#CharactersTell Antagonist Week - Interview with Mathis Celsius

The summer brought with it storms, and storms brought with them a bit of a technical problem that made this post late... But I don't let pesky things like simple forces of nature stop me from putting out an interview!

Tonight's guest is Mathis Celsius - he is a bit of an hedonistic magician, working the clubs of Las Vegas and who made quite the name for himself - and along with that accumulated the money to pursue his goals.

He comes from Avrin Kelly's story "Feud". Avrin is a lovely author that you can find on Twitter through this link. Along with that, she runs the "Wicked Shorts" blog and an oddcast where she reads her stories with quite the lovely southern voice!

You can find "Feud" on Amazon through this link!

Along with that, there's Petit Demon, a short story that you can find here, and she's working on Menagerie, all stories you can see snippets of Mathis in!

But! Let's get to know Mathis, shall we?

------

And here we are! With the heat rising, we’re getting to know the people that tend to put our main characters on the hot coals… the antagonists! And to do that, we’ve got our guest for tonight: would you please introduce yourself, your book and your author for us?

My name is Mathis Celsius, but you can call me Matt. I was in a book called “Feud” by Avrin Kelly; if you can even call it a book. It’s like 12 pages long… but I guess we can’t all be winners, right?

Well, 12 pages is still quite something! And the shorter the work, the more likely you’ll be featured in more~ But! Tell us a bit about you. Where are you from? What do you do for a living?

I’m from Vegas. I’m a professional magician too. I’m pretty famous. People are stupid, they’ll pay $20 to watch anything they think might be supernatural… They have no idea that my “routine” is, in fact, quite real.

Ohh, from the city of sin, then! Tell us a bit about your routine on stage. Is there something you perform that is dearest to your heart? Do you have a theme, or a gimmick?

My ‘theme’ is money. My gimmick is shock value. I'm good at illusions, and it freaks people out. Most people don’t expect to see their dead relatives on stage when they go see a show in Vegas, but at my shows, they might.

So you deal with the spirit world? How did you get started into the realm of the supernatural? How did you figure out what sort of things you can do?

Nope. I don’t really deal with the spirit world. I just fuck with people. I got put on this road by my father. You’d think he would have been horrible, to sire a guy like me, but he wasn’t. He was a good guy, and a Magician, like yours truly. We Magicians ‘borrow’ magic from other supernatural beings, because we don’t have our own. We are just human. But, my father, he died indebted to a Warlock. (A pretty powerful one). So guess who had to pick up the slack? You don’t skip out on your bill when a Warlock is involved. Even death won’t get you off the hook…

Is this what brought you to be like this? You seem to be quite self-aware that your route isn’t particularly good, to introduce your father in such a way. Is the anger for being forced to pay that bill what fuels your contempt?

I just fucking hate Warlocks. They’re self righteous. They think they’re better than everyone else. If I had a nickel for everytime I outsmarted that half-wit, Thierry, I’d be even richer than I am now. You see, Warlocks are the fundamental problem with our world. If they had someone to police them, this rock wouldn’t suck so hard, and the supernatural community wouldn’t be so… fucked.  

From the way you put it, I suppose you’re not the only person who feels like this. Do you have a lot of allies? Has an insurgence against the warlocks ever happened?

Not yet. They have too many people on their side. They have the Council of Scholars, those guys are immune to magic; so they're hard to get to. Then you have the Warlocks themselves, they’re nearly impossible to hurt or even talk to (for that matter). The Quorum, those who control the Witches of this world, all they care about are themselves… It’s basically every magic person for themselves. Its bullshit.

I can imagine that. So, is your acting like you’re a bad guy actually just a front? You seem to have quite the strong political views, and you seem to have a contempt for the treatment of the supernatural world from these people. Are you trying to make it right?

I’m simply going to punish the man who ruined my father. Yet another Warlock… And I promise, I’m not acting. I’ve done some horrible things to get to where I am now. It’s taken a lot of work and patience. And if Thierry thinks he’s going to stop me, he’s out of his mind. Period.

I see. Let’s try to talk about something a bit more lighthearted for a bit, shall we? How’s the summer in Vegas? What’s your favorite season?

Winter. But I don’t spend my winters in Vegas. A lot of times I go to Galway, Ireland. Magic is stronger there for some reason. That’s probably why the Scholars have their base of operations there. I have a hidey hole in Galway. The scenery is beautiful. Whenever I go out there, it’s the only time I ever feel like my old self again. The only time I can ever be truly alone too, which is hard to do when you're famous.

