With the imminent release of Divide & Conquer, Book 4 in the Cut & Run series, I asked fans of Ty and Zane to come up with questions for the two FBI Special
Agents. The response was overwhelming and because there were so many questions they couldn’t answer all of them. Sorry!! There was a definite trend and Zane had better ante up that present. 🙂
Ty and Zane sent me a few sketches of how they see themselves and I took the liberty of including them here. Hope you like them, if not, Ty said you can make your own damn pictures and he would be happy to tell you where to put them. 😆
**********
Melanie has a couple of comments and a question
I want to see more love & passion between you two.
Ty: Get in line, honey.
Zane: More passion? We’re not passionate enough?
Ty: I think she means you should bring me flowers.
Zane: Somehow flowers don’t seem like your kind of thing. Now, firearms or gummi bears, those are things you love.
Ty: Gummi bears and ammo. There’s your love and passion. Next question.
Will you ever get over your stubborn attitudes & just do the happily ever after thing or at least the forever thing?
Ty: She said stubborn, she must be talking to Zane.
Zane: Pot, kettle.
Ty: Shut up.
Zane I think you should give Ty the Christmas present you bought him while on the cruise; I think he’d really like it!
Zane: I hope he likes it. I just haven’t decided when to give it to him. It got a little crazy there at the end of the cruise. Maybe his birthday.
Ty: What Christmas present?
Zane: You didn’t hear that.
Ty: I kind of did.
Sirius has a couple of tough questions for Zane
Do you love Ty? As in “right now”, not in the future Or do you still love your dead wife more than Ty?
Ty: Zing!
Zane: When you’re talking about the two most important people I’ve had in my life, I don’t think you can compare them like that. It’s not even remotely the same.
Aunt Lynn is happy you boyz are back in town and she has two questions. Here’s the first:
I’m curious if either of you think that your coworkers/supervisors are on to you.
Ty: I think if anyone was on to us they’d have said something, either to warn us or turn us in.
Zane: I don’t think anyone we work with every day suspects anything. Even if they did, I’m not sure the response would be all bad, except the official line, maybe.
Ty: It would be bad.
Zane: I thought I was the pessimist in this relationship.
Ty: You’re the pessimist, I’m the realist.
From Chris
Ty and Zane, I’ve often wondered if it’s part of the danger of being caught that keeps things exciting for you two. Do you think anything would change between you guys if your secret affair was discovered by your co-workers?
Ty: I don’t think anyone would care, I just know we’d be separated and then Zane would get his ass shot off on his first case without me.
Zane: Hey!
Ty: How’s that for danger?
Kkm wants to know
Guys – what is your opinion on love? How do you define it? Have you ever been in it? How do you live it?
Zane: It’s messy. Personal experience talking here.
Ty: 
You’re such a dick. Answering a serious question with a joke, I am shocked.
Zane: I’m not joking.
Ty: You’re messy, shut up.
Zane: To me, loving someone is when it hurts to breathe just thinking about them not being there. It’s the focus of your life: why you work, why you play, why you get up each morning, why you risk your life. It’s everything.
Ty: I think love is something that can’t really be defined in a sweeping statement. That’s what makes it so tricky. But the closest I can get to answering is to say that you wake up and your first thought is of that person. Something funny or weird or horrible happens to you, and the first thing you think is ‘I need to tell him about this.’ It’s easy and it’s comfortable, and if it’s not, what’s the point?
Jamie is very direct
I want to know if Ty has ever been with any of his marine buddies (sexually that is).
Ty: Uhh… well there were two men in service, but they weren’t my buddies. Technically. Well, one was a Marine. One guy from the SAS was… it’s a long story, that’s… wow, that is not any of their business! What the hell?
Zane: Want me to smack you if you start to answer again without thinking first?
Ty: Yes, please.
Jennifer has underwear on her mind:
Do you prefer Boxers, Briefs, or commando?
Zane: On Ty? Commando.
Ty: I like commandos in briefs, if that counts….
From LSK
Ty, are you going to tell Zane about the side jobs and are you still doing them?
Ty: How the hell do they know about those?!
Zane: I know about those jobs, so what if they know about them?
Ty: Because I’m sleeping with you!
Reggie has obviously been giving a lot of thought to her questions:
Zane — Tell me about a favorite event of your childhood?
Zane: Probably the first time I rode a horse. Actually, it was a pony. My Granddaddy Zach got him for me for my fifth birthday. It obviously was thrilling since I still remember it.
Who has had the most influence in your life and why?
Zane: That’s difficult question to answer. Obviously some people have been more important to me than others, and I’m sure it’s pretty clear that Ty has had a huge effect on my life in just the past year. But I think I’d have to say Jack Tanner, if we’re talking the single most influential force on me. I met him at a time in my life where I had no clue what I was doing. I was away from home for the first time, newly married, and let myself get talked into going to the Academy, and for awhile it was almost a sure thing that it had been the worst choice I’d ever made. Jack took me aside and told me that you’re the only one who can 
make yourself into what you want to be. If I wanted to be an FBI agent, I could do it. But I had to decide and commit to it or I’d fail. Once I got that straight in my head, he taught me a lot of what makes me the agent I am today.
Ty: That’s okay, I’ll just be sitting over here, not answering questions.
Zane: I listed you first. I don’t need to wax poetic about it.
What hobbies/interests do you wish you had time for?
Zane: There’s nowhere around here to go horseback riding. I’d really like to go dancing, but it never seems to work out. I used to collect mystery and suspense novels. Loved them. That’s actually why I talked to the Bureau recruiter when he called. I still read a lot, that’s what I do for relaxation.
Jen also has a host of questions
Do the two of you have similar interests in music/tv/movies?
Ty: Sort of.
Zane: Mostly. I just haven’t found the time to follow a TV show or even go to the theater, so I stick to Netflix. You’d think with the shit we deal with we wouldn’t like action movies, but Die Hard is still one of my favorites.
Ty: I love Westerns. But my absolute favorite movie ever is Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil. The Ghost and the Darkness is a close second.
Zane: But he says John Wayne movies aren’t real Westerns.
Ty: They’re not.
Zane: I like classic rock, and Ty listens to just about anything. I never know what I’ll hear when I get to the house.
Ty: You’ll hear awesome.
Zane: Or Captain and Tennille.
Ty: Patent lie.
What’s the one movie that is guaranteed to make both of you laugh out loud?
Ty: Clue. Funny every time.
Zane: ‘Let us in! Let us in!’
Ty: ‘Let us out! Let us out!’ Classic.
Brittney
Ty, do you have a guilty pleasure television show you like to watch?
Ty: Yes. There’s this show called Deadliest Warrior. They take warriors from the past or present and pit them against another one, like a knight versus a pirate, or Attila the Hun versus Alexander the Great. They go through all these explanations of how they fought and with what weapons, and then they run it through this bullshit computer simulator and declare a winner. It’s like crack, I can’t help myself. And they run marathons all the time!
Zane: You like Top Shot too. It’s pretty cool.
Ty: They got to use an 1877 Bulldog Gatling gun!
Zane, same question
Zane: I got the whole X-Files series from Netflix.
Do you often have to compromise on dinner choices or which house to stay at?
