Q&A with Josh Lanyon discussion

As soon as we know who the lucky couple is, we're going to begin collecting questions for the December interview.

Feel free to place your questions and then I will pick ten for the boys to answer.

Okay, well...Adrien and Jake scraped in ahead of Kit and JX, but I am thinking that's because the vote got so split up. So I'm extending the poll for this weekend -- the choices are Kit and JX versus Adrien and Jake.

Sorry, I haven't been paying attention. Do I vote here, or do I vote somewhere else?

You can also find the polls of our group when you look at the upper right corner of our group's page and click the word "Polls" there.

I clicked on "Polls" in the top right corner of this page, it came up there for me. 8)

LOL. Maybe by two seconds... tops. ;-)

Thanks to both of you! :-)

Kit & JX still have my vote. :)

O..o This is an alternate Poll, than the one I voted on. I got to vote twice!! I like that. =D

Andrea wrote: "Kit & JX still have my vote. :)"

Yep yep!

I had to vote for Kit and JX because we're already getting Jake and Adrien goodies for Christmas. Mind you, I'm not going to be unhappy with either outcome :D

So Josh - weird question. If they're just character interviews, is there any possibility that you can do both? ;-)

Kit please! :-D

Salsera1974 wrote: "So Josh - weird question. If they're just character interviews, is there any possibility that you can do both? ;-)"

I will probably do other interviews throughout the year -- in fact, character interviews are something I do on my blog periodically. Usually they're pretty lengthy, and in this case I'm letting the readers offer the questions, so...

But it's not like pick the wrong one and you'll never hear from Jake and Adrien again! ;-D

And he tantalizes with the possibility of future interviews if my guys lose out! Way to keep us coming back for more, lol! :-)

Just trying to reassure everyone! I really do these interviews!http://joshlanyon.blogspot.com/2013/0...

I go with AE. I can't get to the new book since it's paper only (Europe here) and The Boy with the... will come out say January/February 14? Soon enough. So I do need my AE fix :) Or how about both :) ? Not that I push or anything ;).

Holy cow! You know what? I think I had missed this one! Thank you so much for the link and, belatedly, for the interview!

Thank you for this link.... I haven't read this book so I didn't read the interview but I found the one with Jeff and Austin. It was fantastic.... I really liked their story painful as it sometimes was so it was wonderful to get a little glimpse of their lives. I felt it showed how much Jeff loves Austin, much more then most give him credit for. I actually felt.... if one was measuring "love" that Jeff's feelings ran deeper and were more consuming and loving someone for the first time hit him so much harder making him foolish and sometimes cruel.

Maybe people don't agree with me but I did love that story.

A story I hadn't read! Remedying now.

Antonella - I laughed when I read you saying "holy cow"! Such good idiom! And then I went and re-read the Con Finn interview and laughed again at the David B reference.

I want Kit and JX!!

Okay, we've got a tie. I could be arbitrary and pick a pair, but I'm going to ask the moderators, Johanna and Calathea to each toss a coin.

Heads - A&J
Tails - K&JX

Let me know here what you come up with. We need to get this interview thing rocking and rolling!

Oh. My. God.

ETA: Welcome back!

Johanna wrote: "Oh. My. God.

No. Pressure. Leave it to the gods, my dear. :-)

Josh wrote: "Johanna wrote: "Oh. My. God.

We are working on it as we speak (I have live pic of Calathea's coin on FB right now). You evil, you...

Josh wrote: "No. Pressure. Leave it to the gods, my dear. :-)"

So we left it to our regional gods of luck and look what happened:



(What you should see is a 2 Euro coin with tails up.)

Lucky us! That means Kit & J.X. for Christmas! Yay!

P.S. Good to see you here, Josh! I hope that means that you're feeling better. Maybe all the good wishes helped a bit.

And I tossed my 2 euros five or six times and it was always Tails. I swear it's the truth.

Bummer. Oh, well. Guess I'll just have to keep being patient as I wait for an A&J update! :-) (Because as thrilled -- and I do mean thrilled -- as I am for the Choose Your Own Adventure project, it's not an update! :-) How are my guys? What's life like in Porter Ranch? How the hell is Scout??? And we can't forget Tompkins! Grrr.... :-))

No, Josh, that's not a complaint. I'm psyched. I like Kit and JX, and I'm looking forward to the interview. :-)

Whew! Such a relief to have that resolved! So NEXT year, we will have the A&J update, and this holiday we will be interviewing Christopher Holmes and JX Moriarity.

Let the reader questions commence. I will pick ten or so from whatever you all come up with. :-)

Niiiiiiiiiice. ;)

Woot for Kit & JX!

Calathea wrote: "Johanna wrote: "And I tossed my 2 euros five or six times and it was always Tails. I swear it's the truth.""

It was clearly Meant to Be!

Good coin-tossing, you two! Well done.
:)

Great coin toss! Kit seemed always got caught up with bad weather, he needs some luck this Christmas :-)

Josh wrote: "Let the reader questions commence. I will pick ten or so from whatever you all come up with. :-)"

Okey-dokey. I'll start. I don't know if we are allowed to ask more than one question, but here are a few anyway.

To J.X.:
How do you feel about Kit ending up playing amateur sleuth so often?
How did you actually manage to convince Kit to move in with you?! Details, please. :-)

To Kit:
How do you feel about moving in with J.X.?
Is there going to be a housewarming party?

To both:
What are the best qualities in your lover?
What are the traits in him you could easily live without?
What are the things you are most likely to agree/disagree when living together?
Any Christmas wishes?
How about New Year’s resolutions?!
How are you going to pamper each other during the Holidays?

Excellent, Johanna... I only have a couple for Kit:

1. Did you keep those "image makeover" clothes your agent forced you to buy in the first book? I recall JX complimented on your clothes back then :-)

2. Do you have any trunk novels hidden?

Kit and J.X., have you considered writing a book together? (I can hear a resounding NO... :-) but you never know)

Can Kit ask questions, too? He has to have a chance to complain a bit, you know... ;-)

To Josh:
You aren't planning on giving us pets like you did to Adrien English, are you?

To Kit:
What are you working on? Have you ever considered to spin off Inspector Appelby? ;-)
What does your family think of J.X.?

To J.X.:
What do your former colleagues on the police force think about your books?

To both of them separately.

The fact that J.X. is more successful than Kit already put a strain on the relationship how is that working with them living together?

To both:
Has J.X. met Kit's parents yet? How did that meeting go?

To Kit:
Have you bumped into David since he left or do you still have mutual friends? If David knows about J.X. what has he said?

What did you do with the desk Anna left you in her will?

KC wrote: "Kit and J.X., have you considered writing a book together? (I can hear a resounding NO... :-) but you never know)"

Oh. My. God.

The very thought!

Lol, i know... ;-)

Did anyone else get blinded by all of the lightbulbs suddenly coming on? LOL :D

Good Lord. ANOTHER David!?

What do I have against Davids?

Surely I've written a nice David somewhere?

:-D

Josh wrote: "What do I have against Davids?

Yes, The Dark Farewell :-)

Yes! Exactly. I knew it. I knew there must be a nice one somewhere.
