My publisher came up with the idea of conducting interviews of characters from our books. I thought it sounded like fun, so I'm sharing them with you on occasional Blog Posts. Enjoy!
Character Interview – Garrett Dane, The Consequential Love Series
1. Introduce yourself to our readers. Where do you fit into the story? What should we know about you?
Hi, I'm Garrett Dane from The Consequential Love Series, Resolute Love, Challenged Love, and Victorious Love. I'm the male main character, guess you could say I'm the hero. You should know my history. I served in the U.S. Air Force. Enlisted after graduation from high school and got my dream job of serving in the Security Forces, I learned I had a knack for investigations, so I transferred to the Air Force Office of Special Investigations. I survived deployments to war zones. The loss of my partner in an investigation led to my separating from the Air Force and returning to my home state of Minnesota. I continued serving in law enforcement with the MN Bureau of Criminal Apprehension.
2. What do you think about the author? Tell us everything. We want to know.
Elaine is creative and writes steamy love scenes! She's what they call a pantser, so she didn't mind when we characters took over her plot with ideas of our own. We appreciated that freedom!
3. What are your feelings about this story?
Personally, I loved each of the stories. The mixture of romance and suspense with a touch of humor struck the right chord for my taste.
4. How do you feel about being a character in this book?
I'm glad she wrote me as the hero, I appreciate the strong name she gave me, even if my first name came off a road sign. Inspiration is all around us after all.
5. What do you see in your future? (No spoilers please!)
All of my dreams coming true, including those I don't realize I have.
6. Is there a Sequel/another book in the future? Will you be part of it?
I sincerely hope so. Elaine wrote a nice short story for a challenge that centered on Leigh and my first May Basket Day together. It holds significance to us as it came up in Victorious Love.
7. Say a movie producer comes knocking. What actor would you want to play you and why?
Someone suitable for my charming personality, courage, and physical attributes. Do I get a say in the final selection? Although Elaine did a wonderful job at selecting photos for our book covers! Did you see me on the cover of Resolute Love? Can we get someone like him?