Ty: Zane’s apartment is crap, so no. And I’ll eat anything as long as it’s not Italian.
Zane: His bed is bigger.
Ty: And filled with awesome.
Zane: And yeah, he’ll eat anything–depending on his mood.
What’s the one thing that either of you can say or do that will always make the other laugh non-stop?
Ty: Every time he tries to be sexy. Never fails. Hi-larious!
Zane: Gee, thanks. I’ll make sure to laugh loud enough to get the team’s attention the next time you tip backwards out of your office chair. For about the fiftieth time.
Ty: It has a broken wheel!
Zane: It wouldn’t be broken if you wouldn’t treat it like a bean bag.
Ty: I’ll show you a bean bag when we get out of here.
Finally, Zane, you come from a previously wealthy background, and Ty, you are well traveled. If money, time, and location had no limits what would be your dream vacation together?
Zane: Let’s see. Big cities, mountains, cruise ships, and places with sand are out. What does that leave?
Ty: Nebraska.
Zane: There’s nothing there but corn.
Ty: You’d be there.
Zane: That’s sappy and I love it, baby.
Koaru
For Ty – Do you ever see yourself getting married to Zane?
Ty: I try not to picture the future because it never happens the way I see it going. But having said that; yes, I see myself being happy with Zane for the rest of my life.
And maybe getting a pet?
Ty: That picture is entirely unnecessary. Seriously? Who is the sadist in charge of this thing?!
Zane: If he got one? It would be a cat. Someone tell me how that makes sense!
Ty: It’s about respect, Zane. When something tries to eat you, it earns your respect! And they’re so cute when they’re little and fuzzy….
Zane: Thus the picture, I’m sure.
From Mari
Ty and Zane, do you have any advice for a rookie FBI agent?
Ty: Don’t get shot.
Zane: Watch out for your partner.
Ty: Make sure your partner doesn’t get shot.
Zane: Don’t shoot your partner. Unless he really deserves it. And then only a little.
What is the best cat joke you have heard so far?
Ty: Oh God. I don’t get jokes so much as puns, which is fan-fucking-tastic. They call me Meow Mix. They accuse me of letting the cat out of the bag. They call my mistakes “catastrophes.” It’s never-ending.
Zane: The kitty litter in your locker was funny.
Ty: Not from my end.
From Reggie
Zane– You mentioned that a situation with a case was your initial time with a guy and you decided you liked it. What is the story with that?
Zane: I was undercover, working in Miami in an operation to shut down a major drug smuggler from Colombia. Colombians party hard, and I was at an upscale hotel when several escorts showed up, both male and female. To be totally honest? I don’t really remember much about what led up to it or making the decision to do it. The drugs and drinks were both plentiful and free that night. I lucked out, obviously, had a good time, kept the guy’s number for awhile.
Ty: And I’m the one that takes heat for my sleeping habits.
Zane: Because everyone thinks you’re a tomcat. And you encourage it.
Ty: Cat joke.
Zane: Every chance I get.
Victoria
Ty, do you still need to sleep with a nightlight?
Ty: No. I can deal with darkness now, it’s just the idea of dark enclosed spaces that freak me right out.
Zane, how are you doing with your resolution to take better care of yourself?
Zane: Aside from my fuck-up on the cruise ship, pretty well, I think. Clean and sober, not even smoking. I’m going to AA when I can, at least once a week right now, maybe twice, depending on work. And I talk to Deuce at least that often, get sort of a reality check. I’m not going to lie and say it’s all easy, because it’s not. I fight it every day.
Ty, does Deuce really charge you for “talks” he has with Zane?
Ty: Yes! To make it ‘official’ for the Bureau paperwork. And the little shitface charges $200 an hour! We’ll see what I charge him when he needs someone to kill something for him….
Zane: He’d just call me instead.
From Pete
To Zane – Do you want to show Ty how skilled you are with your knife?
Ty: That’s a sex question, isn’t it? Sounds like a sex question.
Zane: I try not to think about comparing us like that, because the truth is he’d probably kick my ass and show me up, whether it’s knives, guns, or bare hands. I figure I can hold my own and then some, depending. Also, there’s just really no way to “show” someone how good you are with a knife without it getting bloody.
Niki
What did you guys want to be “when you grow up”?
Ty: I never wanted to be anything but a Marine. I would have settled for being a pro tight end.
Ty – Wave here – you do know what they say about tight ends, don’t you? :blush:
Ty: They say we’re used less than a wide receiver, but we take cleaner passes than a running back. We work well with the long snapper, we pull off the handoff without a hitch, and we can still sack the quarterback if we feel like it. What, more wordplay? Bring it! :ugly:
Ty, Wave again – Obviously a sore point. You didn’t have to get so shitty. Sheesh!!!.
Zane: I was steered in the direction of being a lawyer pretty much all my life. It never occurred to me to think any different until I was approached by the Bureau recruiter. I do remember wanting to be a rodeo rider when I was a kid.
Ty: He’s a natural-born rodeo clown.
Brian
Ty, if it hadn’t been for that life/death incident at the railing/the assignment in general, would you have told Zane the you loved him?
Ty: I would have eventually. That just hastened it along.
Zane, where do you keep the pendant you bought Ty?
Zane: In a dresser drawer at the apartment where he won’t find it by accident. I should probably move it somewhere safer. It’s ended up in my overnight bag a couple of times, wrapped up in a T-shirt.
Ty, do you still have the ring the bureau cut off your finger?
Ty: I do.
Ty, Zane is getting rid of drugs/alcohol/smoking, do you ever consider giving up your dangerous side jobs? Do you wish Zane would ask you to do so?
Ty: I don’t know if I wish he would because I do truly love them, but I did give them up for a time. I haven’t been called on one for a while. If he asked, I’m not sure how I’d handle it.
Who’s the better cook?
Ty: I am the better cook. But I hate cooking with fiery passion, so I guess we have to say Zane is the better cook.
Zane: Considering I’ve never seen you do anything but grill a steak, I’d say I cook better since I actually cook.
Ty: That’s what I just said.
And, if you knew the other would never find out, what would you honestly say is the one thing you miss most about the other person when you are apart?
Ty: I love the way he smells. I miss it when he’s gone.
Zane: His presence. It’s magnetic and tangible. He’s scarily quiet sometimes, but he’s always moving, tapping, twitching, shifting. It’s comforting, especially since I spent so many years alone, and miss it–and him–when he’s away.
Also from Aunt Lynn:
I also wonder if Ty plans to tell his parents soon.
Ty: I’d like to think I could do it, but I’m not sure I have the nerve to tell them the truth.
Christiana
Ty, do you ever think there will be a time when you will introduce Zane to your family properly? I mean as your lover and how do you feel your father especially will react?
Ty: The thought scares the living crap out of me, I try not to dwell on it.
Zane, what happened to make you become the black sheep of your family and will you ever introduce Ty to them and rebuild a closer relationship with them?
Zane: I wouldn’t call myself a black sheep. I’d say I’m more like a mustang. There was a specific plan for my life, and when I wouldn’t go along with it, it was like a minor nuclear holocaust. The fallout is still happening, though I’m in touch with my sister again. She knows about Ty as my partner at the Bureau, but that’s it for now. As for any more than that, I don’t know.
