Welcome to the MAX-imum Exposure Tour for the 13 to Life Series! Happy Book Birthday to Secrets and Shadows, which is out TODAY!! Be sure to go pick up your copy.
I am really excited to have both Max & Pietr on the blog today!
Each site throughout the tour will have swag and an individualized interview with either Pietr, Max or both! Shannon has also included an audio download for each interview so you can hear the Rusakova boys! I had technical issue with my audio part of the interview, and the person you hear interviewing the guys is not be, but was kind enough to fill in for me. Please select Play
to listen to the audio portion of the interview. I've also included a transcript below.
And make sure you join us live at 9pm EST on 2/17 here for a live chatroom chat with Max, Pietr and Shannon!
Katie: Hey, guys!
Pietr: Hi, Katie.
Max: Here. Sit with me. Make yourself comfortable.
Katie: I'm thinking we should just start off with a question everyone is dying to ask, which one is the better looking one?
Max: I am.
Pietr: He is. But I’m smarter—
Max: Heyyy...
Pietr: --and intelligence tends to outlast looks. Besides, who would you rather date—someone who remembers your birthday and can choose a gift based on your interests or—Max. Quit staring into Katie’s eyes like that.
Max: Keep talking, little brother. I’m sure you’re doing fine. Just—ignore us...
Pietr: Where. Is. Your. Necklace?
Max: I’m off my chain today... You have beautiful hair, Katie.
Katie: Umm...Thanks...
Pietr: MAX.
Max: And gorgeous eyes, Katie. Shhh, Pietr—girls like it when you use their name.
Pietr: They like it when you can remember their name ten minutes after you’ve walked away, too. What’s your next question for us, Katie?
Katie: Oh, yes. I've always been curious on what it's like running through the woods with the wolves.
Max: You wanna come along sometime?
Katie: Wait—what?
Pietr: Ignore him, Katie. The question?
Katie: What do you enjoy most about being in your wolf form?
Pietr: The feeling of running free in areas people often overlook—bursting through the brush and briars—
Katie: That’s beautiful, Pietr.
Max: What I like most about being in my wolf form is—
Pietr: --being able to pee wherever and whenever you want?
Max: Nyet!
Pietr: --being able to—
Max: Pietrrrr--
Katie: Boys! Many of us are anxiously waiting Secrets and Shadows, as 13 to Life left off with a big cliff hanger. Can you tell us a little about what we can expect?
Pietr: More trouble. Definitely more trouble.
Max: Do you like trouble? ‘Cause I’ve been told I’m nothin’ but trouble...
Pietr: Max... Katie—
Max: Those sound nice together—Max and Katie...
Pietr: Katie, not only do we get into more trouble, but there’s also more romance—which spells trouble, too.
Max: Romance and trouble are not spelled alike, even I know that.
Pietr: Next question, please.
Katie: Being girls, we know how to keep a secret and we're wondering if either of you has a secret you'd be willing to share with us. You know, something that the other one may not want us to know about him *coughs*, nothing bad of course.
Pietr: Of course. Nothing bad.
Katie: Pietr, you’re glaring at Max...
Pietr: And I thought I was the only one who stated the obvious.
Max: Pietr’s a virgin.
Pietr: What?!
Max: Well, it’s not a bad thing. Necessarily. I guess.
Katie: Pietr—Pietr—your eyes are turning red...
Pietr: Sorry, Katie. Give me a minute, please. A secret. About Max. Nothing bad.
Katie: Right—nothing bad.
Pietr: Max isn’t as bad as he acts.
Max: What?!
Pietr: He has a bad boy reputation, da, but... He’s just a big kitten. A pussy cat.
Max: Pietrrrr---
Katie: Boys—BOYS! How would you describe each other in three words?
Max: Three words?
Pietr: You can count that high, da?
Katie: Three words—three clean words.
Pietr: Max is: overwhelming, obtuse and obnoxious.
Max: Pietr is: unique—a good thing, uptight and obvious.
Katie: If you could pick another paranormal power, what would you choose and why?
Pietr: Telekinesis. The ability to move things with my mind could be very helpful considering all the trouble we seem to attract.
Katie: That could definitely be useful. And you, Max, what paranormal power would you want?
Max: Telepathy. Being able to hear other people’s thoughts and share my thoughts with others...
Pietr: Not much to share...
Katie: Pietr—Max... Behave... Thank you both for stopping by.
Pietr: Thank you, Katie.
Max: It was my pleasure...

Fun interview - I love it when the characters take over.
ReplyDeletehahaha, soooo funny... love it..
ReplyDeleteI've been waiting for this book, can't wait to read it. And OMG the cover of the third book is amazing! I absolutely adore the intensity of the eye (of all the covers) and the coloring ;D
By the way, are the eyes supposed to symbolize any of the characters in the book? it seems that the second eye is female? and the two others are male?
I can't hear the interview, am i the only one who can't listen to it ? :(
