Please All Welcome Aubrie

Hello Kristal McKerrington readers,

Today I would like to introduce the wonderful Aubrie.

Hello Aubrie. 


Your latest release is called Tundra 37. Where does the inspiration for this story come from? The sci fi inspiration comes from the countless times I watched Star Wars and Star Trek TNG as a kid. I love space opera and the endless boundaries that come with it. I’d never, ever, go on a real spaceship- too scared- so I travel there in my mind. 



As for the ice planet inspiration, that’s all from living in NH, where the temperature can drop below zero. I wear pants under my dress all through the winter, along with two sweaters, a hat, gloves, and scarf every day. It takes me ten minutes to leave the house! So, I don’t like being cold, and I thought: what a wonderful way to create tension in a novel! 


What was the hardest part of writing Tundra 37?
I started to get so interested in the Seers, the people that drive the ship, that their backstory began to take over the book. I found it fascinating to delve into the mind of a person who has lived for hundreds of years attached to a ship, someone who’s merged with the computer mainframe to the point of losing their own identity. 


I had to make sure Gemme and miles story was told as well! 


Can you tell us about your research process? 


I researched minerals and energy sources. I based the mineral they are seeking in the book, hyperthium, after the real energy source, Lithium. Since their ship is nuclear power based, I researched that as well. 
Because of NH’s frigid winters, I needed no research to know how it feels to have your eyeballs freeze, or to almost pass out because you’re playing piccolo in the marching band at a football game in freezing weather at the Turkey Bowl. 


Do you feel that you grow more as an author with each book that you write?
Oh yes, you can read my very first book to attest to that! I actually wrote “he said” “she said” a lot. And I had five million points of view, a different one for each chapter. My, was I naive. 


To date, which of your own works is your favourite and why?
Actually, it’s Tundra 37. I knew I had to write something better than Paradise 21, the original book that sold the series. So, I worked my butt off on Tundra 37. I feel like it’s my masterpiece. Everything came together so well in the end. 
Do you have any hobbies away from writing that you would like to tell us about today?


I’m a professional flutist as well, so I’ve developed my hobbies into two careers. I also have a ton of guppies and goldfish, and I like to go to the movies! 


Thank you for joining us today, Aubrie.


You’re welcome! Thank you for these awesome questions that made me think! (Always a good thing)

Prologue
The Seers

I’m losing her.


Abysme guides the vessel in silence, her blind eyes rolling as she senses our course, two hundred years away from Paradise 18. She’s scattered her thoughts among the stars, and her mind drifts farther from the sister I once knew. I fear the machine has engulfed her individuality. She’s forgotten the meaning of our goal, the oath we took three centuries ago. Most of all, she’s forgotten me, creating an emptiness inside me more profound than the desolation surrounding us.


If I had my arms, I’d reach out to comfort her and usher her back from the black abyss spread before us. As children, I kept her alive through the destruction, signing us up for the Expedition and winning two tickets off Old Earth before it succumbed to hell. But can I save her now?


I send impulses through my brainwaves and into the ship. Bysme, do you hear me? 


Unlike her, I have one operating eye and can see the control chamber we hang from. Twisting my head, I search her features. Her skeletal face twitches. She writhes and the wires holding her in place stretch taut. I wonder what I’ve done to us, the shock of our disembodiment jolting me. Every input hole drilled into my skull snakes with activity. The ship surges through me, a vast intranet of information, names, status charts, and infinite trajectories. If I couldn’t feel the cold, regulated air on the remnants of my torso, I’d be lost in the machine too. I remind myself of our mission and the perseverance flows into my veins.
She doesn’t respond and the fear wells up from within me. 


Can I guide the ship alone? I realize I’ve left her at the helm for too long while I drifted into memories.


Status of Beta Prime? Bysme speaks in monotone computer speech as she turns to the corner of the main control deck where the orb glistens, tempting us with the mysteries hidden in the cosmic swirls within its core. Sometimes, I wish we’d blasted the ball off the hull after its tendrils attached to the outer frame instead of recovering it for study. We’ve guarded it for so long, Project Beta Prime has become part of us, yet we’re further than ever from unlocking its secrets. All I know is the insistence of my memories, like ghosts that refused to be ignored.


Unchanged. The weight of my voice in our mindspeak reflects my disappointment. Like everything else. Bys me falls silent, and I scan the systems searching for answers that aren’t there.

Watch out in the New Year, for there is going to be the second release of that series. We are working through some awesome books.