Do you and Zane have an equal relationship or as close as you possibly can with both your baggage or is there a dom/sub element involved and who is who?
Ty: I think we’re pretty equal. I have stretches where I wish he’d go all Dom on me, but I wouldn’t say it’s prevalent. Much.
Zane: I’ll have to remember you said that.
Ty: Write it down, baby.
Zane: Yeah, we’re pretty equal. Sometimes depends on who’s more stressed that day.
Where you both are in your relationship is it sometimes hard to separate who you are outside of work and who you are at work?
Ty: Not one bit.
Zane: No. I’ve been living that way for a long time.
What would you define your relationship as? e.g. friends with benefits or someone that you see yourself sharing your life with etc.
Ty: It’s definitely more than friends with benefits. Much more.
Zane: I agree.
Deuce did not seem to think that either of you really liked each other even though he knew Ty was in love. What would you say to that?
Ty: No one likes Zane. He’s a dick.
Zane: Good thing you’re an ass, then, huh?
Ty: Wow. That one? Again? Can’t think of a new one?
Zane: Classics never go out of style.
Ty: That’s what you said about ‘walking shorts’.
Ty will you ever ask Zane to move in or are you both happy with the current arrangements or is this type of decision dependent on certain factors? Such as work, family etc.
Ty: I don’t know. Right now we’re still figuring out the yours vs. ours parts of life. I think until we get that down, there’s no next step.
Sagajo
Zane: What caused the rift with your family? Did it happened because you chose to be an FBI agent or because of your wife or something else?
Zane: All of the above and a huge dose of blind single-mindedness. Not mine–theirs.
Ty: Blind single-mindedness… like that doesn’t describe you perfectly.
Zane: Where do you think I got it?
Zane, Give that present to Ty!
Ty: What the hell present are they talking about?!
Zane: You’ll find out. Eventually.
Issa
Ty, in Sticks & Stones it was alluded to that you did not like it when Zane got too close to you “down there.” Are your really uncomfortable with receiving BJs?
Ty: Nooooo. I know that Zane has never tried it, so when he gets experimental it makes me tense for him. Probably silly, but… I don’t know. Let’s just say I am more accustomed to the role of the top and both of us are in new territory sometimes.
Ty, in Fish and Chips, during the question and answer session, you were thinking of a question you wanted to ask Zane, but chickened out because you were afraid of the answer. Any hints on what you were thinking of asking?
Ty: Until Zane asks me to tell him, my lips are sealed.
Ty, why do you not have much respect for alcoholism or addictions in general?
Ty: I have a great deal of respect for the battle. Zane misunderstood my initial sarcasm when referring to the term ‘recovering alcoholic’ because I know no one ever recovers. It’s a battle an addict fights every day, and if I know anything, it’s about battling.
Zane, if Ty hadn’t had that heart to heart with you in the brig of the cruise ship, would you have decided to go to AA and otherwise take care of yourself?
Zane: That was decided the morning I woke up after the dunking. After Ty made that effort, I knew I’d do whatever it takes not to disappoint him again.
Zane, have you pulled out the grill and had a BBQ in the back yet?
Zane: Oh yeah. My place and Ty’s. Burgers, brats, baked beans, and beer. Ty drinks the beer, of course.
Ty: You say that with tone. Put your bitchface away.
Zane: Mike’s Hard Lemonade didn’t rhyme.
Ty: …what rhymed in that to start with?
Zane, where did your love of motorcycles come from?
Zane: Horseback riding in Miami is impractical. It’s also a hell of a rush and makes for a quick getaway.
Ty: A quick, kill you dead getaway.
Zane: Like I’ve said, I’m not giving up the Valkyrie. Would you give up your Bronco?
Ty: Leave her out of this, Zane.
Wave: Thanks guys. I really appreciate all the time you took out of your tight schedule to answer your fans’ questions. No Ty, that was not a play on words re “tight end.” Are you still pissed at me about that tight end joke? You shouldn’t hold grudges. :nuts: Looking forward to seeing you in Divide & Conquer.
Ty: You can thank the Bureau and their freaking PR department. I think our fans see too much of us as it is. We’re full frontal in these things!
Zane: Don’t worry, baby. I’ve got your back.
Ty: Shut up, Zane. I thought this was supposed to be something to do on our day off, I feel like I’ve done more work on this stupid interview than when I watch you fill out forms all day! And what is up with the uber-personal questions?!
Zane: Someone get him some Gummi worms or Cheetos or something.
Ty: They’re asking sex questions! Do we have to do this every time one of these freaking books comes out? I’d rather be shot at!
Zane: He’s okay, we’re just going to take a little timeout and he’ll be fine.
And that’s a wrap. :whip: :curse:
Despite being such a grouch, Ty says he would be prepared to answer follow-up questions from the fans — if Zane would let him — just don’t ask any more about his sex life. :blush: :tease: Zane says that he doesn’t have any conditions if you wish to talk to him about horse riding. 😀 So apparently you now have carte blanche.
Divide & Conquer will be released on Friday, October 14.
:biglove:
Awesome!!
Thank you so much 😎
Zane cooks! That is just perfect. Really 🙂
Why, thank you, ma’am.
Ma’am. Who are you trying to impress?
It’s called manners. I know your mama taught you some.
Thanks Guys! Nick? I don’t remember Nick.
Nick is… a Recon Marine… who is placed nowhere near the question about whether I’ve screwed any Marines….
They probably don’t realize they’ve already sort of met him. Kind of. By extension.
Oooh, was he the one who called after Ty got blown up in C&R? I’m trying to remember other references to Recon buddies in the periphery…
Oh, nevermind, I see that it was answered further down the line…and I was right!
Great interview Wave…thanks Ty and Zane!
Since you guys got me up early….I want to hear more about the Marine and the SAS guy, Ty! I want details please :sex4:
Oh God, it’s you again….
😆
I know you want to tell me! Was it only one time with them, did you have a relationship with either of them?
Yes I’m nosey. 😉
Ugh…
If you mean relationship in the romantic sense, no. Let’s just call them social intercourse, okay?
The Marine (and no you can’t have his name or freaking measurement!) was more a matter of right time, right place. The SAS guy… was just really fucking hot….
Thank-you, you are truly the best!
Did you want a romantic relationship with SAS guy?
Err… let’s save those questions for when Zane has to go, okay?
Your replies will still be here when I get back, you know.
Yes. But I won’t be.
Okay, he’s gone.
The answer to that is no. But he was a PHENOMENAL lay.
I love you! Thanks for answering such personal questions.
I’m back and I see that. I figure the more you enjoyed then, the better for me now.
Everyone’s got to go through the minors to get to the big leagues, baby.
I second that. Details, please! I bet that Zane wants to hear them too. 😉
I’ll pass, actually.
Zane, there are moments that you are very aware of the depth of your feelings for Ty then a few days later you are still pondering the question of whether or not it is just sex.
Why won’t you throw the poor guy a bone? or a present?
He gets bones all the time!
What, no boner joke Ty?
You must have me mistaken for the one who has to sink to puns in order to be funny.
Yeah, what Jamie said!
I bet Zane will be very jealous when he hears this
Zane’s a big boy, he can take it.