Ireland *is* a beautiful country indeed. So, if you like winters so much, how do you cope with summers? I imagine Vegas can get pretty blazing hot. Do you have any summer-specific pastimes?

Does titty-watching at my private pool count?

Hard to say it doesn’t, to be perfectly honest. Ornithology is a great hobby.

There are some rare, dirty birds in Vegas…

Heh. I can imagine that. Speaking of which - we are in a certain month. Have you ever experimented?

Absolutely. I enjoy the company of anyone with half a brain.

That must make for some interesting pool parties… Tell us. You seem to be one who enjoys the finer things in life as much as some calm and relaxing time… What is the wildest sort of party you ever were part in or organized?

I’d have to say conjuring succubi would be at the top of my list. I was just studying, practicing magic as one does, and it worked. This succubus had the ability to copy herself at will (as any sex, mind you), and believe me you… she did. That was a helluva day.

Damn! I can imagine that… But! I’m afraid we’re getting out of time for tonight’s interview - is there anything you’d like to tell to our audience? You have free reign.

I would say this: the rebellion is coming, so don’t get too comfortable. I’ve only just begun to strike. Thanks for having me Manuel, you're a pretty cool guy.

The pleasure was mine! Can’t wait to see more of you and the other stories in this world! Thank for your time, and have a nice day!

You too, brah.

*winks* Call me.

------

Uhhhf...Quite the heated ending there. I do have to admit I am intrigued, not to mention the thoughts of a private pool and ornithology along with good company and succubi does sound quite intriguing.

But! That is it for tonight's interview! As always, YOU can have YOUR characters interviewed on this blog! Just send me a message on Twitter and we'll sort you out!

Another reminder that, for all your characters gripes, the bar down in #CharactersHell, co-hosted by the lovely @Ladyofmind, is always open!

Hope to see you guys around!

Toodles!

#CharactersTell Antagonists Week - Interview with Heather Monroe's Superego

A litral angel on her shoulder, it seems

Another week, another interview, of course! And this one's an interesting one: for our antagonists this time we have a Main Character's psychological facet - Heather Monroe's Superego. After all, sometimes our greatest enemies and hurdles come from inside ourselves! Heather Monroe is the protagonist of "The Admonition Position", the second book of the Marshmellow Slut erotic saga from Marsha Adams! This Superego seems to have quite the hard time trying to keep Heather in check in her exploration of more and more intense and extreme kinks~

Look at that glance. She must have some
other delightful deviousness in mind.

Marsha is a lovely Scottish writer, who has already two books on Amazon! You can find her Amazon Author Page here, along with her books, by following this link!

She's active on Twitter as well (and you should totally follow her using this link right here!)

But let's get down to it, shall we?

------

With the second week of May, we get to know some of our antagonists a bit better - and today we’ve got one of them! I have to admit, though, this is a first for me, interviewing a psychological construct. Would you please introduce yourself, your book and your author for us?

Hi, I’m Heather Monroe’s superego. Marsha Adams wrote “The Admonition Position” about me. Well, Heather says it was written about her, but we both know it would have been a better story if I was the main character.

So, you’re her Super-Ego… I must confess, I might be a tad rusty on my psychology. Can you tell us what you represent in her?

I’m her conscience, I guess. I’m the part that makes smart choices. The right choices. I’m fighting a constant battle with her id. She wants Heather to have ‘fun’.To be a bit adventurous. I try to keep Heather on the straight and narrow. Not ‘straight’! Not like that. But, you know, morally correct. I try to stop her making mistakes. I’m… I’m not very good at my job. She doesn’t listen to me.

To be honest, you make it sound like you have a lot of fights to keep Heather on the right path, or at least the one you seem to define as such. You were very quick about trying to specify you weren’t talking about ‘straight’ in that manner. Was that a difficult part as you were growing up with Heather and her id?

It wasn’t, not at all. I don’t know where she gets these ideas from. Well, I do. They conspire against me. Peter gives her notions, her id thinks they sound like fun and Heather sides with the two of them. She hardly ever listens to me. I’m having a bit of an identity crisis if I’m honest: I’m not even sure if I know what ‘right’ is any more.

You really sound stressed out by all of this. Is it always this much of a constant struggle? Do you ever get at least some little victory in Heather’s mind or do you feel like you’re slipping?