Rocking A Local Italian

I'll properly be uploading some of the Christmas pics over the following week. It'll be an honour to show you just how this fiery, sexy Author does this wonderful holiday.  Here is just a taste of how the Author has been rocking this past week. I hope that you will enjoy it and will be smiling. 

MERRY CHRISTMAS 

Love always

Updates From Me.

Hello My Wonderful Readers, 


I'm busy writing and hoping that there is some better luck for me out there. My families not been doing so hot recently so as always worried about them. Who wouldn't worry about their family right? 


My jaw is still dislocated and working on getting it fixed. I hope to have the show up and running again when its all fixed up. The problem is that I can't talk for lengths of period of time without upsetting it further. 13 weeks and I wouldn't get it fixed until the 10th of January, if they do anything. You know my luck. 


On the Writing front, I'm working through my books at the usual speed. I'm doing my best to keep it just the way that you like it. I'm looking to expand into Screenplay writing so let's keep our fingers crossed that I can sell some of my hopeful projects next year. I would love that very much. 


Well I would like to thank you for stopping by to read this blog on the Week leading up to Christmas. Today I celebrated my one year and four months with XoXo Publishing. Yes, I've been an Author for that long. I know its doesn't feel the same for me either. 


As I write this "A Different Life and Marie's Tales: I Just Want To Be Loved", has been approved and is now heading towards release. I have heard some rumours that I will be in Print by Valentines day. So lets wait and see if that is true. I'm not saying either way.


We will also see the release of "A Different Life: My Sacrifice" and "A Different Life: Weddings, Rings and Hell" from that series too. I signed the contract for "Marie's Tales: Taming A Player", which is the most exciting series to write. I love Marie's character and love the firey personality. Layla and Marie are the easiest characters for me to write. 


Shetlands Immortals have two books coming out in the new year. The second and the third ones are contract so we will be hearing more about Carla's story very soon. I have some other projects that I'm working on. I am sure they are going to blow your socks off. You know me, I'm full of surprises.


We will see the second one to the "Free's Series" coming out next year. I promised that Ambers would have a second book and I can promise its going to be a hot one. We are going to be heading to American College for that one. There is some hot bodies in it and we will see more of Marie in there. Those two do rub each other the wrong way. 


So please have a Merry Christmas and please stay safe. I will be thinking about all of you. Plus I will be doing a Merry Christmas Blog on the day, as well as a Question and Answer spell on Christmas Eve. I want to wish you a Happy New Year. Sending my love to all of you. 


I'm so luck to speak to you all and remember that you can always ask me anything on Formspring or on my Official fanpage on Facebook. 


Your Author, 


Kristal McKerrington 

Sorry For Such A Long Wait Between Blogs.

Hello My Wonderful, Faithful Followers,

I want to say sorry for not turning out a blog in several months. I know three months is a long time to wait for a blog. I have been very busy and been suffering with some bugs and dealing with some injures. One of which is my jaw. I am writing to you all today to update you on the condition of myself and on how things are going.

I normally run a weekly show called 'Live Chats With Kristal McKerrington', which has been suspended, due to the injury of my jaw. I yawned and dislocated both sides. There is much needing done to it, unfortunately that takes time. So on the 21st of November I will start the road of healing and hope to make it better.

I have been writing alot and been doing a lot of rewrites, so much that I had barely got time to keep up with my promotions. We are starting to work our way through A Different Life: Crossing paths, which is the seventh book. I have written the second and third book in the Shetlands Immortals series and have more books coming out of that series.

Right now we are preparing to release a double A Different Life editions. In the shape of Marie's Tales and A Different Life paired books in the shape of A Different Life and Marie's Tales: I Just Want To Be Loved, which is the fourth book in the A Different Life series. We also have A Different Life: My Sacrifice. I have been working hard on side line projects for that. I will have more updates on that soon, you will hear about those updates on my weekly blog position on All Things Books, which you can find me on every Tuesday.

Burning From Within: Inside Kristal McKerrington, became a best seller, still is in the UK's 100 Top Paid Memoirs  Biographies and Collections.  I can safely tell you that it is a great honour that everyone of you is supporting me the way that you are. We will be donating a percentage of the royalties to the Associations of Arthritics and Dyselixa. So if you have a chance then please pick up your copy at Amazon or XoXo Publishing's site.

