, Author: Meet the Characters - An Interview with Dan from "Dan Alexander, Pitcher" by Jean Joachim

Thanks for joining us today as noted sports journalist, Adora Smutz, interviews Dan Alexander from “Dan Alexander, Pitcher,” first book in the Bottom of the Ninth series.

Adora:

Today I’d like to welcome, Dan Alexander, all-star pitcher for the New York Nighthawks, and resident hunk at Hingus Stadium. How did you get to have the first book in the series, Dan?

Dan:

It’s easy Adora when the author has the hots for you. Shhhh. Don’t tell anyone, okay? I don’t want my girlfriend to get jealous.

Adora:

Right, Dan. *Winks* Your secret’s safe with me. Hummm, now where were we. Oh, yes, your new book. Tell me about Holly. Is she good in bed?

Dan:

What?

Adora:

You heard me. Is she hot? She looks hot.

Dan:

Hey, that’s over the line. I’m not going to tell you about that. Geez. I thought we were supposed to talk about the book?

Adora:

Your sex life is well detailed in the book. I understand you even raised the number of flames over some of Jean’s past books. Is that true?

Dan:

*Grinning* When you’re hot, you’re hot, Adora. What can I say?

Jean (author of the book):

Good try, Dan…

Adora, his book is the same heat level as all of my previous books, except my sweet series, which have no on-the-page sex.

Adora:

You certainly are sexy, Dan. *Fans herself* Could someone open a window in here?

Dan:

I’m taken, Adora, remember that. Now do you want to talk about how Holly and I met or what?

Adora:

If people want to hear that crap, they can read the book. My fans want to know what your favorite sex position is.

Dan:

Well, I was looking up in the stands, just before the game, and there she was…

Adora:

You’re not answering the question, Dan. Jean assured me you’d answer my questions. It’s not too late to unpublish your book, you know. *Trains a frosty stare at him*

Dan:

What! Unpublish me? No way. Okay, what do you want to know?

Adora:

About the trial…

Dan:

Can’t talk about that.

Adora:

Why not?

Dan:

Jean said it would give away too much of the plot.

Adora:

Okay, so getting back to your favorite position…

Dan:

I like them all, Adora.

Adora:

*Chokes on her saliva* All!

Dan:

Yeah, put that in your pipe and smoke it. Let’s just say I never met the position I didn’t like. How about you, Adora? What’s your favorite?

Adora:

Oh my! *Face turns red* Well. Uh. I guess that’s all for today.

Dan:

Hey, aren’t you supposed to tell people where they can get the book?

Adora:

Oh, heck, I forgot. You can find, “Dan Alexander, Pitcher” where all fine eBooks are sold.

Dan:

It’s in paperback and audio, too. Thanks, Adora. Always a pleasure.

Adora:

Me too, Dan. If you ever break up…give me a call.

Dan:

You won’t be lonely. I posted your phone number on the wall in the locker room. You should be getting a few… *Cell rings*

Adora:

Excuse me, Dan. Hello? Yes, this is Adora Smutz. You want to what? Say who are you? How tall? Blond? *She smiles and sits back in her seat* Tell me more.

Dan:

I think she’s going to be tied up for a while. Thank you for listening to my interview. Jean…I’ll get you for this. Goodnight.