I do win sometimes. But it’s like she has to hit rock bottom before she listens to me. I keep telling her she can have fun safely, and id keeps pushing her to go further. I think I saved her when she was at her worst. She was… well, she was close to giving up. On everything, you know? But I made her get help. From Peter. I’m not sure that was right either, but it was better than the alternative.

At least you do get some shots in. I think it’s important. And, was there ever a time when you thought you were right but instead you were wrong? You mentioned you don’t think you know what’s right anymore, what is it that you’re changing your mind on?

I convinced her to start seeing Peter. He seemed like he’d be the sensible choice if she really wanted to listen to id. He came across as moral. I don’t think he’s moral. I think I made a mistake there. The thing is, I’m only as smart as Heather. She’s not stupid, not at all, but she can be naive. So I’m kind of naive. But trusting people is a good thing, right?

It tends to be as a general rule, but I think you yourself noticed that it might be a mistake to trust everyone. So, tell us about you. Do you remember when was the first time that you actually made a difference in Heather’s life? What’s the first time you had to push her to do the right thing?

When she was 13, she lost her father. That was my chance to really shine. Her grades started to slip and I turned her round. I made her into a determined young woman, ready to take on the world.

Do you think you might have overdone it, perhaps? A big boost of confidence and strength can bring to underestimate possible physical or social risks.

You see, this is why I doubt myself. What if I’ve always been wrong, even when I thought I was doing my best job? Working hard, striving, never giving up: those are supposed to be good things, right? Moral choices. But they’ve got Heather into trouble, more than once. And out of trouble too, I suppose. I do my best. I do. That’s the moral thing: always doing your best. That’s what I want for Heather.

They do say that hindsight is 20/20, so I guess you can’t really consider how something can affect someone in the long run until you see it happen. So… Tell us. What sort of trouble are you trying to keep Heather out of? You seem pretty worried about this, what do you think can happen to her?

She makes poor choices. About sex. Sorry. I shouldn’t talk about that. Or maybe I can? This is half the problem: I’m supposed to be enforcing social standards and I don’t know what they are any more. And Heather is in some very odd social situations with some very unusual people these days. I’m a bit lost, frankly. I just worry that she’ll end up with people who don’t care about her like I do.

Of course you can talk about sex. We explore all sorts of themes around here, I even wrote a blog post about sexuality. And well… I can completely understand your worry. Especially in that field, we can end up getting burnt very easily, the lines between physical and emotional safety are very much blurred when physical contact comes into play. Does she get in a lot of… well, weird situations, sexually speaking?

She only gets in weird situations these days. It’s like someone took the lid off a big box of kink and everything’s jumped out. All the urges I’d been keeping under control, all the awful stuff she fantasises about when she thinks I’m not looking… everything.  It’s worrying. And I don’t even know if it’s wrong. It feels wrong. Her mum wouldn’t like any of it.

Then again, sexuality is a very personal thing, isn’t it? And it’s definitely not something we usually share with our parents in the more…’explicit’ sense of it. Doesn’t it feel good to have her feel good? What sort of fantasies does she have that upset you so much?

The BDSM stuff confuses me. And it makes me redundant, I think: she likes being punished, she’s punished when she’s bad, so she likes being bad. Where do I come into that? Nowhere, that’s where. I’m useless. And anonymous sex! How can I help her do the right thing if I don’t even know who she’s doing it with? Don’t even get me started on the public stuff. Sex is private, like you said. Personal. It’s not supposed to be on stage, for an audience. Except almost everyone around her is actually a decent person. They are. They’re good. But… they do these awful things. And she tells me I mustn’t judge them.

You might be playing a bigger part than you realize though. Without your warnings and the feelings you provide, wouldn’t the rush in certain things get lessened? And perhaps you might want to look at it from a different perspective - more at how to keep doing this but recognize hard boundaries than trying to pull her away from this world all together.

I’m not sure Heather would have any boundaries if it wasn’t for me. She says she does, but then her id goes to work, and Peter talks to her, or Gabriella does, and then she ends up doing things I told her not to. Because I’m not allowed to judge this stuff, apparently. Her new rule is “everything’s okay if everyone’s having fun”. I’m trying to adjust to that. I guess judging people for how they have fun is… wrong? How can I do my job if the rules keep changing like that? This is not how we were brought up.

