Oh, My Hero!


This week I'm participating in a blog hop hosted by two of my NA ('new adult') sisters, Jaycee DeLorenzo and Victoria Smith. The instructions were simple: "On April 27th, post a picture of your hero with a character interview that has at least 5 questions." Shiny! I can do that. :) 

Some of you will remember Wallace from Casting Call... 


He's the deeply conflicted hero of my paranormal romance, Strength, and for the purposes of this 'hop, I gave him a worksheet:





























































 
Aww, gotta love him. :) So, what about you guys? 

What's the hero in your latest book like?

Have a great weekend!

P.S. If you're looking for my interview with Cindy Hogan, you can find it here. :)
[Note] I purchased a Fotolia license for this image. (And if I end up going the self-pub route, you better believe you'll see it again. Rowr!) Anyway, I'd advise against reposting it. We want to be respectful of the photographer and model. Oh, and I'm pretty sure it's illegal. That is all.:)

  1. Ah! How swoon worthy! He's so tortured and sexy his heroine is probably completely overwhelmed with his deliciousness! And I love how you did your questions. Very original :D. Thanks for joining the hop Carrie!

  8. Love is something you forge together. Not something you think you feel--that's a terrific line. And I like how you did the interview, great idea.

  15. I guess I'm the only guy courageous enough (or silly enough) to comment! Anywayzzzzzuh! I love the answer to the last question "I'd tell her everything." This line is so telling of a person's character that it blows me away if a woman wouldn't like a guy like that. Okay, now I'll shut up. LOL ;)

  19. Wallace Blake.. I like the name! I thought it was very creative how you created the interview as a questionnaire that he filled out. Awww.. not matter what he does he ends up hurting people..I thought it was great how he crossed out some answers ;) Very nicely done!

  20. Brilliant! This is one of my favorites in the hero blog hop!

  21. Your crossing out of girlfriend and changing it to friend made me laugh. He's still fighting it.

    ReplyDelete
  22. He sounds like a great character. :D

    The hero in the last book I finished was the highly introverted, quiet type. (Looking back on it, I put a lot of my own personality into him . . .)

    1. Who could blame you? It's fun getting to know introverted heroes. :) Thanks, Eagle!

  23. Awwwww! I love that last answer: I'd tell her everything.

    Okay, random question: what is the font you used for his handwriting? I like! And how did you do the crossing out thing? (Which was a nice touch, btw ;-) )

    1. Thanks, Rachel! The font is called Snake. As for the crossed out entries, that was done in Photoshop. (The whole worksheet was an image.) ;)

    2. Thanks for sharing the font name!