Other than that I'm doing well with my new Agent, whom I refer to as Mystery Man. For he can work wonders that don't seem real. I hope to have some huge announcements soon for all of you. In the meantime I will just say that I have been working on a lot of side projects for him.

This Saturday I will start my Fictional Writing course in hope to get some degrees behind me in order to support claim that I'm a real Author. If I'm qualified then I might feel more confidence in the work that I do. I can, but only hope. For the next two years I will be studying, writing, working with my Agent and hoping to raise to a higher success so that you will be granteed to see me more. Well one can hope, can't we?

I will post the releases of A Different Life when they come out on here and promise to update all of you more often. Thank you for your patience and remaining followers on this blog. It means alot to me and alot to my Publishing house.

Where I Am and Where I Want To Go?

Hello My Readers,

Well today I was sitting thinking about something that has been coming up for a while. I have been feeling very restless since I returned from One Pro Wrestling's Show. I was reminded when I was at the show that I don't always like to sit in a Writing Cave, that I love to be out and be doing things with people. I have always loved Entertainment, dancing and doing my thing. So I was doing more out there projects recently for a few very secret things trying to work out whether or not I was going to take a break from Writing.

Go out and experience something else. Just for awhile, this doesn't mean I'd stop writing, far from it. This would mean I wouldn't be writing as much as I have been. It would mean that books would take longer to appear. I have a good few books in the Publishers hands right now so for me to take a break then this would be a good time to do it.

Now you see the thing about writing books is that you need to do things that you want to write about so that you can understand it better and can write about it better, in order for it to be more real to the readers. That is what all of us as Author's try to do. We try to make sure that we give you all the best products that we can. When we are writing books, we are thinking about what our readers want out of each and every single book.

No this doesn't mean I'm off to do some Wrestling adventure. Far from it. I will never wrestle since my body wouldn't take the punishment that they put themselves through on a day to day bases. Glad to clean that up right here and now. Despite the rumours circling around the Internet right now. Yes, these rumours do get back to me eventually.

I want to do more with my career. I would like to go back to somethings that I was interested in when I was younger. Now this doesn't mean I'm returning to Street Hip Hop.

I can't return to the Streets, after my dear friend and last old crew member died then I decided that it was time to leave. It took me two years after that to walk away and trust me I'm staying clear. There is no place left for me in the Streets, I'm too far behind now in there moves, there way of doing things and old school isn't something that is really accepted anymore. (Sucks to be classed as an old school dancer). I'm not missing the Streets, all that much anymore. I just miss the dancing part and that is what I'm now doing as part of my fitness training. So thank you for the thoughts.

I know alot of you saw that I said in 'Burning From Within: Inside Kristal McKerrington' that I had been thinking of leaving the Writing World and that was true. I was thinking of quitting, but someone reminded me that if your good at what you do then don't stop no matter how much bad stuff you get hit with. Now I can all ready hear the keys all ready starting to hammer. Its not that I don't know that I have supporters, readers out there, but the thing is that a Writers life is endless.

We write one book, sometimes two at a time and in the back of our minds we are making notes for the next two or three. Its apart of our jobs. I have a list of 54 books waiting for my attention around the computer screen right now and I  have properly another 54 books noted down in my notebooks.

In conclusion to this blog, I want to thank the fans, readers, friends and family for all the support that they have given me. I haven't left writing nor will I be. I'm just saying that for the next couple of months I'm taking some time away from the books projects to do some other things. I'm going to spend some more time with my family and maybe do some other projects I've been neglecting. Thank you again though. Thank you for the support on the fan page, the new books and the chats. I love you all. I will be continuing to run the show and do my blogs so I'm not disappearing, just scaling back on the amount of books I'm releasing. Much love to you all again.

My Rules and Why I Wouldn't Date Certain Industries Workers

Hello Readers,

Well today I've decided to dive into some of my personal thoughts on somethings and talk about the rules I have in my life as well as why I think along with do certain things. The reasons why I'm doing this is, because of all the talk I've been hearing recently and the never ending complaints from fans saying that they don't feel like they don't know Authors or the Author's that they love.

Some of us have Gimmicks (Acts) so that we can have a personal life, some Authors don't do this. However with me, its the real me just a different name so that I can have the privacy that I need to be able to do what I do. I might also dress differently as my real self in order to be able to feel more comfortable, but this is again is down to needing a dividing line. I have to have that dividing line so that I can get away from time to time. For Authors its essential that we get away, that we escape from the 'Front lines' (Public Eye) and are able to craft the work that you essentially love.