Doesn’t mean I have to like it. It was in the past. I’m trying to focus more on the present.
I’m sorry Zane, yes the present is good you and Ty are hot together but….. do you want to share any details on your sexual past?
Ty’s not really interested in the past, and I’m okay with that.
So have you guys every talked about past relationships/sexual encounters?
Only in vague terms. We’re usually… busy.
Rodeo rider Zane? Do you see yourself doing with Ty when you guys retire from the Bureau? 🙂
Retire? I’ve not thought about it.
Why is it an automatic that you guys would be separated if the FBI knew about your relationship? Doesn’t it make you guys a better team?
We think it makes us a better team. And it’s not an automatic; there is no FBI policy against dating other agents or employees.
that having been said, they don’t like to have team members date because it screws with the team dynamics, distracts people, and can lead to trouble. In the end they make decisions based on individual circumstances. I just don’t think they’d let us stay together if they found out.
That surprises me because everyone says you are so difficult to partner with but with Zane it seems obvious you make a great team. Why mess with what works
They say I’m difficult to partner with?! What the hell?
Apparently I’m a saint with endless patience.
You’ve got endless something.
I wondered if the *difficult* happens after Ty’s ex-recon partner got shot. Or was it a problem until they paired up and then return after he gone solo again.
Either way, I am sure Ty’s colleague now breathe easy that Zane is his partner. Save them from having to partner with Ty. 😀
Love it 😀 Thank you for including my question.
To Zane: Will you eventually tell Ty that you love him very very much? That you would probably gone to pieces without him around to anchor you?
To Zane: How come you like to be packing all the time whether it’s combat knife, gun, Garrot, stiletto, throwing stars? Was it habit from working undercover?
To Zane: Have you reconsider going down on Ty (give him blowjob) since when you were in the mountain?
To Both: what are you guys favorite positions with each other in bed?
My freaking partner has left the building. He’ll be back shortly to answer your very awkward sex questions.
The last question is for you too Ty 😛 Care to answer? 😎
Not… no. But it’ll be really fun to watch Zane blush when he gets back, so I will.
My favorite position in bed is lying on our sides, one of us facing away. Doesn’t matter who’s doing what, and I don’t know why. I just love it.
I’m fond of that too, because I can hold him close. My favorite position is any way I can watch his eyes.
Zane you can still answer my second question 😛 It’s about your packing habit.
I’ve proven more than once that I’m willing to die for him, and I’ve proven more than once, unfortunately, that I’d probably fall apart without him. I try not to think about either scenario, to be honest.
Yes, I still feel most comfortable carrying, including the knives. Habits of any kind are hard for me to break.
Reconsidered? No. Thought about trying again? Yes.
Pete, you’re gonna make Ty run with all the sex questions! 😀
They were just two questions :p Albeit, cut to the chase questions 😛
Thanks Pete, see I’m not the only pervert of the group!
I want to know the blowjob and positions question too :sex2:
Thanks for a great interview!
Zane, you need to take Ty out horseback riding! It would be hilarious…
I think Ty would rather save a horse and ride Zane all night long. 😀
lol….have we gotten that yet?
You haven’t, but I have. HA!
I can’t remember.
But I wouldn’t mind watching/reading Ty ride Zane again and again.
He won’t ride the Valkyrie with me, so I kind of doubt he’d go for a horseback ride. It’s not come up, though, so he might surprise me. That still happens a lot.
Come on Ty who’s Nick, or did you Zane get your first taste for Marine with him
Nick was in my Recon team. He’s my best friend.
Best friends with benefits? :hug:
Dude! I told you about the smoking hot SAS guy, what more do you want from me!?
Is Nick the one who called you all worried about the car bomb incident in NYC
Yes, that’s him.
I have to read this series–I know–it’s true, I’ve been living in a hole!!
Great interview–funny!
Yes you do Sammy! They are great books and fantastic characters.
Sammy
You’re missing out on an incredible series. I highly recommend it. 😀 I had to be dragged, kicking and screaming, to read the first book Cut and Run because it was so l-o-n-g (almost 400 pages), and I like them short (books – not guys) 😆 but once started I couldn’t stop. This series is like your best addiction EVER. :blush:
…and remember the first two books, so far, are out in audio format too. My coworkers always walk in my desk at odd moments in the story, their jaws drop, and they walk out.
I do highly recommend this series. The guys will make you laughs, gasps, moans, cries, signs, and grins all through their trials and tribulations.
Be warned though, start it early in the day so you will have to finish before you realize that ‘Crap! it’s 3am and I have to wake up to go to work at 6am’
What have you been waiting for?? Run over to DSP RIGHT NOW and grab them up. Long reads, totally worth it. You won’t be sorry.
Thanks for the details, guys!
Zane I was pretty impressed when you made the first move on Ty back in C&R. Didn’t seem like he gave you much indication that he would be receptive. Were there hints you saw that I didn’t pick up on?
It was equal parts tension from both of us and sheer desperation on my part, because something had to give. I was equally as ready for him to punch me.
To both: Will you two celebrate any anniversary of sort for being together? What day would you guys prefer? The very first day when you two met, the second time when you reunited, or the time when you were both paired as permanent partner?
To Ty: The side-job that you went to when Zane was still in hospital after dragging you out from the tunnel, you mention that it was unfinished business. Did you got pulled out of that job before you finish to partner with Zane that’s why you have to return to finish it?
To Ty: You were surprise that Zane was able to kiss without remorse, why were you surprise? Despite being a civilian agent, Zane has been with the FBI for many years, why do you think he would have problem killing people to protect you? After all, you have your share of assassination assignment right?
It takes a certain type of person to kill and not look back, even if the person is perceived to have deserved it. Not necessarily a bad person, understand. There’s just something hard that forms inside them, and there’s usually a reason it formed there. I didn’t realize Zane had that in him.
I’m thankful for every day with him, not just an arbitrary anniversary.
Ok here is one for Ty… When you first met Zane, he seemed like such a mess, struggling with memories and drug addictions, and I guess a general lack of will to live?
What made you go for him? It could have been such a disaster! Is he really that pretty? 😎
I always thought Zane has the rugged Marlboro man’s good looks. That would be more handsome than pretty, no?
Maybe he smells THAT good?
I am drawn to disasters like a toddler to a power outlet.
To Zane: If you had not had prior experience with men, do you think you would have been attracted to Ty?
I think it was inevitable. I may not have recognized it, though.
Ty-Have you told Zane about the side jobs or does he just know you go off without him?
HOW DO YOU PEOPLE KNOW ABOUT THOSE?!
Here, gummibears.
Oh, nicely played.
Ty-What’s so special about your junker Bronco? What is it-like 20 years old?
I have the inherent need to fix things. Also, I love old, broken down things… like Zane for instance.
Ha ha freakin’ ha.
Ty, I want to know more of the incident that led to your discharge from the army. Sensitive mission? Did Nick get discharge at the same time?
Yes, he did. And with all due respect to the Army, I was a Marine. The rest is classified.
Ty, I like your tattoo! Did it hurt getting it and would you ever get another one?
It didn’t hurt any more than any other needle. Tattoos are more like a nick by a razor than anything else, they sting but not too bad.
I’ve been eyeing another one. I really like the line of text on the underside of the arm.