I mean, as long as everyone, and especially Heather, is having fun and are safe I think pushing some boundaries is fine. But you do seem to have a lot of work on your hands regardless to make sure they aren’t pushed too far, divide social norms that can be wrong from actual possible harm, you know? Anyway, I’m afraid we’re almost out of time! Is there anything you’d like to say to our audience before we conclude the interview?

Well, the right thing to do would be thank them - and you - very much for listening to me. And apologise for complaining so much, I guess. And for talking about… you know. That stuff. And for gossiping about Heather. Oh hell, I’m just bad at my job, aren’t I? Sorry.

Ah, don’t take it badly. It means we get to know more about both Heather and you, innit? Thanks for coming! Hope you and Heather id can find a way to coexist well together! Can’t wait to see your influence in “The Admonition Position”!

#CharactersTell Antagonist Week - Interview with Bernard Griffin

Well hello there! Sorry for the day of delay, but yesterday my twitter feed was getting hijacked by Zoe to host #MCchat.

But now that we're back, there's no time to dilly-dally around! We've got an interview to have!

Today on the hot seat we've got an antagonist, in line with our second week of April's questions.

Only true gentlemen have portrait frames

Our guest for the night is Chief Inspector Bernard Griffin - a man of refined tastes, a warrior, a hunter and a naturalist. Truly a gentleman.

He comes from the novel "For The Next Killer Who Dies". It's the tale of a political uprising, written by Sam Amenn, also known with their pen name Alexander Phoenix.

Here's Sam! The phoenix is
holding the camera, ofc.

Sam is a lovely person that I got to know from Twitter (where you should totally follow her, using this link).

She has a blog as well, "Pepper Writes", where her lovely Phoenix assistant talks about the writing journey they're doing together! You can find her blog through this link here.

Her story can be found on the dedicated site of the book, that is easily reached with this link!

But, let's get to the interview, shall we?

------

Well, here we are for another interview! It’s April and the good season continues to roll in, but today we’re talking about antags...so we’ll see how ‘good’ the season will be~

Speaking of which! Would you please introduce yourself, your novel and your author to us?

Bernard: I’m Chief Inspector Bernard Griffin and I appear in Kingsley’s memoir For the Next Killer Who Dies. From what I understand, Kingsley Montivelo wrote it with assistance from Sam Amenn.

Oh dear! A joint venture! Interesting! But let’s talk about you - that’s quite the impressive title you’ve got there. What are your duties as the Chief inspector? Can you tell us for which government you work? Is it based here on our earth, or somewhere else?

Bernard: I’m not from your world, although we, apparently, share many similarities. I work for the Shivian government. Shiva is a country known for its wealth, power, and colonial territories. It is a republic, but only for a select few. As chief inspector, I am in charge of keeping law and order. I’ve had many assignments all over our empire, but, the memoir focuses on my time in the Killbraugha, one of our many colonies that border Shiva. While in the Killbraugha, I was charged with destroying the separate movement that called itself the Ilkhatal Freedom Movement.

You do seem to realize there is some sort of disparity into your government, telling us that it’s a republic for a select few. And we all know colonialism does bring with it it’s own fair share of problems. Is this what puts you on a collision course with the Main Character? And what are your thought on the situation of your government?

Bernard: I am a realist. I don’t like pretending my government is perfect, because it prevents me from understanding my targets, which interferes with my duties. To answer your question, yes, Kingsley, the Main Character, as you call him, is one of the leaders of the Ilkhatal Freedom Movement and it is my job to stop him and his fellow separatists. How I feel about my government matters very little. I was a former soldier and now I am a civil servant. My job is to serve my government to the best of my abilities.

And does this understanding of your enemy ever put you into difficult situations? How hard is it to both try to do your duty and have to see things from their perspective?

Bernard: It was difficult during some of my other assignments, when I was younger, but not so much in the Killbraugha. At least...I can understand the Ilkhatal Freedom Movement without getting lost in their logic. The true difficulty comes from dealing with my superiors. They don’t understand how Kingsley and the others think. They believe the Ilkhatal can be cowed into submission with empty threats and mass demonstrations. They don’t understand how Kingsley and the others have changed the art of guerilla warfare.

You seem to have quite some respect for the man’s tactics. Do you reckon in another life things might have gone differently? What are your thoughts on their movement, what keeps you fighting them? Where do you think they are wrong in their ideology or actions?

