Featured - Character Interview with Victoria from "Directions of the Heart" by Marie Lavender

8/8/2017

0 Comments

We've already got to know Jenna and Reece better. Now let's bug Victoria (I love her name!) with some questions too.

Character Interview

Devika: Welcome, Victoria. I’m so excited to have you over. Please have a seat.

Victoria: I appreciate the invitation!

Devika: Victoria, I’m curious to find out more about you. What do you do for a living?

Victoria: Well, I am an architect at the Margulies Perruzzi firm in South Boston. (Laughs.) But, my alter ego Tory just flies by the seat of her pants…or those skimpy dresses she wears!

Devika: Interesting. What about your family background?

Victoria: I came from a pretty wealthy family. We lived in Somerville. Unfortunately, we were never close, and I broke away from them to make a name for myself several years ago.

Devika: I see. So how did you meet Rick?

Victoria: It was all an accident really. I set out to pretend to be someone I wasn’t – Tory – and I met him in a club the first night I went there. He just happened to be there right when I needed some help. But I didn’t count on being so attracted to him.

Devika: Wow. That sure makes for an interesting story. How did you know he’s the one?

Victoria: You could say it was a whirlwind romance, full of ups and downs, but we connected on a lot of levels. Plus, he has the hottest accent on the planet!

Devika: Would you say there was a decisive moment in your life that made you who you are today?

Victoria: Yeah, I always knew I wanted to draw and sketch buildings. I think I disappointed my parents when I pursued this career. They had my life mapped out for me, and I just wasn’t comfortable with that. So, you could say that the way they treated me shaped me into the person I am today.

Devika: Let’s talk about your dreams and goals in life.

Victoria: Besides excelling as an architect, I’d like to settle down someday. Here’s to hoping the guy I want right now gets with the program!

Devika: Okay. And what is your greatest fear?

Victoria: I think the worst has already happened to me, but I guess I’m afraid that I might have lost myself in my quest to prove a point. But I am working on figuring things out.

Devika: Tell me, if you could have anything in the world, what would you wish for?

Victoria: I guess it’s crazy, but I wish I could go back and change some things, even though that’s not possible. I should’ve told the truth from the beginning…

Devika: I’d love to talk some more, but unfortunately our time is up. Thanks so much for stopping by. I can’t wait to see what adventures you’ll have in store for us in the future. *waves*

Featured - Character Interview with Reece from "Directions of the Heart" by Marie Lavender

8/1/2017

0 Comments

Last week, we got to know more about Jenna from "Directions of the Heart" by Marie Lavender (link). Today, Reece answers my questions.

Character Interview

Devika: Welcome, Reece. I’m so excited to have you over. Please have a seat.

Reece: Thank you! I heard Jenna landed an interview, and I was surprised to receive your call too.

Devika: Reece, I’m curious to find out more about you. What do you do for a living?

Reece: Actually, I am a manager over at West Side Books in Denver. But I don’t want to be there forever. I’m hoping to finally go to college and take some business classes, figure out a plan for my life.

Reece: Interesting. What about your family background?

Jenna: I currently live with my mom. I guess I could afford to be on my own, but sometimes I think she really needs me. I’ve been the man of the house for a long time, at least since my deadbeat dad left us when I was a kid. Good riddance! But I would’ve done something about the way he hurt my mom.

Reece: I see. So how did you meet Jenna?

Reece: Oh, we were always inseparable, the ‘dynamic duo’, as our mothers liked to call us. At least until Jenna left to go to New York to find herself. But it’s hard to be apart from the one person who knows you best.

Devika: Wow. That sure makes for an interesting story. How did you know she’s the one?

Reece: I never realized it until after she was in New York. But I think I’ve always loved her in so many ways. I never got serious about the few girls I dated; the relationships just fizzled out. I believe that’s a sign. Plus, it’s not like I could overlook the fact that I was suddenly crazy attracted to Jenna.

Devika: Would you say there was a decisive moment in your life that made you who you are today?

Reece: Yeah, I’d like to think that witnessing everything my father put my mom through made me a better man. I know I would never do that to anyone.

Devika: Let’s talk about your dreams and goals in life.

Reece: Like I said, I have some plans. I’m gonna figure everything out, and then I’ll be worthy of Jenna.

Devika: Okay. And what is your greatest fear?

Reece: Losing Jenna for good. Even if she won’t have me, and we aren’t a thing, I can’t lose her as a friend.

Devika: Tell me, if you could have anything in the world, what would you wish for?

Reece: I think I’d be the happiest guy ever if I got hitched with Jenna. But I really don’t want to scare the poor girl off. I mean, we’re not even an ‘us’ yet.

Devika: I’d love to talk some more, but unfortunately our time is up. Thanks so much for stopping by. I can’t wait to see what adventures you’ll have in store for us in the future. *waves*