That would be sexy…what words would you put there?
How about something like “T&Z forever”
Okay, that made me spit water everywhere.
‘Not all those who wander are lost.’ It’s Tolkien from Lord of the Rings, and while I can’t admit to having ever read the entire book, the first part of that poem really hits home for me.
I suppose that rings true…
You had wandered, a lot, through many territories that many of us would cringe, and now you found Zane, the one that Eros (Madeleine and Abigail) sent for you.
To Both: Who initiate cuddle more? Ty or Zane? Though I think both appreciate getting cuddled equally.
To Zane: Do you have a knife collection? What is your favorite knife?
To Ty: I presumed that you have had knife fight training during your Marine service. Would you be interested in knife sparring match with Zane?
I think I might be the cuddler.
If we sparred with knives, they would be toys or props. Sparring with real knives is a good way to accidentally cut an artery.
Yes I was thinking of wooden knife or fake knife.
But my question was, were you interested or perhaps curious as to how good Zane’s knife fighting skill is.
He only throw them so far.
It would be an interesting exercise. I think it’s fair to say that he’d beat me. Anyone who wears them on his wrists all the time is a little too attached to his pointy things, if you know what I mean.
I wouldn’t call it a collection, because they’re all working knives. I’m fond of my Guardian Back Up. High carbon steel is the way to go. My throwing knives are simple Trademarks, about six inches.
Awesome guys, can’t wait for D&C!
Be safe!
You guys grow on people, we’d hate to have something happen to either of you.
😀 😀 😀
😀 Brilliant interview, thanks guys for giving us a part of your day off.
Looking forwards t6o hearing about your next adventure.
See, we don’t call them adventures. We just call them ‘tomorrow’.
Is Deuce going to be coming around more. Has he gotten close to Zane? How do you feel about Zane having a direct line to your childhood stories?
Deuce is always around. And nothing he can tell Zane will embarrass me. I shot the oven with a BB gun. I got stuck in quick sand and had to be pulled out by my brother and cousins with a tree branch. We drank water out of a cow stream and didn’t die. We accidentally burned down an abandoned shed in the hills that was used to store marijuana and got all the firemen high when they came to put it out….
So Burns’ fear of mushroom cloud over the mountain was not unwarranted then…
Some things you do in your youth will never be forgiven. I never did get that BB gun back.
Deuce is a great guy. I talk to him about once a week.
Ty
I heard that you’re still pissed at me about the “tight end” comment. You shouldn’t play in the big leagues if you can’t take the hits. :whip:
You haven’t seen me pissy, honey.
awwww!
awesome, thank you!
-kkm
Zane:
Do you think that part of your issues with dealing with your wife’s memories is that you really could not be honest with yourself and the world with who you are and that you feel guilty for being so happy with Ty?
Ty:
Don’t give up on asking Zane about the present! Trust me when I say that when he gives it to you the significance of it will mean everything to you (and yes everyone but you knows what the present is)!
I don’t have a problem with who I am or that I was married but now have Ty as a lover. I don’t care what people think of me personally. But dealing with memories of losing someone close to you is hard for everyone.
No but I do get the feeling that you are diverting the past a little. Come on now that sounded a little to much like an answer to a question you’ve been practicing at. At the moment, I don’t doubt for a minute that you were totally in love and felt it was the right thing to do at the time. But how much of that whole time in your life was done out of a feeling of family obligation versus a choice for self… I mean you said your self that not doing what the family expected of you caused a nuclear meltdown Maybe we should give deuce a call and see what he thinks.
To Zane: Do you read romance novel? Particularly Gay Romance novel?
… there are gay romance novels? I stick to spy thrillers, mostly.
Josh Lanyon write gay spy thrillers and Mysteries novels. I think you will enjoy them very much. *cuinlove:
Zane any hard feeling about being used as a human shield, and do you have plans to pay back Ty for that move?
Ohhh he’s paid for that trick several times over, believe me.
And he enjoyed it. Immensely.
Are you guys on any big cases right now?
Our cases are always big, darlin.
(See how that’s done, Zane? Take note.)
Since you can’t see it, I’ll tell you I’m rolling my eyes.
He is Rico Suave.
Ty, what did you think of Zane winning 500K on poker when you were undercover last time?
I was floored. And still trying to convince him to go to Vegas with me.
I think you need to make a deal with him. Promise to go on a horse-riding treck with him, if he goes to Vegas with you.
Hell, just offer him a BJ and he will be dragging you to Vegas.
You should listen to this one, baby. I like that suggestion.
I will blow you from here to Sunday if you don’t make me get on a horse, how about that?
Ty with “don’t ask don’t tell” gone would you feel ok comeing out at work and to your military buddies, and are you really sure Director Burns is clueless about you two? Because I don’t think he is.
I don’t know if ‘ok’ would be the best way to describe it. I’ve wanted to for years, because it’s really lying to your best friends, people who depended on me with their lives. I think in the long run, it would do me a lot of good to come out.
Burns is clueless… why, what have you heard?
Well, he certainly smirks at you two a lot. Like he knows a secret 😀
That’s because he likes to torture us.
because Duce talks to Burns behind your back about the two of you.
He would never…
Somehow I think that we might get to read about Nick in D&C.
Ty, do your friends, such as Nick, know about you and Zane or do they at least know you like guys as more than just buddies?
Perhaps the more direct question would be: Who knows that Ty & Zane are almost married couple beside Deuce?
No. Deuce is the only person who knows.
Well. Deuce and anyone I’ve been screwing….
Do you or Zane have any bad habits like not changing the toilet paper when it’s empty, putting an empty container back in the fridge, leaving the cap off the toothpaste or leaving dirty underwear lying around?
I’m actually pretty neat. It’s either too many years in the Marines or a little bit of OCD (or both, most likely.)
I guess that is my bad habit. I have to have things at right corners, like fixing crooked picture frames, straightening stuff on the counter top. Rugs on a hardwood floor are my worst nightmare. There are lines to match up, but then it doesn’t hit the furniture right, and if you don’t nail them down they run… awful.
OMG, I am the same way….but I’m not fictional 😮
Are you really sure?
oh my, that was the question I asked too a bit further down… I guess I was still typing when you put yours up, damn 😀
Although when I think about it, maybe it’s a bit different since I asked about habits they like/don’t like about each other *phew*
Ty, would you ever want to meet Zane’s family and I know you don’t talk about your relationship with your father but how do feel about how that whole camping trip went down?
The way Zane talks about his family, I’m not sure I would want to meet them.
That camping trip was unpleasant, but in the end it felt a little like we came to an understanding.
Ty, did you enjoy the freedom of being able to be affectionate with Zane in public on the cruise?
Very much so. Although, it was bittersweet, knowing how much will have to change in order for us to have that for real.
By ‘how much will have to change’, did you means the usual bigots and homophobes?
From what I know so far, Zane have no problem being affectionate with you in public, you forbid Zane to do so when you first set boundaries at the staring of your relationship.
I mean personally and professionally. Once we both retire we’ll be free to be with each other however we want.
Ty, are you ever tempted by women these days?
That depends on what you mean tempted. I think women are beautiful.
Ty, which foreign language is your favourite?
