(Please note this blot hop is now over.)
Interviewer: Our guest is Laurie Bevins, history graduate from Westminster College in Salt Lake City. Her father is a Hollywood television producer. I understand his first movie, a romantic suspense, is coming out next month. Would you like to tell us about that?
Laurie: Um. Not really.
Interviewer: Oh. We were really hoping to hear about the movie. Um. Let’s see. You grew up on your father’s TV studio lot, didn’t you? I bet there were lots of handsome heroes around then. Did you fall in love with any of them?
Laurie (wrinkles her nose): Ugh. They were all stuck up. I liked the stunt guys because they played with me in the summertime when I was off from school. They even taught me how to to shoot a gun.
Interviewer: Can you hit anything?
Laurie: Well. I used to be able to hit cans off a fence. I got really good at it. I remember the first time I shot a gun. It took me both hands to hold the six-shooter. (Laughs.) I aimed at the can, pulled the trigger and landed flat on my you-know-what! My mother used to dress me in frilly white dresses, white ankle socks with lace and black patten leather shoes. She yelled at me for hours after that day!
Interviewer: It must have been traumatic–not hitting the target, the guys laughing at you–
Laurie: The guys didn’t laugh! They were great! After helping me up, they stood behind me to steady me, and helped me learn how to aim the six-shooter. I practiced every day. My mother gave up and put me in blue jeans. By the end of the first season I could hit a can almost every time.
Interviewer: Almost?
Laurie (shrugs): One out of three times.
Interviewer: Have you gotten any better?
Laurie: I dunno. I haven’t done much shooting since. But let me tell you about how I learned to rope!
Interviewer: We’re out of time, Laurie. Thanks for your time. You look like your ready for a trip.
Laurie: I’m going to see my folks in LA.
Interviewer: Safe trip.
Laurie: Thanks. I’m sure I’ll be fine.

Laurie takes the back roads home to LA, but a stop at a rest area proves to be a very bad idea. Read all about it in the romantic suspense, Chasing the Tumbleweed!
