A Visit with Miss Guided
March 27, 2009 by Lillie
Lillie: Some very interesting and talented guests have visited this blog, but never before have we entertained an … oh, I’ll let our guest tell you that. Welcome to A Writer’s Words, An Editor’s Eye, Miss Guided.
Miss Guided: Why, thank you, Miss Lillie. This time-traveling tutor is thrilled to take time to talk to you about this time-travel thriller.
Lillie: You look and talk differently than anyone I’ve ever met before. Just who or what are you really?
Miss Guided: My marvelous, meek mortal, Miss Lillie, if I perhaps present to you my personal purpose on this planet and impart to you, a Heaven-loved human, what I truly am, the secret stays between us?”
Lillie: Of course, Miss Guided. I’ll keep this between us and a few blog friends.
Miss Guided: Well, Miss Lillie, I am just another created consciousness known in the Heavens as a direct-contact angel on assignment as a human in the guise of a Southern governess to tickle and teach my mortal man, whose name is Matt McCain.
Lillie: How did you get the name Miss Guided?
Miss Guided: My Satan-slaying senior Sir Gabe says I am his favorite angel of joy and that when I am on assignment I’m able to use any appellation that tickles this mirthful marm so I chose the moniker Miss Guided.
Lillie: Who is Matt McCain?
Miss Guided: My new man Matthew is another son of Adam, and this angel is elated to have such an adroit charge. Allow me to recite an example. The Divine Creator wondered if Eve’s offspring would notice the delicacy of oranges already put into nice bite-size sections before they were skinned, and my man Matt marveled at the mystery and determined it must be divine intervention.
Lillie: And why are you helping him?
Miss Guided: I am helping him because my fiend-fighting foreman Sir Gabe, the head of the heavenly host, assigned his favorite glad guardian to strive to help my charge to re-acquire their fine family ranch while stopping him from smacking his toe on a stone.
You see, Miss Lillie, Matthew McCain was a very mistreated mortal. He is raging over a sadistic assault with an enlarging looking glass, which destroyed his vision. I must say, it was the loathsome Lucifer and his human Cypher servants at their wickedest.
But Miss Lillie, I’m sure our worthy Master permitted the black angel’s aggression because it can be the McCain family’s key to redemption, though it will take Matt’s pains and purposefulness to procure it.
Lillie: Who is Juan?
Miss Guided: Juan is an orphan that came from one of sick Cypher’s sad orphanages in Mexico. This is where Satan’s servant Cypher stocked and supplied all his cheap labor. Juan got his name Kicker after I snatched him with my man Matt from Cypher and sent them to Master Murphy’s to learn martial fighting facilities. I did this to prepare them for their trip through time to take down Cypher’s antecedents. I must say, Miss Lillie, Kicker can kick really cool!
Lillie: Who are the Cyphers? How did they get to be so rich and powerful?
Miss Guided: My aforementioned man was Matt’s great grandfather Lucas McCain. I’m embarrassed to say. but I was slightly misdirected as my man McCain sat down to a game of stud with John Cypher and was swindled by Cypher’s forbearer out of his lavish lands and loads of Longhorns.
You see, Miss Lillie, John Cypher openly used slave labor in his silver mines. As slavery became unacceptable to society, with the McCain stake John Cypher stealthily opened a number of manual work farms in Mexico. Here he had an endless supply of the destitute. The devious man’s descendants continued to swell the business through card cheating, political manipulations, and financial influences.
Lillie: Let get off this topic of evil for a minute. What does it mean to travel outside of time?
Miss Guided: Well, Miss Lillie, I’ll elucidate as clearly as I know how. Outside of time is from where the Lord of Lords reigns. It’s where every day is existing now. Beginning with the devouring of the fruit in the Garden of Eden to the return of the King of Kings on His white stallion, outside of time is where a second is as a thousand years and a thousand years is but a jiffy. That is why your Creator can consider what everyone is doing at all times. First grade arithmetic will tell you His Majesty has a thousand years of seconds to note your meaningful one second prayer. And if my mental math is proper, that is 525,600,000 minutes to listen to you. That, Miss Lillie, is why this century and that one ahead of us are no longer separated by time. They are both the existing, the present, the now.
However, Miss Lillie, I was warned strongly by Sir Gabe that retroaction to a past period is sporadically permitted. The chances for unforeseen consequences are profoundly probable so I was pleased that my chief cherub permitted me to pursue this precarious path.
Lillie: What will Matt and Kicker be doing back in the past?
Miss Guided: Well, of course Kicker likes to put fast-flying feet in his foe’s faces while my man Matt must match wits with the worst gamblers of the Old West—Wild Bill Hickok; that sick psychopath Doc Holliday; and the most feared cheater of all, S. W. Erdnase. My charge must carry out this to win enough cash and coin to procure a place at the table with the cheating John Cypher.
Richard Turner, The Cheat
Lillie: I know our readers are eager to hear more about this game, but we don’t want to give away the whole story. Tell me about Richard Turner, The Cheat, and why he came to tell your story in the book Re-Deal.
Miss Guided: Well, Miss Lillie, it goes like this. Mr. Cheat was asked many times to pen his pursuit and perils to become a world-class card mechanic despite his vision loss. He even had past proposals to play a part in a moving picture about his life, but instead he penned this time-travel thriller to tell his story.
Lillie: Where can readers learn more or buy a copy of Re-Deal?
Miss Guided: Oh Miss Lillie, it’s very simple. You see, to get a personally signed copy with one of Mr. Cheat’s special decks of cards, just go to RichardTurner52.com.
Lillie: Thank you, Miss Guided. This has been a fun interview—my first with an angel and perhaps the wittiest answers I’ve ever had to interview questions. Is there anything else you’d like to share with my readers?
Miss Guided: If your fans or family want a fun story filled with fighting foes with an inspiring message, feel free to find a copy of Re-Deal: A Time Travel Thriller for all your favorite friends.
Lillie: We’ve shown a picture of the book cover and a picture of the author. Did you by chance bring a photo of yourself to show our readers?
Miss Guided: Will this stay just between us?
Lillie: Just like the secret of who you are—just you, me, and a few readers.
Miss Guided: Well, Miss Lillie, I’m sure you know that cameras can’t capture created consciousness. But I did endeavor to engage a picture of my mortal man Matt and myself in the form of a fragile female as a little town tutor. I’m particularly partial to this particular picture.
Lillie: That’s lovely, Miss Guided. Thank you for letting us have a glimpse of your human form.
Miss Guided has promised to come back during the day and bring the author, Richard Turner, The Cheat, with her. Leave your questions and comments for Richard and Miss Guided, and they will respond as soon as they can.
Another interesting and entertaining interview here, Lillie. Based on the characters, I think it would be a fantastic novel. I’ll check it out to see whether my intuition is right or not, Lillie…

