Character #3: Hawke


 


Welcome to our third character interview!!!

 Today, I'm interviewing Hawke, Briannon's brother and — at times — Maverek's nemeses. Yep. Just leaving that right there.

Here we go!


Abby: Hey, Hawke! Thanks for letting me interview you!

Hawke: Hello. *shifts in seat* Please tell me this isn't going to take too long?

Abby: Nope, I'll keep it short!

Hawke: *smiles* Short like Bree and Maverek's?

Abby: Fine. *rolls eyes* I'll keep yours even shorter, so long as you give me good answers to the questions I do ask.

Hawke: Deal.

Abby: What's your name mean?

Hawke: You expect me to know? It's a bird. Just a bird.

Abby: *smiles* Okay, we'll go with that. Theme song?

Hawke: "Til the Day I Die" by TobyMac.

Abby: Yeah, we're going to need to work on that . . . I feel like you have another theme song that you just don't want to share.

Hawke: *cocks eyebrow and grins* Keeping this short, remember? We only have time for one theme song.

Abby: Fine. Let's see . . . how about we just do the even-numbered questions for the rest of the interview?

Hawke: *still grinning* But what if I want to do the odd numbers?

Abby: *chuckles* Fine, the odd numbers. Number one! What's your favorite flavor of ice cream?

Hawke: Supercow.

Abby: Supercow?

Hawke: If I explain, you have to cut one question off the end.

Abby: Hawke . . . 

Hawke: All right. I'll give a short explanation and still answer the last question. Supercow ice cream is basically regular vanilla — but it's full of bright colors. So you don't know what to expect. Because it's not what it looks like.

Abby: Thanks! Very interesting! Okay, question number — ahem — three. Favorite grocery store.

Hawke: The cheap, junky little store. If they even sell groceries.

Abby: So, basically, you're saying it's a good thing Indie takes care of your food?

Hawke: Exactly.

Abby: *laughs* Okay. What's your favorite color?

Hawke: Green.

Abby: Nice! Favorite hobby?

Hawke: Working.

Abby: I'm not sure that's a hobby . . . 

Hawke: It keeps me busy and puts food on the table.

Abby: True. Well, since you wanted a shortened version of the interview, that's it!

Hawke: That wasn't too bad. *grins*

Abby: *smiles back* Good! Then maybe I can haul you back in for another one — or something similar — sometime?

Hawke: Good luck with that.

Abby: Please?

Hawke: I won't say no for sure.

Abby: That's all I need! Now you can say goodbye to the people who have put up with you for a whole . . . half an interview.

Hawke: *waves* Goodbye! And thanks!



Let's talk! What do y'all think of Hawke? Any other questions you have for him? Would you have answered any questions the same way he did?

      Thank you! It's been fun! Two more left to go! And maybe they'll be a bit more cooperative than Hawke . . . 🙄

    1. 😄 I agree completely! But I'm not sure he'd be too fond of that description . . . we just won't tell him that we think he's sweet. 😂

Fonts & Titles: Book Cover Design Crash Course - Part 1

Welcome to day one in my new three-part series!  For three Tuesdays in a row, I want to share some tips about the incredible art of designing book covers. I've spent hours and hours researching, observing, critiquing, experimenting with, stressing over, and having fun with book cover design. And I'm still not tired of it. Matter of fact, I spent hours yesterday making sample covers for this blog post, knowing full and well that there wasn't even a story to go with any of them. However, for a lot of y'all, stressing for hours over the perfect book cover probably  isn't  your idea of fun.  But that doesn't mean you get to skip doing it. I know that a lot of people will tell you that you should always  hire a professional to create your cover. And I'm not saying that isn't a good idea.  But I know that professional book covers are expensive, and that a lot of indie authors don't have a couple hundred dollars lying around to buy one. So, hopefully, I can...

Let Me Introduce You...

I admit it.      My characters are real people to me. They have personalities, ideals, quirks, motivations, beliefs, good points, bad points. Like real-life people. I just happened to make these people up.     They're real to me, though, and I hope that, once you read their stories, they'll be real to you, too (a lot of commas right there).     First, though, you've got to know who they are. So that's what this post is about. I want to introduce you to some of the major characters in my novel, then you can ask questions about them - questions that they can answer in upcoming posts.     Now, to those intros. Protagonist: Briannon     Seventeen-year-old Briannon should be living in Zayvia's castle with her family of nobility. Instead, she's been living with a peasant family since she was twelve. She's left ruling to her uncle and sister - that's the way it's always been, even if it's wrong. But som e things are impossible to igno...

January 2021: Wrap Up

And . . . the first month of 2021 is already over! Can you believe it? 😮 Already this year, some big things have happened in my life! I got my first job! I decided on a timeline for publishing Like a Warrior . I read one of the rare books that actually blows my mind. I made a drastic change in career plans that I'm really excited about! I found yet another scheduling/to-do list method for my days that helps me! (I have to switch between different kinds of schedules and lists so I don't burn out.) I managed to stay consistent at blogging! I started a new blog series (Indie Author Spotlights). I participated in my first cover reveal! I joined Rebekah Morris's 2021 Reading Challenge! I had a lot of fun at The King's Daughters' Writing Camp! I wrote a short story in 21 words, as part of a challenge at Camp. That's the shortest story I ever remember writing! Writing progress in January: Worked on revising Like a Warrior , including majorly polishing the first chapte...
