Welcome to RWA/NYC’s Hero Blog Tour.
We are interviewing Heroes from New
York’s Romance Authors. You met their
Leading "Ladies "last month. We know
you’ll fall in love with each of these heroes.
We did!
Hi,
I’m Sandy. You may have met me in a book called THE STARS THAT TREMBLE, but my
story is told in THE SILENCE OF THE STARS. Let's get this over with.
Q: We have to know – boxers or briefs?
Briefs, assuming
I’m wearing anything. I spent over twelve years in the Army. Boxers don’t
really go well under the uniform. I mean, that’s why the call it commando, you
know?
Q: Where do you work and what kind of car do you
drive?
I work for my
buddy Mike at his interior renovation firm. I run the Brooklyn branch of the
company. I drive this fifteen-year-old green sedan that’s mostly rust and is
held together by duct tape and prayers. I hate driving, so if I could scrap the
car entirely I would, but first Brooklyn needs better intra-borough mass
transit.
Q: Have you ever posed for a Male Calendar? Would you? If so, what month would you be and
why?
Uh, that’s a
negative. If you forced me at gunpoint, I’d pose for a month like July. Mike
says he started calling me Sandy when we were kids because of my sunny good
looks. So it’s not just a clever name. (My real name is Alexander. The only
person who calls me that is my senile grandma, though, so don’t you dare!)
Q: Tell us your story.
I got hired to
do the kitchen renovation for the hottest guy I had ever laid eyes on.
Apparently that feeling was mutual. We got along like gangbusters. When we
started dating, I wanted to keep it casual, but it soon became clear that
Everett was put on this planet just for me. That worked out for me because I’ve
always wanted a family, and at almost-forty, that was looking like it wouldn’t
happen. But of course, we had a lot of nonsense to work out. My head isn’t
screwed on quite right. Kind of a long story, but my last tour in Afghanistan
didn’t go so well. I got hurt pretty bad, although after a bunch of surgeries,
I’m good as new. At least on the outside.
Q: What was the first thing you noticed about
Everett?
Aside from the
smoking body? Well, he’s got a little chin dimple. I’m a sucker for a chin
dimple.
Q: Describe his looks.
He’s on the tall
side, kind of willowy, but substantial, too. He’s naturally thin, but a gym
avoider. Brown hair, pretty eyes. He has really soft skin.
Q: Is the Hero a sweetheart or a vixen? Does he help or hinder you?
This question
originally said “heroine” but I laughed picturing Everett as a sweetheart or a
vixen, so I’m keeping it. He’s definitely more of a sweetheart, but he has a
wicked streak and, let’s say a vivid imagination. He never hinders me in any
way; if anything his presence in my life gave me the push I needed to finally
seek help for my… issues.
Q: Do you believe in Happy Ever After or Happy
Right Now?
Ever after.
We’re not married or anything, but I see us being together until death do we
part.
Q: Who’s your favorite superhero – Captain
America, Superman, Iron Man, Batman?
Batman,
obviously. He’s got all those cool gadgets!
Q: Describe your author.
