Ben Carrington from More Than Words, Madison Falls 2 by @suebeehny #RLFblog #Contemporary

Interview with Ben Carrington

This interview is designed for your hero or heroine to tell
readers about himself or herself.
Tell us about yourself, please.
(Shrugs) (Looks up with gorgeous sky blue eyes)—(Reed, his
best friend, nudges him to get him to talk.) Okay! My name is Ben Carrington. I
co-manage Sutton Construction with the idiot next to me-OW! Damn it!-(Shoves
Reed back.) I’ve lived in Madison Falls a little over a year now. (Reed rolls
his hand in front of Ben in the “keep going” gesture.)
I’m not that fond
of talking. What else? Oh, Reed called me after we got out of the Navy and
asked me to move here to help him after his dad retired. So, that’s it.
Authors call what you
want but cannot have “the conflict” — what is yours?
I’ve been in love with Tracy King, the owner of King’s Cake
in a Cup, almost since I moved here. I want to ask her out but can’t seem to
manage the words. I go to her shop all the time to try her cupcakes and listen
to her talk. I’m hoping she’ll take the hint and ask me out first.
What can you not do (but
need to do) during this story?
I need to be able to tell Tracy how I feel about her and the
real reason I’m so quiet all the time. I’m not a jerk, but like I said, I don’t
like to talk.
What inner doubt
causes you the most difficulty?
I’m afraid that Tracy will move on before I have a chance to
make my move. I also don’t want her to think less of me when I tell her my
secret.
In the story world your author created, explain what it is
you fear most and why.
Tracy’s dad is out of prison and wants money from her. I’m
afraid he’ll try to hurt her to get what he wants. He’s ruthless and I want to
keep her safe at my house.
Tell us about your
significant other, that person who makes living worthwhile.
(A slow smile spreads over Ben’s face and his eyes light
up.) Tracy is…(He gives Reed a warning glare to keep quiet.) Tracy is
everything I’ve ever wanted in a woman. She’s beautiful, outgoing, smart, and,
well, she’s everything. I love her so much, I run extra miles to stay in shape
because I eat so many of her cupcakes. Try them. They’re the best.

of sexiness. Susan graduated summa cum laude with a B. A. in English from

What was your biggest
challenge in writing this book?
I think my biggest challenge was in making Ben an awesome
book boyfriend since he doesn’t talk much. I had to help him convey his
feelings in other ways.
Why did you choose
this character for the interview today?
Ben needs to learn to open up and talk to more people. I’m
trying to get him to be more of a people person.
When writing the
book, what did you discover about this character that surprised you?
Still waters run deep with Ben Carrington. He may look tall,
dark, and quiet, but his inner thoughts will throw you for a loop.
Are any sequels
planned for this book?
Absolutely. I planned it as a series. I am currently writing
Book #3, Keith’s story.
What genre(s) would
you like to write that you haven’t tried yet?
I would love to try romantic suspense or maybe a paranormal
romance.
What would your
readers be surprised to learn about you?
I’m a left-handed, green-eyed, triplet who happens to have a
mad addiction to Reese’s cups.
Why should readers
who haven’t picked up one of your books before give this one a try?
It has everything: romance, steamy love scenes, humor,
action, suspense, and an intriguing story line.
Is there anything
you’d like to say to your readers?
Please, please, please buy my book(s)! You’ll fall in love
with the characters and walk away with a smile on your face.
