Shehanne Moore writes dark and smexy historical romance, featuring bad boys who need a bad girl to sort them out. She firmly believes everyone deserves a little love, forgiveness, and a second chance in life. When not cuddling inn signs in her beloved Scottish mountains alongside Mr. Shey, and spending time with her lovely daughters and grandbaby, Shehanne can be found playing the odd musical instrument and relishing, what in any other country would not be defined as hill-walking. The dudes are her wee companions, hamsters (excuse me, hamstahs) who have a penchant for telling it like it is 🙂
** Find Shehanne’s books here and here. **
Welcome, Shey and Dudes!
So Tina, first of all can I just thank you for asking me here today to talk about myself and my work. And not just me. You were kind enough to ask the dudes. As you can see they are very happy. Thrilled, in fact, to be here.
Shey, I’m thrilled to host you and the dudes. All of you were such gracious hosts when I visited your blog, so I’m even more delighted you accepted my invitation to visit mine.
I’m nothing if not sensible, my dear dudes. Thank you for noticing!
Uh-oh . . .
Of course! That goes without saying.
Dudes, little guys, can we just can it, thank you?
Tina didn’t ask you here to talk about you.
Um . . . Shey? It’s okay if the dudes talk a little about themselves, because our followers adore them ❤
But dudes, we never.
But guys……
Dudes, you haven’t mentioned the Time Mutants.
Well…….. I wouldn’t exactly say—

Err….. Tina, what can I say, but sorry?
No need for apologies, Shey. I think the dudes did a fine job promoting you and your books. All of you are welcome here anytime. Thank you for being such lively and charismatic guests.
Such a lovely author interview, Tina. Love those hamsters. Great to learn more about Shehanne’s books.

You were wise to give the Dudes free reign, Tina. Look how they responded to poor Debbie. At least they mentioned Shey’s books and allowed her to post an excerpt (and you don’t have to watch your back or worry that your face will end up on a dart board).
Remember, Dudes, TinkerToy adores you and he needs his mommy, so I’m staying a member of your Fan Club, okay?

We are glad to hear this Maddy. I mean some folks there who we won’t mention who asked to be put on our dartboard. We did do well to show off Shey’s books but that was only because Hamstah Dickens ate his once again the night before we were due on here, then he ate the replacement.

Me too, Tina – certified critter wuss – even for the ones I can only meet online because of allergies.
fyi – the Dudes can call me anything they want because, well, I’m afraid of them, but I don’t respond well to nicknames – never have. The only one that doesn’t make me skeeve is mgh (long explanation there). Even when I was too little to pronounce my own name I’d tell people, “No, it’s Madelmum – Maddy is for babies.” (but only my Dad had dispensation to use that version – lol – which is always how he addressed me in birthday cards, right up until his death).

Then Madelyn it is. I find myself following the lead of more seasoned bloggers. What’s most frustrating is when a blogger’s name isn’t mentioned either in their blog’s title or on their ‘About’ page. I really do like to address people by name.
I like ‘certified critter wuss’ and think we ought to dub ourselves the CCWs! We have many friends here who most likely would join in 🙂 ❤

CCW it is! That makes us charter members – somebody needs to send our pets treats, doncha’ think?
I share your name frustration and wonder why so many bloggers don’t fill out their ‘About’ pages – one reason why my auto-tagline has my full name (but I try to remember not to use it for follow-on comments).
I unknowingly referred to a new blogger by her pet’s name quite a few times because it was the only name on her blog until she *finally* filled out her about page. Even now I find her name difficult to recall as a result.
Thanks for understanding about my aversion to nicknames – mainly I don’t want “cutesy” versions of Madelyn to proliferate, because that would drive me NUTS.

Time to lock up your nuts and clear the dartboard. Tina Frisco took it upon herself to interview The Dudes… also knowns as the Kossak Hamstahs who normally rule over on Shehanne Moore’s website. To say that Shey managed to get a word in edgeways from time to time is an over statement, however the Dudes did show some grace and talk about Shehanne’s books including her latest one. Well done Tina.. you probably need to take a day or two now to recover!