wilson,
Your intuition is right. In my humble, completely unbiased opinion, Re-Deal is a fantastic novel.
Why, Miss Lillie, you’re as impartial as the mindful news media that prances around the pretty new president parsing every procurement from the people with praise. However, unlike the mass of mad media, I know my Miss Lillie would never dishonestly steer a soul astray.
Oh, and dear Wilson, if you read the story about me and my man Matt, I hope your insightful intuition is proven proper and you are satisfied with the simple story of a soul striving for success.
Gotta love the alliteration! sounds like a very interesting and unique read.

Miss Guided loves her alliteration! Even when she sneaks in a word that doesn’t quite say what she means, she gets in the alliteration and you understand what she’s saying.
It’s simply seraph speak. When I’m in the guise of the little southern town tutor, I talk like the rest’a ya’ll.

When I read the initial exchange, it reminded me of Socrates’ dialogues. There is so much irony and truth in it.

That’s an interesting observation. Miss Guided is full of wit, irony, and truth.
Choose,
Socrates says to this seraph and I say to you that it’s hard to handle hemlock during a hollowed Halloween hoedown.
Very nice interview with Miss Guided. I thank you for sharing this with us.

You’re welcome. I enjoyed doing the interview.
New York,
May I ask if you insure three-legged horses? My triple trotter’s policy is past post.
Miss Guided´s last blog post..Re-Deal Available as an E-Book
wow !! New york got his/her business done here
sriraj,
That is if they will insure a three-legged horse. I’m not sure that fits their underwriting criteria.
sriraj,
I would need a rider for my horse’s fourth leg, which I keep in the trunk.
I’m pretty sure New York has a solution for that too
sriraj,
A good marketer always has a solution!
“Yank it on over, Seraphim!”
I have a second to sit and chat between Re-Deal’s chapters six and seven with sriraj about insurance for my happy horse’s hoof before I must hurry off and help my hassled humans.

@Lillie it funny to read some of your responses(if you wrote YourName@Keywords, I could address you as a real person, and you would still get your keyword link)
Great interview with Miss guide, always my favorite type of post. Thanks for sharing with us.
Jerry,
I really prefer talking to Jerry rather than to Meeting Rooms.
I think many commenters do not understand Keyword Luv so I try to explain to them. However, I don’t think the offenders ever read the responses so it doesn’t seem to do any good. From time to time, I think I will no longer allow comments from keywords … but so far, I’ve always relented.
I’m glad you enjoyed Miss Guided’s interview.
Jerry,
Maybe me and my man Matt might meet in your marvelous meeting room for a friendly hand of Hold’em-hmmm?
Texas hold’em is one of the best. I wanna play again asap!
Jay,
I guarantee you don’t want to play with Matt McCain or Richard Turner. You’ve already lost if you play against either of them.
Jay,
You got Miss Guided so excited that she drug Richard Turner into the conversation. They talked so much we ended up doing another interview. So for the response to your comment read the post Miss Guided and Richard Turner.
Lillie, what a fabulously clever and entertaining interview! A great way to introduce the characters in what sounds like a fantastic novel. I’ll have to add to my reading list!
Karen,
I’m glad you enjoyed the interview. Miss Guided is quite a character! Hope you read Re-Deal soon and enjoy it greatly.
Miss Swim, after you take a delightful dip in Re-Deal maybe you might join me, my man Matt, and his karate-kicking confidant Kicker for sixty or seventy stimulating strokes across his cement pond. Miss Swim, you sound like a sweet person this Seraph could sit, speak, swim, and sow with for seasons upon end. An angel can always spot another.

Aside from being busy collecting articles for my blog, i like reading a lot especially series books. This Re-Deal: A Time-Travel Thriller is somewhat different to what i used to read. From the interview with Miss Guided, i am quite curious about the story. I read the synopsis from this site http://richardturner52.com/re-deal/ and yeah, it is a very interesting story. I am not promising to buy one but I am hoping that Richard’s story will win a movie premier.
MarcyOne,
Thanks for the wishes for a movie—that would be super!
Wow! What an imagination. I’d love to read more of that. Thanks.

Miss Guided is definitely interesting and one of a kind.

All you have to do is buy the book.
You can read nearly 400 pages of Miss Guided, Matt, and Kicker.
first things first, i will properly use your keyword luv function as you simply requested from users.
secondly, thank you for the great article write-up. Do you know if the book re-deal is available in any stores?
Nick,
Thank you for using KeywordLuv properly. It’s much nicer to talk to Nick than to concrete curing.
