[Callum & Harper Blog Tour] Guest Post: Fisher Amelie, author of Callum & Harper

The Fairytale Nerd is the next stop on the Callum & Harper Blog Tour! Callum & Harper is written by the very talented Fisher Amelie. I've read her book The Understorey, and it was fabulous! So romantic! Read my review HERE.

So anyway, it's my pleasure to introduce to you Fisher Amelie! Welcome to my blog Fisher!

Fisher Amelie resides in the South with her kick ace husband slash soul mate. She earned her first 'mama' patch in 2009. She also lives with her Weim, 'Jonah', and her Beta, 'Whale'. All these living creatures keep the belly of her life full, sometimes to the point of gluttony, but she doesn't mind all that much because life isn't worth living if it isn't entertaining, right?

Fisher grew up writing. She secretly hid notebooks and notebooks of dribble in a large Tupperware storage container in her closet as a kid. She didn't put two and two together until after college where it suddenly dawned on her, "Hey, I like writing". She's a bit dense. "No, I'm not." "Yes, you are. Put down that Oreo, your butt can't take any more." "You're rude." "Yeah, yeah." Anyway, she likes to write and has finally beaten her self-esteem into submission enough to allow herself to be scrutinized under the 'other readers' microscope. "No! No! Not a cover slip! Last time it gave me a ra...." (mumbling)

"The 25 Day Tour of Bad Aces"

Hello, my name is Fisher Amelie and I am the author of Callum & Harper, set to release Christmas Eve.

I'm taking this tour seriously. I wanted to give my fans something to chew on, to really get them interested in reading. To do that, I've carried out despicable things lately to get the skinny on the characters in my novel including, but not limited to, threatening to write them with a scorching case of Halitosis if they didn't comply in interviews, rummaging through their trash to get some dirt on their personal lives, eavesdropping on IM convo's, etc, etc. You get the picture.

Well today is no different! Today you are getting a fly on the wall perspective of a dinner outing with Callum and Harper, the leads in my little novel, and Charlie and Cherry, the best friends to said leads.

Oh, shhhh, here they are now.

Host: Tate! Party of four!
Callum: That's us!
(All four stand and follow host to booth, settle into their seats.)
Cherry: Lord in Heaven, I am starving.
Charlie: What? All we've done all day is eat! You couldn't possibly be hungry!
Cherry: Charlie James! (Looks appalled)
Charlie: Cherry, seriously, we sat around in my apartment watching a Die Hard Marathon on TBS and stuffing our faces with enough Twizzlers and popcorn to kill an elephant.
Cherry: Uh! Yeah? So?
Charlie: So, you should not be starving, as you say.
Cherry: I'm sorry, are we living in an alternate universe here? (Turns toward Harper) Harper, you're with me on this, aren't you?
Harper: (Looks up from menu) Yes, I'm with you. Now, what are we talking about?
Cherry: Pay attention, will ya'? Die Hard. Keep up.
Harper: Um, yes, John McClane can build up quite an appetite.
Cherry: (Turns to Charlie but gestures to Harper) Case in point.
Charlie: Whatever. (Mumbles, 'Knew I always hated that McClane')
Cherry: (Settles happily in her seat) Alright, so, what's new with you, Callum?
Callum: (Falling asleep at table)
Harper: He's a bit swamped with school, Cherry.
Cherry: Oh, poor baby! And you, Harper? How's school going for you?
Harper: Same ol', same ol'. Professor Flaherty has it out for me.
Callum: (Suddenly perks up) Flaherty? He's, like, the most mellow guy in the world. He's only thirty or something. Too young to get all huffy like the rest of them.
Harper: (Turns red) (Mumbles, 'I'm an idiot') He's, um, he just doesn't like me is all.
Cherry: (Whispers to Charlie in horrible Australian accent) Watch as the predator stalks its prey.
Charlie: (Whispers back to Cherry) Don't ever do that again. (Smiles)
Cherry: (Pretends to be offended)
Callum: There's something you're not telling me, kid. Spill.
Harper: I've no idea what you're talking about. He just doesn't like me.
Callum: Harper, you're lying! Look at your face! You're a terrible liar. When are you going to learn this?
Harper: (Sighs loudly) Fine! He may have implied that I could 'solidify my A by the end of the semester if I accompanied him to a dinner tutoring session'.
Callum: (Scratches head) I don't get it. You're getting an A in that class already. I've made sure of it.
Harper: (Looks around the restaurant) Interesting decor.
Callum: (Metaphorical light-bulb lights up, eyes widen with realization) I'll kill 'em.
Harper: (Grabs Callum's arm) No, no. I've taken care of it. Trust me. The slap to his face took care of that and he wouldn't fail me on purpose because, well, I could report his idiot self and I've already earned an honest A. Just gotta' wait out the semester.
Cherry: It amazes me that men just fall at your feet, Harper.
Harper: Thank you. That's very flattering.
Cherry: No, no. You don't understand me. Yes, you're beautiful but there's something more to you, I think. Maybe it's the way you carry yourself. You're confident. Yes, that's it. You're confident and by the looks of your clothes it's obvious that you have a 'I just don't care what you think of me' air about you. That, doubled with a killer body and hair that rivals Aphrodite and you're a shoe in for the crazies.
Harper: (Sobers) You have no idea.
Callum: (Off in his own world) Crap! We forgot, we're supposed to be doing an interview with Fisher at The Fairytale Nerd right now!
Harper: Great! Now she's gonna' write me with a terrible rash and I've got mid-terms!

So, there you have it, folks. Not very interesting. Don't worry. They're all going to get terrible rashes on their bums for that. Ah, feels good to be in control. (Not a very benevolent leader, am I? Oh well. Mwuahahahaha!)

Callum & Harper

Fisher Amelie

Life sucks for orphans Callum Tate and Harper Bailey.
Kicked out of their foster homes because they suffer the 'eighteen disease' with nothing but a hundred dollar check from the government and a pat on the back, they're forced to rely on a system that failed them miserably.
So they sit. They sit inside Social Services, waiting for their social workers to call their names and offer them the miracle they know will never come but they sit anyway because they have nowhere else to go, no other options on their very literal and figurative empty plates.
But as they sit, they notice the other. Although captivated, they each come to the conclusion that life is complicated enough without throwing in a boiling tension that can't ever be acted upon because they're both too busy thinking about where their next meal will come from but when their names are called and both are placed on a year long waiting list for permanent housing, suddenly relying on each other seems like a very viable plan B.
And, oh, how lovely Plan B's can be.
Well, except for the psycho from Harper's past that haunts her and, oh, yeah, there's the little issue that neither of them knows they're in love with the other.
Needless to say, Callum & Harper's life just got a bit more complicated.
“One day, you and I are gonna’ wake up and be alright. Maybe not today, maybe not tomorrow but one day. One day. I promise you.” - Callum Tate