This brings me to my rules. I don't tend to give out my real name or even my number, heck not even my very personal email address. When I do give out my number, email address, my real name its because of business or its because that person is a friend. Please don't feel insulted that I'm introducing myself as "Kristal McKerrington", that is my right as an Author. You wouldn't be pissed at a Wrestler if he/she wouldn't tell you his/her real name. You don't judge porn stars for not giving out there real names either. So why would you expect us too?

Even in the days when I use to do Street Hip Hop, there was very few times that my real name would ever appear. I was always under a Gimmick (Act) name, because that was what we needed to do to keep our magic alive. The air of mystery that is in the Author's world is only kept there, because most of us do keep our real names hidden. Our real lives out of what we do and some of us even can create some stories that will have us standing out in fans minds.

So many fans have no idea what sort of hours that we put in to create the books that they fall in love with and even though now we are just a much as public figures as other people in the Entertainment Industry, doesn't mean that we will want to be in that "Limelight" (Public Eye)  forever. When I'm at events then yes I do put on the whole "Kristal McKerrington" front, its what people fall in love with and if I do take the time to show those people the real me its out of the respect that I'm shown or its down to a friendship being struck up. Its a lesson that some of us have had to learn the hard way.

There is in some area's a great deal of lack of respect for us Independent Writers/Authors out there and I do see the politics that would honestly rival most of the Entertainment Industry sometimes, but then I also see the same side as the Older more Successful Authors/Writers point of view. I've seen alot of disrespect come either the 'Older Members/Successful' or Young/Wet Behind The Ears Authors/Writing  members of the Ebook world.  I've seen them disrespect each other and seen the Younger ones/ Less Experienced Authors/Writers tear other people's careers and reputations apart just to get ahead. Being someone that doesn't part take in the Politics, who just listens and is one of the Young Ones. I have to say its made me more than just a little shocked at what does go on sites, review sites, yahoo loops and other places.

I hope that this current trend will soon become a fast thing of the past, however after speaking to some people who are 'Mentors, Veterains' in there own fields and some of there own Industries I know that is far from a reality. Hence why I have my rules and why I do things in a certain way.

Moving on I want to address some of my other rules that has had people talking recently when I was asked some questions by the fans. I thought it was important to share these questions with you along with why these are apart of my rules of survival in the Entertainment Industry and Romance Industry, never mind the Writing Industry in general.

The other  reason I'm placing these here is that I am in fact in a long term, fully committed relationship with my boyfriend Ian, who stays clear of my career, because he doesn't want to be in the "LimeLight" since he is a very private man. So that is why there aren't pictures of us together and why he isn't linked to my Facebook/Myspace or any of the other numbers of pages that I have.

Fan's Question... "Would you ever date a Wrestler if you were single?"

(Was asked this since I'm in relations with the Wrestling World right now thanks to the expanding genre of Wrestling Romance that myself and L. Anne Carrington are involved in leading the Writing Industry into. Also cause I've attended a Wrestling Show recently, which has been talked alot about by fellow Authors/Writers and fans a like.)

.......My Answer: 'No, I wouldn't date a Wrestler, because of a number of reasons. Not, because I wouldn't trust them. I wouldn't date them if I couldn't trust them. I do have a very open mind in a relationships and there is certain things that I would be able to deal with there lifestyles, its down to other issues that would take a really strong Wrestler to cover come. I don't believe that such a Wrestler is out there that would ever be able to come up to that mark and make something like that work. Not meaning to cause offence, its just how I see it.

Its more down to the fact with the two separate careers that we would lead, it wouldn't work. Wrestlers are on the road 90% of the time and aren't always able to take there Wife's/Girlfriends/Partners with them and Authors/Writers are either at home working on books or when they are on the Road then they are away at different times. When they are away its work related 24/7 and they don't have the time to be 'with there partners' in any real role. Its about always mingling, make contacts and selling to the fans of there genre. Its about being this person who stands out and you have to give however long that conference is to the fans.

They would properly never see each other. Plus its also has a lot of added difficulty for the Authors/Writers side of things, since we can be painted by the Guilty by Association Brush and it would be vice versa for the Wrestler. There has only ever been one Wrestler that I thought that sort of thing could have worked with, but at the end of the day, again its something that I wouldn't try since it would be a demanding relationship that most men who aren't in show business struggles with and it would be extra hard for them to share there partners with fans.

