Character Interview: Trip from Intrepid Trip to Love @charliecochet #RLFblog
An Intrepid Trip to Love Charlie Cochet, welcome to Romance Lives Forever. We’re excited
to interview your character, Trip Hagan from the book, An Intrepid Trip to Love.Genre: Contemporary/Fantasy shifterPublisher: Self (Part of the Goodreads M/M Romance group’s Love
Has No Boundaries writing event)Cover artist: Charlie CochetLength: 34kHeat rating: Rated-RBlurb: Tristan ‘Trip’ Hagan is a Husky shifter who was born to
be the Hagan Clan’s next Alpha, a position of honor and nobility, a position he
never wanted and was all too happy to pass onto his younger brother. But when they
discovered his brother couldn’t have pups, the responsibility of continuing the
Hagan Alpha line fell back to Trip. At the tender age of eighteen, Trip gave in
under the weight of the Hagan Council’s demand for him to fulfill his duty, but
after years of struggling to uphold his family’s traditions, Trip found the courage
to do what no other Hagan Alpha had done in the history of the clan: he came out.With
his Enforcers–the Devil Dogs, at his side, Trip won the battle against the Council,
who attempted to banish him and take his young son away. His victory allowed him
to remain within the clan and raise Robbie. Now five years later, the dust has settled,
and Trip is living a happy life with his cheeky pup and their own little makeshift
family. Brook–Robbie’s mother, her true mate Deacon, and the Devil Dogs are the
only ones who support Trip and know of his heartache.True
mates within canine shifter clans are very rare, but Trip has had one since he can
remember. Despite losing his heart to Boone twenty years ago, Trip holds little
hope of ever getting to bond with the sexy Enforcer, as it’s against clan laws for
pure-bloods to bond with half-breeds. How much longer can Trip and Boone resist
the longing in their hearts? With the call from their feral halves to seal the bond
growing stronger by the day, can Trip and Boone find a way to be together without
losing everything?Buy links: Coming SoonWhat are your main characters’ names, ages, and occupations?Tristan “Trip” Hagan, 35 years old, Full-time dadRobbie Hagan, 7 years old, mischief-makerBoone Devin, 38 years old, EnforcerHunter Devin, 36 years old, EnforcerInterview with Tristan ‘Trip’ Hagan
Tell us about yourself.“Sure, why not.” Trip sits down, bounces a little,
testing the plushness of the couch and getting momentarily distracted. “Oh,
right. Me. My name is Tristan Hagan, but everyone calls me Trip. I’m thirty-five
years old, divorced, and I have a seven year old son who’s obsessed with zombies
and owns a LEGO collection I’m convinced has been created for the sole purpose of
bringing me pain. They’re like little landmines of sharp evil pointiness.”“I’m the oldest of four, meant to be the next Alpha of our
clan but…” he wrinkles his nose and shrugs. “Let’s just say there was
some unpleasantness, drama drama drama, I’m no longer next in line. My hobbies are
watching movies, eating food, and driving Boone crazy.”Tell us about Boone.With a wide grin, Trip reaches into his back pocket and pulls
out his wallet. He removes a small photograph and holds it out. “This here
is Boone. You want to ogle him. I can see it in your eyes. It’s okay, you can ogle
him. He’s very ogley.” Trip cringes. “That didn’t come out right. Ogle-worthy?
Ogle-ish? Hot. We’ll go with hot. I’m going to put this away now or we’ll never
get anywhere with this interview.” Trip turns the picture for one last look,
let’s out a small sigh then puts it away before patting his back pocket. “I
like keeping him close. To my heart, not my ass. Though…” He trails off and
wriggles his eyebrows. “Sorry, you were saying something or asking a question.
Your lips definitely moved. I get distracted easily. Right! Boone. Boone is amazing.
If you didn’t know him, you’d probably be doing everything you could not to piss
him off. He’s big and can get real scary, but that’s why he’s an Enforcer. It’s
his job to be tough and protect the clan, specifically me and Robbie. They didn’t
nickname him and his brother Devil Dogs for nothing.” He discreetly looks around
the room before leaning forward and whispering,” He’s also a big softie.”
With a chuckle he settles back again. “But don’t tell him I said so, ’cause
then, well, he won’t seem so cuddly. There’s no one I trust more than him.”
He pauses. “What’s with the face? Oh, you wanted something juicy.” His
cheeks get a little pink. “I did mention he’s hot, right? Not that we’ve uh,
done a lot, but he’s an amazing kisser, and well, I mentioned big, and his arms,
Gods, and his ass!” Clears his throat and murmurs an apology. “Next question?”What do you think is your strongest point?“I’m a pretty cheerful guy, even when it seems like I’m
grumpy. I like to keep things light because there’s no point in dwelling on things
out of my control. I have a pup to look out for and he needs me to be strong for
him.”What would Boone say is your strongest point?“That would depend on what mood he’s in and if I’ve done
anything to influence that mood.” He laughs softly. “He would probably
say my attitude. He’s always telling me how much he loves that I can make him laugh.
I love making him smile or teasing him. It keeps us from getting lost in our own
thoughts too often.”What would Boone say is your biggest weakness?Trip rolls his eyes. “My sweet tooth, but he’s a dirty liar.