My favorite to speak is French. I only know the two. My favorite to listen to is German. It’s not what you’d call a beautiful language, but I love love love to hear a German get all worked up and start cussing! Love it!
He likes to listen to me speaking Spanish.
That’s true. But that has more to do with Zane than the language.
Amazing interview. Thanks so much for taking the time and answering the questions.
A question to you both: Is there a bad habit Ty/Zane has that you can’t stand, that gets on your nerves or that you fight over? And which habit of the other do you like the most?
Zane feels sorry for himself too easily. But then I smack him and it’s all good.
Ty has this absolutely remarkable and incredibly frustrating ability to shrug things off and go on with his life. I envy that sometimes.
As for what I like, I watch him in his OCD fits sometimes. It’s hypnotic, in a way. And oddly comforting.
To Both: Any particular songs that reminded you guys of each other? Which song that both of you think is best to describe one another?
Every song I hear reminds me of Zane.
Aww… that is so sweet and so unlike the image you create for the others to see.
Would you like to show this sweet to Zane more often?
I show him as often as I’m able.
It’s stunning every time.
Zane, you’re killing us 🙂 You’re being so sweet.
Not really. He listens to such a wide variety, I really couldn’t pin him down.
I suppose you have pinned him down, or against the wall, or any flat surfaces several times already.
To Ty: When you told Zane that you cry during Bambi, was that true or were you just messing with him?? So cute!!
Who doesn’t cry during Bambi!? Come on!
Ty – How do you feel about your aversion to your drugs? I have to admit I kinda like that they make you all sweet.
I’m always sweet. It’s inconvenient, to say the least. But knowing that I react like I do to most mind-altering chemicals probably saved me from going down the road Zane traveled.
What happen the first time that made you realize that you have weird reaction to drugs?
And on that note: Will you finally show Zane how you are a goofy drunk?
He’ll see it eventually.
When I was little things like Tylenol would always make me sick or wired, things it wasn’t supposed to do. We figured out what worked and what I should stay away from, what I was allergic to.
To Ty: What would you have got as Zane’s birthday present when his next Birthday come?
I’m not telling.
I know some don’t like labels but what do you guys consider yourselves…bi-sexual or gay?
I would call myself bisexual. No doubt.
If you don’t mind my asking when was the first time you hooked up with a guy?
High School. Senior year.
Ty, do you have any regrets? In your life in general?
Some. But I don’t regret where I am now, and I wouldn’t be here if I hadn’t chosen all the paths I did.
Hey where did Zane go? I’ve got some for him! Ty, hobbies? Aside from shooting things, that is.
I run every morning.
I also like to compete, so anything that allows that. Rec leagues; basketball, softball, football, volleyball, billiards, paintball.
Ask away. I don’t promise to answer, though.
Do tell! Please, please!!….:)
You’ll hear all about it.
Would you ever play some music for Zane with a guitar, banjo or something? Will you sing? Oh….. can you even sing? lol 😀
I love the guitar. And singing.
I’ve never really thought about quantifying it. Bisexual in practice, I guess.
Zane, you’re back! Hey, question. Wouldn’t you love it if Ty sang to you while playing guitar? SO romantic!
Yeah, I would love that. You have no idea how seductive his voice can be.
Ty, you heard the man! Find a guitar and get on with it! He’ll be putty in your hands!
Oh, Zane? At some point, Ty thinks that you don’t really need to be seduced to.. well, get it on. So, tell me, is that true? Or would you occasionally like to be wooed?
I don’t need seduction, but that doesn’t mean I wouldn’t enjoy it. Ty can be very persuasive.
Zane, I have a question that might be a little hard. How does it feel to know that Ty loves you and you can’t say it back? And when he told you? Is it weird? Is it nice?
Zane? Pleaseeee?
I think you might have to wait for that one too, honey.
Anything you CAN tell us? The intrigue is going to kill meeee!!!
I’m still dealing with the shock. I never expected to be worthy of it. It’s an indescribable feeling that cuts both ways.
See Ty?? He did answer! (I’m sticking my tongue out at you)
Wait, cut both ways? What do you mean by that, Zane?
Zane? …… 🙁
Ty, we are bothering you with all of our questions but though I almost dread what you might come up with (though I love you), do you have a question for us?
Yeah, okay, I have a question.
Why do you people like us so much!? I’m not even nice to any of you!
We like you because you rock! Hey you said so yourself more than once. You make me laugh! Oh, and can I say how much I love Clue? Best movie everrrr!!!
For me it’s because you love Zane. You, who never loved another person outside his family, fell hard for a broken man who would do anything and everything to make you happy and protect you with his life.
What’s not to like?
Okay, can I change my answer to that too? Nicely put, Pete!
Thank you mikaela 😎
🙂
I don’t even know how to articulate it except to say that I like, nay love, you guys because of your ridiculous realness and your ability to come together to create something awesome despite, and sometimes because of, the craziness around you and inside you.
How can we not like you guys???? You both have your flaws but each have hearts that when brought together are AMAZING. As a gay man I have to say that if someone combined the both of you into one you would be the perfect man flaws and all
Ty, what would you do if you had time off? And I don’t mean going to Nebraska. I mean, you don’t read, so…. movies? Football?
Football, baseball, college basketball. I enjoy movies, but I usually wait for them to come out on DVD instead of going to see them in a theater. I like hiking and camping, and just walking away and wandering now and then.
And I do like to read, but I rarely have time to give a book the attention it deserves.
Oh, Ty! Do you have any regrets? In you your life in general?
That was grand fun :biglove: So the countdown is like 9 days now?
I’m a bit curious when we’re going to see some on-screen interaction with Zane’s family.
I don’t have much contact with my family anymore. I talk to my sister every couple of weeks or so. My dad occasionally.
Eight days! … :reading1:
If Zane is still around, what kind of work did you do at the FBI before your wife passed away? Mostly undercover or something else? Where were you stationed?
I worked in the Dallas field office, but being bilingual, I got sent out on assignment a lot. Not really any undercover work. That came later.
Do your family speak spanish, or is that something you learned as an adult?
Family, yes, and hands on the ranch. So I grew up with it. Granddaddy used Spanish more often than not, though I think he did that more to annoy my mom than anything.
I guess granddad is no longer around? Were you close when you grew up?
Yeah, we were close. He died a couple of years after Becky.
Did he and Becky get along?
Yeah, really well.
To Zane: Would you speak some Spanish to Ty? Like ‘mi tesoro’ or ‘mi amor’? Or perhaps ‘comida para gatos’? 👿
Hey, I may not speak Spanish but I know enough of it to understand the gatos part bitch.
Ty, will you ever sing something for Zane? He already said he would love it!! Please!
Oh! You teaser :))
To Ty: Where and when did you learn to Tango? Would you like to dance Tango with Zane?
In Argentina, men do dance Tango together
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eomGV4buJzM
That was a very cool video!
I’d do anything with Zane that he wanted. I learned to tango when I was in the Marine Corps. Sounds odd, I know, but we had down time in weird places!
Ty, you told Zane you love him on the cruise ship. Do you say it now sometimes? Or is it too hard since he hasn’t said it back yet?
Wow! Yeah, Ty, please do tell!
You’ll have to wait for that one.