Bernard: No, I don’t think I would have made different decisions in another life. I do respect the movement, as I respect all my foes who put up a fight, but it is the respect one has for a clever rat that has invaded your house. You know, inevitably, the rat will fall for one of your traps and everytime it escapes, it is only buying time, but you cannot help respect its cleverness and tenacity. As far as I why I continue to fight, I can’t stand hypocrisy or the violation of our laws. Without laws, civilization cannot stand, and when the movement partakes in assassinations, bombings, and general acts of terror, it is not only an attack against our government, but against civilization as a whole.

That’s absolutely understandable. After all, such tactics are still putting in danger peaceful people who want to just live their lives. Anyway, let’s try to lighten up the mood a bit, shall we? Since it’s the good season, can you tell us something about the wilderness and the natural wonders of the country you’re stationed in?

Bernard: Yes, if there’s one thing I appreciate about the Kilbraugha, it is its natural beauty. Some say it’s a backwards country because it has not yet been blighted by large cities, factories, and things of that nature, but that’s not true. It is still primitive, but only in the sense that the Ilkhatal are more respectful of nature then we, Shivians, are. It is a country of rolling hills and thick forests and is surrounded by two massive mountain ranges, one from the south and the other from the west. Occasionally, when I feel my men and I have earned it, we go hunting in the forests.

Oh, so a man that not only has a sense of duty but enjoys the wilderness and the camaraderie of his unit! Lately we’ve been talking a lot about camping and such. What do you tend to hunt? Are there any weird animals in your country? Any particularly edible?

Bernard: I prefer to hunt deer, but they are sacred in the Killbraugha and so our government banned us from hunting them. This means we’ve had to settle for boar, which is fine, but can be tough if you don’t know how to prepare it. Weird animals? Not so much in the Killbraugha, although they have odd bird life that I’ve only just started hunting and cataloguing. Some are delicious, others are not.

Very interesting! I’d love to see your journal with the entries on the various species you’re cataloguing! And back to a more calm life, is there anyone waiting for you at home when you finish your work day?

Bernard: Thank you. I am hoping to donate my journal to our natural history museum, along with a few specimen I was able to preserve. And, no, I never had the time nor the inclination to marry or start a family. I am also an only child, whose parents passed away long ago.

Oh. I am sorry about that, my condolences anyway. But. I’m afraid that for tonight we might be running out of time - anything you’d like to say to our audience? You have free reign.

Bernard: Oh, really? This wasn’t as painful as I imagined it would be. I suppose it would be my duty to end this interview with a general warning: be wary of anything Kingsley says or writes. I haven’t read his memoir yet, but I know the man, and he is an unreliable narrator who only preserves the facets of the truth that will make him look like an innocent martyr.

Always the problem with history being written by just one side. Thank you very much for coming, Chief Inspector Griffin! I’m sure we can’t wait to see more about you in this upcoming work! It’s been a pleasure, and please, have a good night!

Bernard: This has been tolerable, so thank you for that. Have a safe and good night.

And that does it for this week! As always, a friendly remainder that YOU can have YOUR characters interviewed on this blog!

Just send me a message on Twitter and we can set up an interview!

#CharactersTell Antagonists Characters - Interview with Dr. James Pritchett

This cake looks delicious af, btw.

Hello #CharactersTell crowd! Welcome back to one of our blog interview, and before we begin - Happy international women's day!

Here she is, with her charming smile!

I hope you're all passing it well! As for us, we're here with a returning guest author this week, and we're delving back into Hollie Hausenfluck's 'Deja Vu' book. For those of you who haven't seen the Background Character interview two weeks ago, which you can find here, Hollie is a lovely woman and author that you can find on Twitter, where you should totally follow her (and you can find her profile through this link).

'Deja Vu' is her upcoming Romantic Suspense novel, but aside from that, she is a prolific blogger - and you can get to her amazing blog through this link!

But we all know why we're here - we're here to get to know the Antagonist! So, without further ado, let me introduce you to Dr. James Pritchett, this week's guest!

------

And we’re back with another Antag! I have to say I am a bit wary, you never know what sort of people comes around… What about you? What can you tell us about you, the book you’re in and the author writing it?

My name is James Pritchett. I’m from the novel Deja Vu, written by Hollie Hausenfluck.

A pleasure to meet you, James. Can I call you James, or do you prefer another way of addressing you? And...well, you’re the antag of this novel, but I’d like to get to know you a bit better. Where were you born? What’s your star sign?

