Who Said Flannery Gets to Have All the Fun?
Is anyone else tired of Flannery picking out just writing related posts to share?
I guess I should officially introduce myself. I’m Jamie O’Connor, the handsome and charming hero of Kaye Dacus’s novel Turnabout’s Fair Play.
I’m going to be nice and not even respond to what Flannery posted about me last Saturday—except to say that she should have had a little more faith in Kaye and her ability to bring people together. And don’t even get me started on Flannery labeling the photo of me that she uploaded on that post “Jamie the Dork.” There are some things I could share with you about Flannery—
What’s that? Oh, all right, I promised I’d be nice.
Anyway, I know that Kaye likes for her Friday posts to be about fun stuff, so since Flannery’s been dragging you down all week with all this editor-talk about writing and stuff, I thought I’d share some of my favorite fun posts that Kaye’s done over the years, just to liven things up a bit.
Fun Friday–Favorite Bad Guys
Fun Friday–Underappreciated Characters

Obviously, Kaye has great taste in movies and TV shows, but that’s most evident in her posts she’s written about what was also one of my favorite TV shows, LOST:
LOST–This Writer’s Perspective
Fun Friday: Top Five Favorite LOST Episodes
Fun Friday: Best #LOST Death Scenes
Fun Friday Post 2: #LOST Questions
LOST–The Unanswered Questions
I do have to say, though, that I’m very disappointed that she hasn’t written anything about my absolute, all-time favorite TV show to date, Hawaii Five-0. Love that show. Especially Steve McGarrett. He’s so charismatic and has fantastic leadership skills. I’d think every guy out there would want to aspire to be just like him. 😉
So there you have it . . . some of my favorite highlights from Kaye’s blog over the years.
Hmmm . . . looking back at some of those movie posts, there seems to be a recurring theme that also shows up in the book. I wonder if she did that on purpose or if it just happened. Anyway, I know Kaye is exhausted and working as hard as she can to get the book finished or else she’d have had something new and fun for you here today.
Now, if you’ll excuse me, there’s something I need to go ask Flannery.
What? You thought I meant . . .
Oh, that question. I don’t think we’re quite there yet.

Steve McGarrett? Mr. Tall-Dark-and-Uptight? Mr. Aneurysm Face? No way! That show is all about Danno for me—he’s sweet and funny and he never goes off half-cocked the way Steve does. That Steve guy needs some serious anger-management counseling.

Seriously? Danno? That’s not even a real name. And have you seen how SHORT he is?
Steve has it all—he was a SEAL, for crying out loud! He’s got the ink, the cut body—and the man can run!

And what else can he do? He just stands around and broods most of the time. Either that or he’s meting out some pretty serious police brutality. Danno makes me laugh.
PS—Have I mentioned recently that you’re a dork?

I guess I no longer need to sit around being Mr. Nice Guy, do I? Do you really want to go there, Fanny? And if you keep calling me “dork,” it’s on . . . it’s a throwdown.

Okay, so maybe dork is taking it a bit too far—
Of course, there was the whole Dracula incident . . .

I do believe that the Dracula incident was filed in the same “we won’t talk about it” file as any mention of that thing hanging on the wall in your office. But if you really want to start dragging topics like these out in public. . .we could tell people your cat’s full name. I’m just sayin’.

Wait—no, no. I didn’t mean to bring the Dracula thing up again. And don’t you dare tell anyone my cat’s full name.

Hello. My name is Maureen O’Connor, and I am Jamie’s grandmother. Flannery’s grandfather, Kirby McNeill, and I would like to apologize for the children’s behavior on this blog. I know Miss Dacus will be mortified when she comes back to see the things they have said to and about each other publicly.
Kirby and I cannot express enough pleasure in the job Kaye has done so far with writing our stories in Turnabout’s Fair Play, though I wish Jamie and Flannery would have cooperated with her a little bit more. But . . . young people these days.
We hope you have a wonderful weekend wherever you are, and please know that Kaye is looking forward to being back with you next week.

Don’t worry, Maureen. They’re actually rather endearing. I’m sure Kaye won’t be a bit surprised.
And Kaye, what a fun idea letting Flannery and Jamie take over the blog. I love their “on screen” chemistry. Hilarious.