The thing that I wish Zane would say to Ty’s Dad in the hospital
“Who’s the coward now, Ty who braved the armed men barehanded or you who is a Vietnam vet and yet would not hug your son tight, tell him that you love him and that you are proud of him.”
Zane, te quiero tanto! You’re back! Can you tell me one thing I don’t know about you?
When I was little, I had a cat named Daredevil.
Zane, do you think you will be able to get Ty out to any clubs so you can dance together?
Maybe when we go out of town sometime.
To Both: What are you guys’ favorite clothes you saw each other wore so far? Any fantasy clothes that you want to see each other in?
Oh, I want to know the answer to THAT question!!!
We see each other in suits all the time (which are nice) but I really really love Zane in one of my western style flannel shirts and jeans. As for fantasy clothes? I don’t know… most of my fantasies about Zane don’t involve clothing.
Great answer! 😀 Ty, any questions for the mob of fans?
Ty has this particular blue suit I really like. He is absolutely a knockout in it. There’s also something to be said for him in sweaty workout gear.
Zane, describe your prefect day!
Same for you, Ty!!
A football game with Zane.
Go out to the stadium or wrapped up in blankets in front of the TV with gummibears and beer?
Stadium, all the way. Pre-game baby!
No work, no stress, Ty, cheesecake, and a gorgeous sunset.
Damn, you’re like night and day! Opposites attract, i guess… lol 😀
Who is usually the bigger spoon in bed? :flirt:
Zane wraps around me just like he does his pillow.
Do you still bury yourself in a cocoon of blankets and stick your head under the pillow? Or do you do that only when Zane isn’t there with you?
I just burrow under Zane when he’s there.
He does. Really.
I could see a football game fitting into my perfect day, no problem.
Sometimes I surprised you two can keep your relationship secret from everyone. Don’t either of you have any friends? Close acquaintances? A nosy neighbor the checks occasionally to make sure no one is dead and there who could stink up her place?
No one thinks it odd for us to spend time together. And our jobs isolate us to some degree by necessity, so with that and a little luck we’re doing okay.
Ty’s much more social than I am. I’m just as happy to sit at home with a book and football on the TV.
Ty, are you finished with the paperwork for throwing Zane’s gun in New York or did you make Zane finish it?
Apparently, so few agents actually use their guns as projectiles that the paper pushers don’t know how to do the paperwork for that.
I think they ended up writing it off because of the wreck.
To Zane: If you were to give Ty massage, which scent would you choose?
If Ty would return the favor, which scent would choose?
Unscented. Ty and Old Spice are exactly what I want.
If both of you could work anywhere, where would you choose? (I guess not Miami nor New York, and definitely neither Texas nor West Virginia)
I loved New Orleans. I also really like the Northwest; Oregon and Washington State. If I had to pick, though, I’d say the south of France.
I know it sounds sappy as hell, but I don’t care where, as long as Ty’s there.
After that, (what Zane said oh so sweetly), how can you think he doesn’t love you? Dork.
Zane, what was going through your mind when Ty was dunking you in the pool to sober you up?
“He’s gonna kill me, and not even with a gun? Damn!”
Anger, surprise, and then desperation, both to breathe and to figure out how to apologize and make it up to him. It was crushing to know I’d put him in danger.
To Ty: Did you join FBI right after your discharge from the Marine? Or do you have some downtime in between? What was your plan before you were recruited?
There were a few months in between. I didn’t have a plan. I had intended to be a Marine for my entire life, I was completely lost when I was discharged. I’m still not really sure what I would have done.
Zane-tell us about being undercover. Did you have to portray a drug dealer? How did you function being so doused in alcohol and drugs?
I was detached to a joint task force with the DEA in Miami because of my Spanish. That’s what got me the undercover job. Drugs in Miami are big business, and once you’re hooked, you learn to function because there’s no going back.
So you could ride your motorcycle and such even though you were high?
I did a lot of things back then that I’d never do now.
Favorite ice-cream flavor? Lame question, I know!
My favorite is Lime Sherbert.
I prefer butter pecan.
if you guys were outed as being a couple at work, would you lie about it in order to remain partners or just come clean?
Wow. I don’t know. A job I love and consider part of my very being versus telling the truth about being in love with someone who deserves the truth. I don’t think I can answer that.
I’m hesitant to answer, because there’s so many variables, including what Ty wants. But I would really NOT want to lie.
To Zane: Will you show Ty that you still kept the ring?
To Ty: Will you also show him that you still kept your cut ring as well?
To Ty: Now that Zane quit smoking, does he taste better when you kissed him?
To Ty: Will you ever share your cuban cigar with Zane?
To both, adding to Pete: will you someday fix Ty’s and wear them again? Meaning, if you were ever to be married (I think someone already asked that), would you use the same rings you wore on the ship for sentimentality or get new ones to start over?
I’m not sure I’d consider those rings “ours.” They were Corbin and Del’s.
Sure, they were Del’s and Corbin’s. But they meant something to you, didn’t they? That’s what i meant. 🙂
Or what Pete meant. Right? 😀
I think eventually I’ll show Zane everything I have to give him if he lets me.
Very, very vague, Ty! It’s okay, we still love you! Now tell me, if you had a cat, what would you call it?
Zane does taste better without the cigarettes. Smells better too. I might share with him…. eventually.
(apologies if this has already been asked, I don’t remember seeing it)
Have you guys made any plans – or at least talked about – actually moving in together? Or would the fact that it would be harder to hide your relationship hold you back from that?
I think that was in the original interview. But the short answer is that we don’t like to get too far ahead of ourselves.
Are any of you into strawberries covered in chocolate, whipped cream?? 😉
Do you guys like kids, do you think you will have any some day?
I love kids. Not sure if I’d be a good candidate to raise them.
If you ever feel ready for kids, you would want them with Zane, RIGHT? 🙂
I’ve never really been around kids, so I couldn’t say.
What would be a fantasy date night for both you?
See the perfect day answer.
Thanks for answering my questions in the original interview! Nebraska & Clue, huh? Well, I LOVE Clue and if you like that I think you’d both really love “Noises Off” with Michael Caine, Carol Burnett, & John Ritter.
And more Clue: “What’s this? Another door?”
http://youtu.be/9irYnrPgekA
Oh, and since Jaime, Lori, Hellen, and Sagajo know I’d ask this I’ll ask a couple more.
To both: Can you name one slow song and one fast song you danced to that night at the nightclub?
Ty: what is your favorite physical aspect of Zane? We know he’s always talking about your ass,lips, and eyes.
To both: is it normal for agents to switch “roles” often in the bureau? For instance, PR work, undercover, major case…
I was too focused on Ty to remember any specific music.
Yes, it’s fairly normal to have a variety of assignments within your division, although some people specialize more than others.
Zane, any questions you would like to ask? We’ve been killing you guys! lol 😀
Not really. It just astounds me that you all are so interested.
There were no slow songs at the club. One fast song that I remember was Supermassive Black Hole by Muse.
This might sound odd, but my favorite physical aspect of Zane is his back. The characters of the scars, the movement of the muscles.
To Both: Have you ever participate in a threesome?
…..yes I have.
Yeah, been there, done that.
Were the participants in your threesome male or female?