The other side of the thing is that when writing in some ways you have to have 'an affair' with your romantic hero in your mind. Most men who date female/male Authors and Writers hate this fact, from what I have read/heard Wrestlers are very protective as well as processive over there partners. This would be another area that would test any relationship never mind the fact that the relationship would all ready be tested by the fact the pair would be separated nearly all the time too. See it makes sense now doesn't it?

Fan Question.... "If you were ever single, would you date someone from the Adult film Industry?"

(This was again another random question and have no idea where this person got this idea from. It might have been from the Erotic stories I have done for XoXo Publishing. Who knows!)

............My Answer:  Hell No! Here is the reason why. I've never ever thought of that Industry as something that I'm overly found of. It helps when your writing Erotica, don't get me wrong. At the same time it doesn't really appeal to me. There is something about that Industry that does make me feel a little weird. I haven't ever seen the draw to it personally nor would I ever think of anyone in there that I would ever consider someone that you could have a relationship with unless you were ok with open relationships and I'm very much not ok with that. If I'm with someone then I'm with them, if there not faithful then I don't want to know them.

Reason why I say this, is because I've been in the Street Hip Hop World/Drama World where everyone is getting it on with everyone else. To be honest it makes you a very untrusting person after a while and its not something that I have ever got. I wasn't someone who would ever really cheat on anyone. I have done it once and I regretted it greatly. I have been the chick who's been cheated on more times then I can count so I'm sorry to say I wouldn't be interested in an active worker from the Adult Industry.

Fan Question..... "Would you date and have you dated any of your old Crew members?"

(Love Street Hip Hop past questions 'hint')

Yes, we all dated each other at some point or not. It was hard to not want to date each other, because at the end of the day you were always working with each other and were always around each other. For me dating some of them was more about learning to trust them enough to let them through me into the air, to put me into lift holds and for me to generally be ok with them. I was in love with one of the 'Original KittyKat' members and sadly to say he passed on thanks to drugs. We all went through stages when it came to performing, but saying that it was just apart of the lifestyle we were trying to tell the audience in a hundred different ways.

Fan Question........"Did you ever date anyone when you were in Dance after you left battling and became a Trainer?"

(I loved this question!)

Yes I did. I dated my training partner before he cheated on me. It made our dancing alot more passionate and realer. It was hard for him to cope with the Dance World and this is part of the reason why I quit Dance after I got together with Ian. Its hard to have a relationship with your getting felt up by other dancers. I learned that lesson the hard way. There was a great number of relationships that I had that never worked out, because no one could trust each other. I was very open about the things that went on, but it was hard to find other people who thought or were the same. It was a very weird environment to be involved in and the lure to want the attention was hard for alot of them. For me it was so much the draw of the attention. I was looking for someone that understood me and could be with me on a more personal level away from the glitz an glam.

These questions gets me through the second part of my blog since I decided to do a double whammy today for you all. I do have rules regarding to dating in my World and to other Industries Associated with my world. Not that I ever have to worry about them since I am happy with Ian and will not be Single any time soon.

So here is a run down of those rules, I hope no offence is taken by any of the people in these Industries. I just have these rules to protect myself and it could protect other people from heart break if they think what I think is a good idea.

1. Don't Date Active Adult Film Industry Workers.
2. Don't Date Wrestlers.
3. Don't Date Actors/Actresses.
4. Don't Date Film Producers and Production Company Owners.
5. Don't Date Anyone In The Romance World/Writing World.

That is it and I hope this gives you a better insight into me and why I'm more than a different Author with my actions as well as my way of life. I'm sure that I might make a bit more sense to you and I do apologize if this blog hurts anyone's feelings, but this is my own personal thoughts and opinions. That is it.

See you soon, for another in depth blog into my mind.

Kristal McKerrington. 

"Ruffneck" Takes Over My Blog Today In The Last Of The Wrestling Themed Week.

Hello Readers,

Today I'm taking 'Ruffneck' into the Romance, Readers and Wrestling Fans audience. He is a talented man, who has alot to offer. He is an amazing in ring talent with an amazing view on both Romance, along with Wrestling. He in my mind is an rare undiscovered British Talent. If I had my books turned into film. He would be in my bunch of Wrestlers I would choose. Without a further a do I hand it over to 'Ruffneck'.


Q1. What are your thoughts as a Wrestler on the idea of Romance being introduced back into the Wrestling Industry?   

