Liza O'Connor's Crazy Blog Tour!

Maria: Today we have Sam, Trent's driver from Worst Week Ever. He's supposed to give us the scoop on all the main characters. I hope he shows.

Maria: This must be him now.

Sam: Hey Maria. If I had known how pretty you are, I would have arrived a few hours early.

Maria: Be still my heart.  *takes a deep breath* So why a painting instead of a picture?

Sam: Not sure. Either Liza can't afford to buy pictures--she's a starving author, you know-- or she just likes to paint.  You like?

Maria: No complaints, just wondering.  You know, you kind of resemble--

Sam: Don't even go there. I in no way resemble Trent. I'm a real man, not some pampered Lord Fauntleroy.  

Maria: I'll grant you, you look more approachable, but you do have the same forehead, blue eyes, jaw shape. 

Sam: What I don't have is a billion dollars, a penthouse or a Long Island Estate. However, I do know how to treat a lady to a good time. *eyes Maria with interest*

Maria: I'm married.

Sam: *grins and gives a slight shrug*

Maria: So talk about your relationship with--

Sam: the ladies?

Maria: No, with Trent.

Sam: *sighs and props feet on the coffee table* Master Trent. What's there to say? Even with a billion reasons to like him, women don't. Guess how many of his dates I've seduced.

Maria: I've no idea.

Sam*crosses his arms*  Forty-two.  And mind you the seduction occurs while I'm driving Master Trent and his date around town.

Maria: How is that even possible?

Sam: I stare at them in the rear view mirror

Sam: Then seal the deal while helping them out of car. I know every sensitive spot on a woman's body.  Then after a crappy evening with Trent, he'll ask me to take them home while he goes to a bar and cries about his inability to seduce a woman.

Maria:  And they fall for you?

Sam: I wouldn't say fall for me. Most of these ladies are starlets or models. They see me as their tasty reward after a god awful date.

Maria: That doesn't sound very satisfying. Do these relationships go anywhere?

Sam: Honestly? They aren't satisfying and they  go nowhere. The only enjoyment I get out them is proving I can get what Master Trent can't, despite all his money.

Maria: Maybe you should forget about Trent's dates and find a young woman you actually like.

Sam: Mars said the same thing.

Maria: Who's that?

Sam: The Penthouse butler.

He was my captain when I fought in the war. He became Master Trent's butler a few years ago. He's probably the best butler in the entire country. I was shocked when Master Trent actually had the brains to hire him.

Maria: So are you going to follow his advice to find someone not related to Trent?

Sam: I have to. Trent has stopped dating. He's obsessing over Carrie now.

Maria: She's very pretty, but looks too young for Trent.

Sam: She does, but I checked her passport. She's 24. The incompatibility is that she's middle class and smart.

Maria: Excuse me, but isn't that a handcuff on her wrist.

Sam: Yeah she's prone to getting into trouble, too.  But what she isn't is an easy seduction.

Maria: You seduced Carrie?

Sam: I tried, but she barely even noticed. However, to be fair, my heart wasn't in it. Unlike all the other women, she actually likes Trent and forgives him when he's being a jerk. She honestly thinks he has potential to one day become a good boss and a great man.

Maria: And you don't.

Sam: *Shakes his head* Master Trent was a jerk the day I first met him and remains so to this day. I'll grant you he's nicer when he's around Carrie, and since he's kept her at his side 24/7 during this crazy week, he's shown improvement, but my money says when she leaves his side, he returns to being a jerk. It's his natural state of being.

Maria: For Carrie's sake I hope you're wrong.

*Sam's phone buzzes and he answers it*

Sam: What?...Having sex with a beautiful woman. What do you need?...   Be there in twenty. *hangs up phone* That was Master Trent. He needs me to pick him up at his penthouse and drive him two block to work...on my day off. Well,  that's the life of the nameless, downtrodden servants who serve the rich.

Maria: Thank you for coming. And I wish you luck in finding a woman to truly suit you.

Sam: *takes her extended hand and brings it to his lips.* It's been a true pleasure meeting you, Maria. I wish we had more time.

Maria: Still married.

Sam: I'd show you how irrelevant that is, only I've got to go

Maria: Well, that man is pretty certain of himself. Guess I'll have to read the book to see how it turns out for all of them. Now where did I put... Aah, there it is!

  1. Maria, thanks for having Sam on your site. I hope he wasn't too much trouble. Like Trent, he's a handful.

    I'm curious if the readers can see a resemblance between Trent and Sam.

    1. Thank you for letting him come over. He seems very self assured, but he wasn't any trouble. =)

  2. *snort* I like Sam. There is something about an incorrigible man that entertains me, haha. great interview!


    1. Yeah, they are funny when they aren't your incorrigible man

  3. i don't know Liza, Mars looks much sexier than Sam. He is not my favorite. i'm in the home stretch of the book! Great post

    1. I agree - from the pictures I like Mars better. I have yet to read the book, though, so that impression might change. XD

  4. Thanks. for stopping by. I think Sam is a great deal like Trent, only poorer.

  5. Sam is quite the charmer, isn't he? Poor thing. When Trent finally settles down, he's going to have to go find a woman of his own to seduce :) Awesome interview and fabulous excerpt!

    1. Interesting you should think so. Mars the butler is encouraging him to do that.

  6. Great interview. I always thought chauffeurs should seize opportunities when they can. Picking up stock tips from casual conversations in the back of the limo. Or picking up women, the way Sam does. Seems kind of smart to me! On my way to Amazon to buy Worst Week Ever right now.

    1. Stock tips, great idea! Maybe I should start driving a limo. LOL! =D

    2. Gemma, I love your idea to go straight to Amazon to buy Worst Week Ever. I hope you enjoy it, but you probably shouldn't drink liquids while you read. It's really hard on electronics.

      Maria, You might want to spend some time with Sam first. It doesn't sound like fun at all!

  7. That was fun