First of all, I would prefer to be addressed as Dr. Pritchett. I didn’t spend 7 years in medical school for people to call me Mr. As for the rest of your questions, I don’t see myself as the antagonist. I’m the hero. I save people, just not in the traditional sense of the word. I was born in Charleston, SC and I don’t set much stock in star signs, but if you must know, I’m a Taurus.

Dr. Pritchett it is then. And well, they do say that Taurus signs are uncompromising, practical and patient. Do you recognize yourself in this description?

I am a very patient man. I’ve waited more than twenty years to get what I want. As to being practical, of course I’m practical, I’m a doctor. You have to have a practical outlook when it comes to dealing with patients. Uncompromising? I don’t see myself as uncompromising. Other’s might argue different, but I’ve done nothing but compromise my whole life for other people. Now it’s their turn.

I mean, a testament to your patience is being here humoring me with my questions, so I think I can see your points. A doctor, then? May we know in what field of specialization?

Right now, I work at a rehabilitation facility in the heart of downtown Charleston. I’m a general practitioner, though my field of expertise used to be obstetrics. I spent a lot of time in school studying and when I started working at an OB/GYN office, I just couldn’t handle working that close with these women. The filth, oh it was terrible.

If you are feeling this way about them, what made you take that specialization back in the day? And what made you choose to become a doctor?

Well, it’s a very long story, but I guess it’s important. I was born to a crack addicted mother, who couldn’t quit her habit long enough to raise me. She signed away her rights and I bounced around in the system. I never really found a stable home and I thought as I grew into a teen, that I wanted to help these women, but it turned out being an obstetrician, just wasn’t how I wanted to help them. Now I do different work and it’s even better.

I’m sorry you had such a rough life before the start of this book. I can imagine something like this must have put you in a pretty sour disposition towards seeing certain...things in your line of work. Though I can’t help but feel like the way you say ‘work’ does sound a tad...ominous? Is it what is putting you in this position in the book?

Yes. It seems that no one understands how important my work is. Although, I’m not sure If I would consider it work, it’s more like art. I transcend these women and turn them into masterpieces.

So you consider yourself an artist? How did you start finding out you had this sort of artistic streak?

It really started as an experiment. First, I found my mother, after 20 years, I was able to track her down. I thought maybe a meeting would be nice, maybe we could have one of those happy family reunions, but unfortunately I was wrong. She hadn’t changed. So now, I was left with the hard decision of what to do. I decided I would try to fix her, but when that didn’t work, I killed her. I immortalized her. Everyone will remember Sarah Smith as the poor drug addicted prostitute that was murdered. Her story will be told over and over again.

That’s...quite interesting, actually. Do you think your work will give them some sort of justice? Notoriety or infamy? It kinda sounds like you not only want to make your art, but give relevance to a life that might be completely forgotten if not for you.

What can I say? I’m a saint. But there’s more to it than that. I only work with women who have children. I know what those children are going through. Abandoned and forgotten by a mother who would rather do drugs than be a mother to her children. In a lot of ways, these children that are left behind should be thanking me. I just don’t understand how other people don’t understand how important my work is.

There are the whole societal norms and the common social construct of moral and ‘goodness’ after all. How did you find yourself detaching from those views? Or have you never shared them to begin with?

Maybe it had something to do with the way I was raised. I never really had a role model or any parental guidance. What little guidance I did receive was always delivered with some form of abuse. You see these? *James pulls up his shirt sleeves*

Look like cigarette burns right?

A hard life can give eschewed lessons, after all. There could be an interesting argument for the whole ‘Nature vs. Nurture’ here, but I wouldn’t want to spoil the fun for the readers to delve deeper into these sort of things themselves. So let’s change the subject, lighten up a bit. Sure, you might have your views on the world and your work, but you’re still a person. What do you do aside from...well. That? Are you an outdoors person?

Not really. In my free time, I do a lot of research and reading.

An intellectual through and through. Research related to your ‘work’? Or something else? And what about your social life?

I do a lot of research on addiction and how it affects the body. Social life? I do a lot of dating, but it’s not in the sense that you’re thinking.

Oh my! A very interesting way of wording it...I’m sure there’s quite the surprise behind those words, but far from me spoiling it. Not to mention, we’re almost out of time for this week! Anything you’d like to say to our readers?

Don’t take me for granted. I will get what I want, no matter what it takes.

I mean… don’t get me wrong, but that does sound like quite the Taurus response. Maybe there is some truth to that stuff after all. Anyway! It’s been a real pleasure having you with us tonight! Can’t wait to see your art in Deja Vu!

It was my pleasure.
