Welcome to author Nicky Spencer and the A Bolt of Blue blog tour! We’ve got a character interview to share with you today, and there’s also a giveaway, so be sure to check out the Rafflecopter widget for entry details.
I’m so excited to be here to talk about my new novel, A Bolt of Blue. It’s an m/m/m contemporary romance, and it’s my very first book! I really hope readers end up loving these three boys as much as I did.
Today I decided to interview my three main characters, who, by the way, are still together and very happy! I asked them each the same five questions and got a variety of different answers.
Ian
Q: Do you pick your nose?
A: Of course I do, everyone picks their nose. Anyone who says they don’t pick their nose is lying.
Q: If you had a dog, would you pick up your dog’s poop when you go for a walk or sneak off and hope no one saw your dog poop on their lawn?
A: Depends on if I remembered to bring a bag with me or not. This is why Mitch won’t let me have a dog. Well, one of the reasons.
Q: On Monday morning, are you excited to go to work, or are you sad?
A: I’m always sad when I have to go to work. It always means either getting out of bed, or leaving my sexy boyfriends. Sometimes both. But I’m always glad once I get there and get going. Being a nurse is exhausting but I love helping people.
Q: What’s the last thing you watched on TV and why did you choose to watch it?
A: The Voice. I totally ship Adam and Blake. #shevine
Q: Do you consider Monopoly to be a game that you play with friends or enemies?
A: Bwahahahahaha.
Mitch
Q: Do you pick your nose?
A: Um…pass.
Q: If you had a dog, would you pick up your dog’s poop when you go for a walk or sneak off and hope no one saw your dog poop on their lawn?
A: If I had a dog, I would clean up after it. If you’re not responsible enough to clean up after your dog, then you shouldn’t have one.
Q: On Monday morning, are you excited to go to work, or are you sad?
A: I don’t really have a job right now, so…
Q: What’s the last thing you watched on TV and why did you choose to watch it?
A: Adventure Time. It’s my go-to when I need to unwind.
Q: Do you consider Monopoly to be a game that you play with friends or enemies?
A: I grew up playing Monopoly with my family, it’s one of my favorite memories. Everyone should have family game night! I am so buying Monopoly so Ian, Dusty and I can play tonight.
Dusty
Q: Do you pick your nose?
A: I’m an adult. I use a Kleenex.
Q: If you had a dog, would you pick up your dog’s poop when you go for a walk or sneak off and hope no one saw your dog poop on their lawn?
A: Clean it up. Only assholes don’t clean up after their dogs.
Q: On Monday morning, are you excited to go to work, or are you sad?
A: I’m always psyched to go to work. Being my own boss is the third best thing that ever happened to me. (Mitch and Ian are tied for number one.)
Q: What’s the last thing you watched on TV and why did you choose to watch it?
A: The Voice. I didn’t have a choice; Ian made me.
Q: Do you consider Monopoly to be a game that you play with friends or enemies?
A: Enemies, by default. Friends don’t make friends play Monopoly.

Tour Excerpt
I’m not sure I heard him right. Even if I did, I need to make sure I’m really clear on what he’s saying. “What do you mean?” I ask.
Ian sighs into my ear. “I mean, what if it was the three of us? Together?”
“All three of us?” I’m like a parrot.
“Yeah.”
“And how would that work?” I know how it would work sexually. I’ve seen plenty of porn, and there are a lot of really creative possibilities when you get three guys together. Just thinking about it is getting me hard.
But I don’t think that’s what Ian means. At least, that’s not all he means.
“Well, I don’t know exactly. It’s not like I’ve ever done it before. But I think…I mean, you have feelings for me, right?”
He sounds so timid asking, and I wish he was here so I could show him how much he doesn’t need to worry about that.
“You know I do.”
“And I think Mitch does too. I hope he does. And I know how you guys feel about each other. So if we all feel that way, then why can’t we be together? There wouldn’t be anything to be jealous of. We would all be in it together.”
I have to admit, it sounds appealing. Like really, really appealing.
But it won’t work.
“Mitch would never go for it. He’s way too traditional. He wants the white picket fence, the kids, the dog. The whole domestic bliss thing. He wants to get married. You can’t be married to two people.”
“Not legally, no. I know it’s crazy. I’m just thinking out loud, mostly. But I can’t stop thinking about it. It’s the only way we all get what we want. Why can’t we all have what we want?”
“Because that’s not how life works.”
“Well, it should.”
Yeah, it should.
“It would be nice,” I say.
“Can you picture it?” Ian asks. “Will you think about it with me for a minute?”
“Okay.”
“So imagine you and me. It’s a Sunday morning, and we sleep in late and then get up and make breakfast. Are you imagining it?”
I nod, and then remember he can’t see me. “Yeah,” I say.
“Imagine we spend the whole day just hanging out. Like we did that one day, remember? Only we don’t have to keep our distance. We can touch each other. I can brush your arm with my hand when I walk by you in the kitchen. You can kiss me in the bathroom when we’re brushing our teeth.” The picture makes me smile.
“And then imagine that Mitch comes home. He was on a road trip, and he’s tired. And you’ve made dinner for him, and we all eat together. And then we sit on the couch, and I rub Mitch’s feet and you play with his hair. We’re watching some dumb movie on Netflix. Can you see it?”
“Yes, I can see it.” I can, too. And it’s so sweet it makes my chest ache. I can practically smell Mitch’s hair, and hear him purr at Ian’s touch. He loves to have his feet rubbed.
“And then the movie ends, and we all go to bed. Together.”
I smile at that. “Who’s in the middle?” I ask.
“Me,” Ian says without hesitation.
I imagine myself spooned around him, my hands brushing along his stomach while he pushes his ass into my groin. And all the while I’m looking into Mitch’s eyes. He’s on his side facing us, reaching out to touch Ian’s face, but he’s looking at me. He’s so content and happy. He’s in love.
I see him kissing Ian. Softly at first, but then with more intensity. I see my own hand running up and down Mitch’s arm while he presses his body against Ian’s. I hear the soft, wet sounds of their mouths moving together, and I reach out with my own tongue to trace the shell of Ian’s ear.
“Dusty? Can you see it?” Ian asks, breaking into my reverie.
“Yes,” I breathe.
“Is it beautiful?”
“It’s perfect.”
“Tell me again why we can’t have that?” Ian asks.
I think about what Erik said to me the other night, about how I always play it safe. And where has it gotten me? He wasn’t just talking about my career. Maybe it’s time I took a risk for love. Honestly, at this point, I have nothing to lose.
“Maybe we can,” I say.