A) Well its certainly something I would never given due consideration had it not been until recently but if there is a market for it and it brings book readers into a realm of entertainment that they wouldnt have considered before then im all for it. i mean wrestling should be doing whatever it can to make its fanbase larger and if this is a portal to implement that then id say nothing ventured nothing gained. I think ardent wrestling fans maybe be hard pushed to make the cross over into romance but I think its possible for book readers to make the crossover into wrestling if its done correctly.

Q2. For you, would you find romance being added to your storylines as a Wrestler harder or not much of a hassle? 

A) Not particulary. I dont think it sits with the character that I portray as the gimmick is a grade A nasty bastard but bottom line is its a character nothing more nothing less. If there was something that didnt sit well with me id say so but everyone in wrestling is expendable so therefore u have to be adaptable to any given situation that is placed before you really.Wrestling is a physical soap opera and can be much more entertaining if done correctly. problem is how often does that happen. its like catching lightning in a bottle sometimes

Q3.) Do you think a Wrestling Romance Writer is a benefit to a Wrestling Promoter?

Hmmm dunno really as I believe at this point wrestling needs to get its own product over. I think maybe at a higher level if you have TV or a weekly internet show it would become more pertinant but as it stands right now the key to getting wrestling over right now is what is delivered in the ring. The romance side would most certainly be a by product as opposed to something being thrust at the forefront. it would be a work in progress and it should be minimal at best. wrestling fans would find it hard to embrace such a concept and again you couldnt have a wrestling show infused with Mills and Boon. It would die on its arse in no time at all. There  is a place for good writing full stop in wrestling but you have to have a regular medium in order to achieve it and right now it just is not there.

Q4.) Would you like to see one in One Pro Wrestling?

A) Id like to see 1PW get its wrestling product to where it should be which is solid entertainment from great wrestling action. it would be a case of selling the wrestling concept to fans of novels as opposed to selling romance to wrestling fans. I think it may translate easier in written format where the writer is master as opposed to trying to sell the concept in the ring. Look im all for anything that gets over and creates success for all parties involved. I just think that  wrestling really needs to push wrestling at this point and then the rest will fall into place. Espcially 1PW.

Q5.) If you were invited to a Wrestling Romance Panel to hear the sides of both Wrestling and Romances sides to the idea of this genre would you attend?

A) If I had the time id listen to all concerned and if they can exploit each other in a sensible manner then id hear what people had to say. Some people would look at this and think fuck this or screw that this is wrestling but if things can be done in a sensible manner and be progressive I have a mind that is not closed to anything

Some Fun Wrestling questions. 

Q8.) Who would be your dream oppanent from the Attitude Era? 

A) Stone Cold Steve Austin without a shadow of a doubt. Im one of his biggest fans, especially for the 96/97 era when he was the true anti hero type character. Id be lying if i said he was not an influence on the way I work because you can see bit of it when I do work. Not that id ever compare myself to him however as I aint nor ever will be in the same league but I do think its important to take bits then add your own swing on things. Theres only one Steve Austin but theres only one Ruffneck too. I dont want to be Stone Cold I want to be what best suits me. For example Im not the best wrestler in the world. I cant do crazy stuff from the top rope  like an El Ligero or have the technical prowess of a Lionheart of a Doug Williams but what I do well is bring a sense of believability to the ring. When I go through the curtain and to the ring I make sure that the fans know im going to fuck someone up and they can sense that. So whe I get in the ring fans actually think fuck me hes gonna do these lads in lol. 

Wrestling is about sticking to your strengths and diminishing your weaknesses. If you just go out there and go through the motions the fans can tell. you give them something a little different at the right place on the card and you can turn heads and give the fans something a bit fresh that will give them a more varied expereience. Austin did that perfectly and I hope when people watch me and Keith Myatt working as The MOB they see that too.

Q9.) Who would you would be your favourite person to tag with? 

A) I'd have loved to have worked alongside The Road Warriors. Those  guys personified what I mentioned in the last question in the sense that they were the baddest guys in town and when they got in the ring with you then you were inn for the fight of your life and as I mentioned before the fans realised that. Again they were not the best wrestlers in the world but by god did they bring that air of believability about them and a presence that was un surpassed. Id have given anything just to have been around Animal, Hawk and Ellering just to learn from them. They were just raw unbridled powerhouses who brought a fight to the ring everytime you saw them. and with their facepaint and shoulder pads they were just something different. So glad they got inducted into the HOF this year and cemented their legacy as the greatest tag team of all time.