Damnit, I thought you were gone!
Nope! So who was your threesome with?
She’s tenacious and asks lots of questions…don’t you think she’d be a great part of a team on a mission? Well, assuming she could keep her mind out of your bed, that is. 😆
Zane-why are you afraid of heights?
It’s not heights, per se. I can appreciate a nice view. I’m even mostly okay if I’m hooked up to something, like rappeling. It’s the FALLING that gets me. Once I did the parachute jump at the Academy, I was DONE.
I can relate to that completely. It took several tries on 2 different days, nearly hyperventilating trying to walk up a couple steps to a 3 ft wide rock slab and get around a slight V- turn hiking one day. I could see straight down roughly 8000 ft 180 degrees around it. Totally with you on that.
(But I’d like to try parachuting–:) )
To WAVE-what is the record for # of comments? LOL
I think we tired them out…. :thinker:
Okay guys, while this has been about as much fun as chewing light bulbs, I’m afraid I have to go for a while. I’ll be back tonight to answer any leftovers!
Grady out.
Zane, still around? tell me, favorite pizza toppings?
You all are crazy, you know that?
Anything on pizza but fish works for me. I’m pretty easy for the most part. And yeah, I expect Ty to latch on to that one.
To Both: Do you prefer each other with clean shaven or with stubble or perhaps full on facial hair?
I prefer Ty scruffy. Although he does clean up very well when he wants to.
Zane if you would describe your mom and dad with 2-3 words, what would they be?
Stubborn, stubborn, and stubborn.
Lol, pretty much like you, you mean?
Zane what makes you the most crazy about Ty? And I mean in a good way 🙂
When we’re close, physically, it’s electric. I swear I can hold my hand over his skin and feel the energy coursing through him and then somehow into me. Talk about addictive.
How much did it suck to work with the financial/computer department in FBI?
I cannot begin to describe how bad it was.
Ty says you get jealous. Is that true?
We have an ongoing debate about the difference between possessiveness and jealousy. I don’t think I’m particularly jealous. He may disagree.
Zane, I hope this question is not too difficult… but what did Becky do for a living? Did you guys live at the ranch?
I’d really rather not talk about it. Ty’s trying to get me to live in the now.
Sure, no problem.
Since you two spend so much time together, I assume you store some of your stuff at each others places. So, what, have you each assigned official drawers to each other?
The more I think about it, the more I can see Ty completely messing with Zane’s stuff for giggles 🙂
Zane- Do you have any other sibling apart from your sister? And if you do, why don’t you talk with them?
Just one sister. I think I’ve mentioned in the past that my brother-in-law is a Marine.
What kind of a ranch did you grow up on? Beef cattle? Horse?
Horse. My love of riding came honest.
Zane, I want to know if Ty was not there to tell you he loved you, would you have been able to jump over the railing on the ship?
It’s been great facing the Inquis… uh, answering the friendly questions. I’ll be back in a couple of hours.
Zane, can tell us what your ethnic background is? I’ve always thought you were part Hispanic?
Do people often tell you that you look like Joe Manganiello, known for playing Alcide on True Blood? 😉
Zane- Who will inherit the ranch? Is your brother-in-law or your sister work in there now? What your sister works as?
Zane, I have a question. When you shot the guy who was about to shoot Ty on the back, what went through your head? I mean, did you see Ty dying in your head or was it just a blank wall (reflex)?
oh, also…I’m curious. How is it going (F&C reference) “trying that shit on land?” Do you guys eat out more often or do more stuff out in public lately?
Ty: I’m curious about your relationship with your dad. Is there something specific that instilled your fear of him that you seem to have and what is his attitude towards homosexuality.
and the chant begins….
Ty Ty Ty Ty Ty Ty Ty Ty Ty Ty Ty Ty Ty Ty
Zane Zane Zane Zane Zane Zane Zane Zane
Is that the sound of crickets I hear? A tumbleweed blowing by? Or a large crowd collectively holding their breath?
I have nothing to add, just really enjoying all the questions and answers! 🙂
I came home, read all additional questions and answers, wow Ty and Zane really had been under the friendly fire, thank you so much guys (and your creators) for indulging us 🙂
Hey folks, just a note that Ty and Zane are taking a much needed break from responding to all of your questions and comments. They may be back online later this evening.
Much needed and very deserved! :bananadancer:
Word.
Oh, damn. On this part of the earth, i should be going to bed, big test tomorrow. Ty, Zane, love you guys! Everyone else 😀 it’s been a pleasure! Give them hell guys!
xoxo
This is for both of you guys (if this question hasn’t already been asked). What is your favorite memory of each since being together?
Okay guys. Zane and I are both terrified to show our faces here again, but we wanted to say thank you for tearing us new ones, and we hope you’re all satisfied with being nosy until the book comes out.
We’ve scanned the final questions (I say we, but fucking Zane ran off to find tea as soon as he got here and I haven’t seen him since) and there’s no more that we can answer without giving away the books. Or our pride.
We’re going to bail now. And we’re going to go do things to each other that none of you will ever hear about. Ever. Damnit.
Thanks a bunch “Ty and Zane” :bravo:
Ty, I will get that answer…someday! :flirt:
To Both: When kissing, do you prefer each other to be clean shaven, with 5 o’clock shadow or with facial hair (with beard and mustache)?

I think they’re saying goodbye. It was great having you here today but they need each other now. 😎
Damn I was a few minutes late :P. Thank you again for making this happen. It was so much fun getting to know them on a more casual level :D.
This was great, Thanks Guys.
That was amazing thank you guys so much for answering all our questions.
I have two questions I would like to ask.
I know that both of you are attracted to women is there a chance that you may bring a woman into your relationship or is it a look but don’t touch situation?
Plus I also want to know would both of you like children and how would you go about making it happen?

Because yesterday’s interview with Ty & Zane was a marathon, the authors have decided that they won’t be responding to any more questions in the forseeable future. I think all questions have been asked and answered (at least those they intend to answer without revealing any future plots) 😮
Thanks for commenting.
Zane and Ty- You guys made dialysis and a kidney transplant bearable. I’m like you Ty, in constant motion (and I’ve tipped my desk chair over with me in it multiple times) and having to “rest” for close to 4 months drove me nuts.
Do each of you have a favorite memory or moment spent with the other and Ty what does Zane smell like? Either of you wear cologne?
I’m glad to hear you’re on the road to recovery, Matthew. It takes a special type of person to comprehend and deal with the inability to be still!
I can’t think of a single moment spent with Zane that stands out as a favorite. Every second I’m able to spend with him is something special. (He smells like fall.)
Hi Matthew. I hope you’re well on the way to a full recovery.
It would be hard to pick a favorite moment, but one of them is certainly when I first saw him again when I returned to DC from that hellhole called Miami. He was such a sight for sore eyes.
Ty wears Old Spice. It must be the way it combines with his body chemistry, but the tiniest whiff and I know without a doubt that it’s him, and I now associate that scent with everything Ty means to me.
The first kidney transplants between living patients were undertaken in 1954 in Boston and Paris. The Boston transplantation, performed on December 23, 1954, at Brigham Hospital was performed by Joseph Murray, J. Hartwell Harrison, John P. Merrill and others. .’.`
