HERO CHARACTER INTERVIEW
How did you
first meet your writer? She caught me posing as a homeless kid at a shelter up in
Lincoln Park when she was writing False Start (the first book in her
Assignment: Romance series). She ended up giving me a pretty substantial role
in that story.
Did you ever
think that your life would end up being in a book? No! I had no idea, although, like I said, I was
surprised by how much I appeared in her first book, so I probably shouldn’t
have been surprised when she gave me a book of my own.
What are
your favorite scenes in your book: the action, the dialog or the romance? Aw, that’s a tough one. I mean, I love the skydiving scenes,
but those pale in comparison to the first couple of days I got to spend with
Aubrey.
Did you have
a hard time convincing your author to write any particular scenes for you? Oh yeah…the hammock? Totally my idea, but I know she didn’t
feel good writing it until she check with a trusted beta reader.
What do you
like to do when you are not being actively read somewhere? Read, run, jump out of airplanes, count the stars with
Aubrey.
Are you
happy with the genre your writer has placed you in? Absolutely. I don’t take myself seriously enough to pull off suspense
and…although, come to think of it, I’d be willing to do the whole kilt thing if
she decided to try a Highlander historical.
Do you like
the way the book ended? Well, if you ask me, it ended
way too soon, but she’s assured me that she’ll pick up where she left off in a
future book, so…
Would you be
interested in a sequel, if your writer was so inclined? See previous question.
What is your
least favorite characteristic your writer has attributed to you? Procrastination, but she assured me it was only a way for
her to build up the suspense a bit.
What do you do for a
living? As far as Aubrey knows, I’m a window washer
and work part-time in a running shoe store.
What is your greatest
fear? Aubrey finding out who I really am before I can
get her to fall in love with me.
What
embarrasses you? Probably the fact that I live with my
grandmother.
What is
something no one knows about you? Why do
you keep it a secret? And what would
happen if everyone found out about it? My true
identity. I keep it a secret because I am hell-bent on finding someone to love
me for me. If anyone finds out before that happens, I’ll never really be sure
if I’ve found true love.
What do you
find most appealing in men/women? Courage to live life
to the fullest.
What do you
find most unappealing in men/women? Fear
What do you
like most about where you live? My building’s roof
deck is amazing and I usually have it all to myself.
What would you not like
to do? Sit behind a desk, working 80 hours a week.

When Aubrey Thomas, a phobic travel writer, must choose between jumping
to what she considerers certain death from a skydiving static line or sinking
even deeper into debt in the unemployment line, she scrambles to find
someone—anyone!—who can help her overcome her debilitating fear of heights.
Enter John Trelawney, a charming window washer who thinks nothing of dangling
by a cable fifty stories up and claims he can cure her. Everything about John
makes Aubrey nervous... including the way her heart kicks into overdrive
whenever he's around. But, at the end of her rope, she takes him up on his
offer. Can he really help her get over her fear of heights? Or will Aubrey find
herself free falling...possibly even in love with him?
