Guest Post and Giveaway with Cameo Renae

Yesterday I featured author Cameo Renae's book in my Bargain Book Bin.  If you missed my review of In My Dreams by Cameo Renae you can read it here. 

Renae's book is a touching tale of a boy who is trying to protect the girl he loves from beyond the grave.  A stroy that reminds us again that true love doesn't die. If you are a sentamentalist and a fan of the movie Ghost, you will love this poignant story.  Best part, you can grab an ebook on Amazon for $1.99, or stick around to enter to win a copy at the end of this guest post. 

Now here with a multi character post is Cameo and some of the characters from her book: Lizzie and Michael, the young lovers, parted by an untimely death and Liz's best friend Emily and their friend Tyler. Take it away gang:

 If you had to change something in your life what would it be?

 Lizzy – We ALL know what that would be… for Michael to be alive, of course.

Tyler – And me dead?

Lizzy – I didn’t say it… YOU did.

Tyler – But I know you were thinking it. 

Emily – Could you two please give it a rest?

Michael – Hello!? I’m still here!

Lizzy – But not physically. And that totally sucks - I can’t even touch you!  

*Lizzy tries to grab Michael’s arm but her hand goes right through him. She bursts into tears.*

Tyler – Dude… I’m so sorry.

Michael – It’s alright.

Lizzy – No! It’s not alright! *sobbing*

Emily - Heidi… Could we please move on to the next question?

  If you could meet anyone in history, who would it be and why?

Tyler – Ghangas Khan. Because he was totally kick ass.

Michael – Einstein… just because. 

Emily – Cinderella, because she went from rags to riches and got to marry a Prince.

*Tyler and Michael glance at each other, then burst into laughter*

Lizzy – Emily. Cinderella is make-believe. She’s not real. 

Emily – But I thought – 

Tyler – You thought wrong, babe.

Michael – Next question….

 What would describe your personality...give an inanimate object… Ex. I'm like a book....So much more inside once you get to know me.

Tyler –  I’m like a gun. Sometimes I’m loaded, sometimes not, but I always get my target.

Lizzy – Not every target. *sneers*

Tyler – Thanks for the reminder.

*Michael chuckles to himself*

Emily – Loaded? Tyler? 

Tyler – Not anymore, babe. It was just an analogy. I’m clean. Totally clean.

Michael – Well…I’m like a glimmer. Seriously. 

Lizzy – Well, I love the way you glimmer.

Michael – Thanks Liz. *They stare endlessly into each other’s eyes*

Emily – I like the way you glimmer too, but not as much as Lizzy does.

Tyler – And what about me? 

Emily – I like that you’re not loaded anymore. *Emily smiles – Tyler huffs*

Lizzy – I’d have to say that Emily… well…she’s like a grab-bag gift. You never know what to expect. 

*Emily glances at Lizzy with a dumbfounded look*

Lizzy – But she’s totally fun and my best-friend.

Emily – Thanks Lizzy! You’re the best… And Lizzy’s like a strawberry - pretty on the outside and sweet inside. 

Lizzy – Oooh-kay? *Raises eyebrows and shrugs* Thanks, Em. 

Emily – Of course! *winks* 

Tyler and Michael – NEXT! 

  Do have a special place to write or read?

Tyler – I don’t read OR write. 

Emily – That’s not good Tyler. You should try it. I write in my diary every day, and love to read in my bedroom.

Tyler – You have a diary?

Emily – Yep.

Tyler – Am I in it?

Emily – I’m not telling you! Hello! It’s a diary… you know… secret.

Lizzy – *Clears throat* I used to like to read at Lake Liz.*tears stream down face*

Michael – It’s okay, Liz. *trying to comfort her* 

Tyler – I said I was sorry, Liz.

Lizzy – *Sniffles and dries tears* I know… I’m still trying to deal with it all. 

 Have you ever experienced continuous writer's block? How did you escape?

Tyler – I think this one’s for Cameo Renae. She’s in the waiting room outside. 

Emily – Should we go and get her?

Lizzy – Yeah… we should.

Michael – I’ll get her! Hold on…

*Michael disappears, and re-appears a few seconds later with a distressed look on his face.*

Lizzy – What’s wrong?

Michael – I think she’s pissed cause’ I popped in and scared her.

*Cameo Renae walks in with her hand over her heart and shoots Michael a dirty look.*

Cameo – Michael, you scared the bejesus outta me! Don’t just appear unannounced like that! At least give me some kind of warning!  

Michael – Sorry. I didn’t mean to. 

Cameo – *Sighs* It’s alright. So what’s up?

Lizzy – Heidi has a question for you. 

Emily – Yeah… she wants to know if you’ve experienced writer’s block, and if you did… how’d you escape?

Cameo – Ummm- Well, I actually never experienced writer’s block for In My Dreams *knock-on-wood*, but I have had a bout with it on the new book I’m writing. If I get stuck, I usually go through the outline and pick a spot that I know I can write about, and then go back to the troubled spot later. 

Tyler – That’s a cool plan of attack. 

Cameo – Thanks. So… how did you guys do?

Tyler, Michael, Lizzy and Emily – Good.

Cameo – Cool.

Emily – Cameo, can I ask you a question?

Cameo – Sure Em. Shoot.

 Emily - Is Cinderella really make-believe?

*Cameo looks at all the others in the room with wide eyes. They shrug and roll their eyes.*

Cameo – Yes, honey. Cinderella is make-believe. Why?

*Emily sighs and slinks back into her chair.*

Emily – Nevermind. 

*Cameo glances at Heidi* I hope they behaved themselves. Thanks so much for letting us visit!
