Today I am back with more of Sourcebooks Fire's "Do You Believe in Voodoo?" blog tour for Jeff Strand's A Bad Day for Voodoo. If you missed Part I, you can check out the guest post from Tyler, the book's main character, right here. For Part II, I have the pleasure of having a guest post from Jeff Strand himself telling us what are some moments in his life he wishes he could do over.
In A Bad Day For Voodoo, the narrator,
Tyler Churchill rewinds a scene in the book to feature a more dramatic
alternate version. Find out the top
three moments Jeff would rewind and create and alternate version for in his
life.
1. My birth. Aside
from the whole "miracle of birth" thing, there was nothing really
dramatic about it. I mean, yeah, my mom thought it hurt and I was crying and
somebody was going "Push! Push!" but for this moment to really have
dramatic impact I should have come out singing "Born This Way" by
Lady Gaga. Then doctors would have been screaming "This child is
unnatural! Destroy it! Destroy it!" but my dad would have stopped them
from squishing me between the defibrillator paddles. After fleeing the
hospital, my parents would have tried to get me to sing so they could make
millions from the miracle singing baby, but I would've been like the frog in
the cartoon and ONLY sang when there were no other witnesses around. Ha!
2. That one time in high school when I
broke my arm. Here is
how I broke my arm: I was playing soccer, and I ran at this guy who had the
ball, and we collided, and I hit the ground. Crunch. The thing is, soccer is
primarily known as a sport you play with your feet. I mean, they even call it football
in other countries. So when you tell people that you broke your arm playing
soccer, they're all like "Huh? What? How do you break your arm playing
soccer?" It's embarrassing. If I could rewind, I could have broken my arm
in a sport where you actually use your arms, like bowling.
3. Writing this guest blog entry. I'm writing this on my back porch. My cat
is asleep. None of my opponents have made a move in Words With Friends for the
past half hour. Yaaawwwwwn. If I could rewind, one of my opponents would have
played a really lame word, like IT, but then I'd use their "I" and
play QUIZ, where Q was on a Triple Letter Score and Z was on a Triple Word
Score, so I'd get 129 points and even
if they had the J and the X they'd never beat me! Ooooh, such glorious drama!
A Bad Day for Voodoo sounds like a hilarious read if it is anything like this guest post from author Jeff Strand. Be sure to check out the book and keep following the blog tour!
