***We interrupt this broadcast for a very important message***
I'm being interviewed at Falling for Fiction today! Whoopie!
***Now back to the regularly scheduled program***
That's my girl. Geri Harper. Miss Thang! (And in case you don't recognize it, the song I chose to represent her is "Short Skirt/Long Jacket" by Cake)
Time for the Girls Just Want to Have Fun Blog Hop! Thank you Jaycee and Victoria for coming up with this!

In POP TRAVEL, Geri is a rookie FBI agent on what is supposed to be an easy first case. But when she discovers carrying out her assignment will endanger innocent people, she has to make a choice. This interview takes place after the job is over.
Thank you for coming in, Geri. I know you have a busy schedule. This won't take long.
Geri - No problem. I have a few minutes to kill before I meet my new boss.
Great! Here's the first question: How would you describe your hero?
Geri - Don't get me wrong, but I don't need a hero. If you mean my, uh, boyfriend - first time I've called him that - I would say he is humble, handsome, and strong. He hides his machismo until he needs it. And we saved each other, by the way.
Aww, that's wonderful!
Next question: What's your biggest date horror story?
Geri - Well, it wasn't exactly a date, and it started out to be exciting when we found this secret tunnel. Then my entire outfit was ruined when we sludged through it, all the way down on our bellies at one point and digging our way through another. Not something I want to do again, in an evening gown anyway.
I bet!
Question 3: What turns you off from a guy the most?
Geri - stupidity and staring at my chest, usually those go hand in hand.
Ha! That's great!
Next question: Kiss on the first date?
Geri - not usually, but when you are undercover, sometimes it is necessary...
That sounds interesting. But I know you're pressed for time, so here is the last question: What is one thing you believe tells a lot about a person?
Geri - That's a tough one. I'd say a person's eyes. Eyes don't lie. Lips lie. Eyes confess.
Oooo, good answer! Thank you so much for sitting down with me! Hope you like your new boss!
Geri - You're welcome. I should. It's a woman. That's already an improvement.
Well, there you have it. Another fun blog hop and getting to know our characters better makes them that easier to write. Literally getting inside their heads!
Thanks for reading and have a great weekend!
Promise I won't stare at your chest, Geri.
ReplyDeleteFun interview! I like this bit - "Lips lie. Eyes confess."

Very true.
Fun interview! Loved "Lips lie. Eyes confess."
ReplyDeleteI like her. She's refreshing. :)
ReplyDelete"Don't get me wrong, but I don't need a hero." I kind of danced in my chair to that answer. Amen, Geri! Amen!
ReplyDeleteThis was a really fun interview -- I like Geri's answers to your questions; they're revealing about her character and create intrigue for the story. Nicely done.
I definitely like Geri, for sure. She does not sit on the sidelines and I love that in a person:)

ReplyDeleteGeri sounds like an awesome character! Just my type of woman.
ReplyDeleteI love Cake! Great song choice and I liked your answer "eyes don't lie, lips lie" Very nice entry!

Geri sounds AWESOME! I'd love to meet her in your book one day. :-)

I'd say a person's eyes. Eyes don't lie. Lips lie. Eyes confess. - that's so poignant.

ReplyDeletestupidity and chest staring would get to me too! great interview and fantastic character :)
ReplyDeleteLove that song by Cake. Haven't heard it in awhile. Fun interview with Geri.