 Q10.)  What would be your favourite moment in the Attitide Era be?

A) Probably the whole Rock Austin feud which had quite a few twists and turns. Those guys complimented each other so well that I think it was impossible for them to have a bad match together. truly are masters of the craft of wrestling. As with anything everything changes but that attitude era will resurface again. it came about when they dared to be different but now there is no competition they dont have to be different because the fans have not got a real distinctive choice. it will happen again though.

 Q11.) If you had the chance to work with either Matt Hardy, Shane Helms or Randy Orton who would you choose and why? 

A) I'd love to work with Randy Orton but to be fair seeing as I do tag team wrestling id love to work both the Hardys. When those two guys are on top of there game there is no way on gods green earth they can have a bad match with anyone. All three that you mentioned are all great workers though so it would be a priviledge to wrestle any of them

Some fun readers questions. 
 Q12.)  How do you relax after Wrestling all night? 

A) spend time with my son Jake and my wife Caroline.. Nothing can beat that . as im getting older and more banged up that after wrestling I need them to look after me. I tend to have so much pent up andrenaline that after a match imbeat for the next 48 hours and im no use to anyone haha.

 Q13.) What book has caught your attention most recently?

A) Well I just read the Road warriors autobiography which if your a fan is real awesome. I have to admit though that the best wrestling books ive read have been Jerichos. I know everyone says Foleys were good but Jerichos were so entertaining to read that its hard to put them down. I read a lot of graphic novels too. Im reading The Batman Knightfall series to my son at the moment which are great but its hard to do so many character voices lol. I love autobiographies too. im currently reading Areosmiths Walk this way which is brilliant too
    

Q14.) What is your must see TV show at the moment?

A) Boardwalk Empire by a country mile. though I do like Blue Bloods too. Ill watch anything to be fair. I still watch The Sopranos. I think ive seen every episode at least 6 times lol
    

Q15.) What is your must see Film this year?

A) Must see films of the year in no order are.....Thor, Captain America, Cowboys & Aliens and Green Lantern
    

I agree with your film choices for sure. Thor the Norse God from my Ancestry history is a must see for me. 

Q16.) What is your must attend event this year?

A) If you aint seen Paul Rodgers in concert this year then you have to go. the man has the greatest voice in rock/blues ever. As for wrestling well if you never been to a show before then do some research and check one out. Id reccomend IPW, PBW, 1PW, FWA, CSF, GPW NBW Southside. All good promotions that will entertain you and have fun at
 

Q17.) What is your must attend event for next year?

Wrestlemania 28 baby yeeaahhhhhhh...The Rock v Cena

Please Welcome on Day 7 of the Wrestling Week Blog Independent Wrestling Channel

Hello Readers,


Today we have one of the Promotions in America that want to make a different, who wants to be different. Today the owner of this amazing Promotion is taking to the Hot Seat to answer you questions and to tell you where he stands as a Promoter of Wrestling. So without further a do, here is Independent Wrestling!


Q1) As a Promoter would you have a Wrestling fictional author as part of your writing team if that were an option for you?


A) I would because it would bring a different element to the show.  Like any other writers would I neccesarily agree with everything they suggest, no.  However it brings on a different perspective, you cant shy away creativity!


Q2) In your mind where do you see the Romance and Wrestling tag team going?


A) Depends how the rest of the wrestling business sees things.  Anything is possible!


Q3) Do you believe that it will be essential for the growth of the Wrestling world?


A) No offense to the Romance writers, wrestling will always be there as will Romance novels.  They can stand on their own two feet by themselves which is a testament to what both do for their respective/mutual communities.


Q4) What do you think of what you have had a chance to read in 'A Different Life'?


A)  I was excited to be afforded the chance to check out something different.

A) Tough one, but I would say Helms. 


Q 7) What would be the dream match that you would to love to book for your company?


A) I hope to build dream matches through our new wrestling company!



Q8) If you were able to meet any wrestler in the world who would it be and why?


A) I've already met my childhood idol in Bret Hart.  So I'm set, anyone else is just icing on top of the cake!

Some Readers questions for fun.

Q9) What do you do to relax after a long day/night working?


A) video games, as counter-productive as it might sound but video games!


Q10). What is your must see TV show?


A)  Family Guy


Q11). What is your must see film of this year?


A) Nothing in perticular, last movie i wanted to see in theatres was Black Swan.  Great film!
