Now, allow me to introduce today's lovely guest! Her name is Victoria Adams and she's here with two characters from her Circles Trilogy series, a contemporary romance. Welcome Victoria!
I'm
Victoria Adams and I'm so happy to be here. I write NA (ages 17 to 22) and
contemporary romance. And today I brought along Julie Anderson and Robert Holiday
from my Circles Trilogy series.
Victoria - Describe your
childhood family. Where did you grow up?
Julie-
I'm the oldest daughter. I have 1 younger brother and 2 younger sisters. We
live in a beautiful house in Westland.
Your turn, Robert.
Robert
- *grimacing* - Do I really have to answer these?
Julie
– Come on, you agreed.
Victoria
– I'll buy you a beer afterwards.
Robert
- *sighs and rubs face* - OK. I grew up in North Shore. That's like the exact
opposite of where Julie grew up. My mom ran out on my jerk older brother and me
when I was about 9. Never knew my dad.
Victoria – Will you share your
happiest childhood memory? Most frightening? And blackest
Julie
– Best memory. **giggles** That's easy. The day I met Robert. The first time I
looked into the dark eyes and he smiled at me.
Most
frightening. The high school dance where Chris almost date raped me. Until
Robert showed up and made him stop.
Blackest.
*she squeezes her eyes shut* The moment I thought Robert was dead.
Robert
– Best memory – every time I've kissed Julie.
Most
frightening. I don't think you really want to know what that is. I've been in
some very dark moments. Gang fights. Guns. Stared death in the face more than
once.
Blackest
- *he scratches his chin* – When Julie left to pursue her dance career.
Victoria – Tell us where you
two met.
Julie
– High school. Technically biology class, which is just too ironic.
Robert
– As a parole condition, I got sent to Westland Private Prep School. Snooty
rich bitch place. I was in her classes and somehow how we just started talking.
Victoria – some quick fun
questions.
What’s
your favourite food?
Julie
– chocolate. But since I'm a dancer, I eat it only on special occasions.
Robert
– Beer. And I drink it whenever and wherever I can.
What’s
your favourite colour?
Julie
– soft pink. It reminds me of the colour on my pointe shoes.
Robert
– Blue. Sky blue. If I'm under a blue sky then I free and being free is good.
Victoria – Last question, I
promise. In three words, describe your partner.
Julie
– Handsome. Noble. Sexy-as-hell. The last one is hyphenate so it's really only
one word.
Robert
– Beautiful. If I knew a word better than beautiful I'd use that.
Compassionate. *he chuckles* I can cheat too. Sexy-as-hell
Victoria
– Thank you both for answering all my questions and now let's go get Robert
that beer I promised him.
Robert
– I'm out of here! * Julie rolls her eyes, laughs and follows him.*
Circles
Trilogy
Dancing In Circles
–
One
born into privilege and a charmed life surrounded by love and family. The other
born to a life of violence on the streets as the solemn gang leader of the
notorious Shoresmen. A young, idealistic co-ed, Julie, meets a jaded, cold gang
member, Robert, and cracks his icy shell, allowing the warmth of her love to
awaken his soul.
Circles Divided
-
Is the love of a girl from
wealthy Westland and a street punk from the slums of the Shore strong
enough to surpass all that life will throw at them and forge a life together?
Is Julie willing to sacrifice her childhood dream of becoming a professional
dancer for the man she loves? Is Robert willing to lay down his ties to
the gang in order to hold onto his newfound love? Sacrifices must be made,
but will they be enough?
Circles Interlocked
-
Having been betrayed by the man she assumed she was destined
to be with forever; Julie Anderson slapped Robert Holiday in an angry ending to
their brief love affair. Heartbroken that her love affair didn't end with the
fairy tale Happily Ever After, Julie
leaves town to pursue her dream of being a dancer. As fate has a curious sense
of humor, eight years later, they wake up in bed together. Now it is up to love
to fix what time cannot mend.