I don’t have a sweet tooth. So I indulge in Macadamia nut cookies every once and
a while, or homemade pancakes with lots of maple syrup for breakfast. Nothing wrong
with that. Doesn’t mean I have a sweet tooth.” He peers warily. “Do I
have a secret stash? Well if I did and I told you, then it would no longer be a
secret, would it? Get your own cookies.”What do you wish was different about your life?“I wish my father would remove the stick he’s got shoved
up his–I mean, I wish my father would at least make an attempt to understand me
rather than blindly following our clan’s council, but his priority has always been
his position first, our family second. I probably fell somewhere between bringing
home a gallon of milk, and approving aboveground sprinklers.If you were given your fondest wish, what would it be?“To be left alone to live a happy life with my son and Boone.
That’s not a lot to ask, is it?” He sighs before pursing his lips thoughtfully.
“And a magic remote with a ‘mute’ button I can use on Hunter. That would be
awesome.”Describe a place of perfect refuge.Trip smiles fondly. “One summer,
the Devil Dogs and I took Robbie camping out in the woods near the river. It was
supposed to be clear skies, but ended up pouring rain. We made the mistake of letting
Hunter set up the tents, and he put Boone’s too close to the river, so when it rose
from the rainfall, it got swept away with all his clothes and equipment inside.”
He laughs. “Boone was ready to strangle Hunter. Later that night, the skies
cleared up and we all sat around the fire to keep warm. Robbie fell asleep in my
arms and I told Boone he could share a tent with me and Robbie. Boone took my hand
in his and kissed me. It was the first time he’d ever done that. It was perfect.
I’ll never forget it. When I feel crappy, I just think about that night and it makes
me smile.”As a child, who was your best friend? Tell us about him/her.“Boone and Hunter have been my best friends since we were
pups. I wasn’t really supposed to become friends with my Enforcers, but those two
were just too much fun not too. Plus, I was never really in the habit of following
the rules. They’re great guys.” Trip smiles widely, his eyes filled with affection.
“You can always count on them to be there for you. They’re fearless and lucky
for me, the toughest Enforcers out there.” His smile fades and his eyes get
a little glassy. “If it weren’t for them, I would have lost everything. I owe
them so much.”What do you wish I had asked you? Please ask and answer it
now.“Would you like a cookie?” He grins broadly.
“The answer would be yes, yes I would like a cookie. Macadamia. If you’ve got
it.”About the Author

Alpha Wolves DJ Swykert, welcome to Romance Lives Forever. Let’s talk about
your book, Alpha Wolves.Genre: Historical RomancePublisher: Noble Romance PublishingCover artist: Fiona JaydeLength: 174 pagesHeat rating: SweetheartBlurb:Maggie Harrington is torn between her powerful and passionate
love for Tommie Stetter, and her deep and affectionate love for the abiding Jeremy
Paull. Having to choose between them is testing her beliefs and breaking her heart.Buy links:Noble Romance http://nobleromance.com/Books/417/Alpha-WolvesAmazon http://amzn.com/B00845KSFUWhat are your main characters’ names, ages, and occupations?Maggie Elizabeth Harrington, twenty-three, schoolteacher. Tommie
Stetter, twenty-six, mining captain. Jeremy Paull, twenty-six, copper miner.Excerpt:I am looking in the mirror at a guilty
person. I see a face that is happy on a day that it should be sad, and I am feeling
guilty about it. Today James Stetter is going to be buried, and I am feeling happy.I have not liked him for a very long
time; he took something away from me that I have been unable to forgive him for.
It has been ten years since I have seen Tommie Stetter and looked into his beautiful
brown eyes that glisten, that enter into me where I want them to be; and know me,
Maggie Harrington, for who I really am. So, even on this sad day, when they are
going to bury Tommie’s father, I am happy. I am going to be sitting once again in
church with my beloved Tommie, but I feel guilty about it.I look again at my face in the mirror.
It is the same face, the same blue eyes that loved Tommie Stetter with all her heart
when she was thirteen. I am twenty-three years old now, but I am the same little
Maggie Elizabeth Harrington. I am a little taller, and my bosom is fuller, my hips
are not as straight up and down, but I am the same, I am no different. I still live
here in Central Mine with my father who works deep under the earth digging copper.
I am a teacher’s assistant at the Central
Mine School.
I teach the first three grades, and I like teaching little children; they are pure,
their minds are not as cluttered with things as adults are. So, unlike many of the
people here in Central Mine, I am at least satisfied with my life, if not completely
happy.Ten years ago, when Tommie was sent
away, I was sure that in two years when he finished school, he would return to Central
Mine to work with his father as a mining captain and we would be married. I lived
with that dream for two years. I walked with Tommie in my head, I talked with Tommie
no matter where in the world he was, I was still with him; we were together. But,
two years later, I learned from my best friend, Annie, Tommie’s sister, that he
was going to stay in the East and continue his education, he was going to college.
But I am a very determined person, and I still believed that Tommie, my true love,
would come back to me. I never gave up that dream. I never left the dream world
that Tommie Stetter and I lived in, and I don’t think I ever will.After graduating from high school I
began to assist Mrs. Daume with the younger children. Eventually I was allowed to
teach them by myself, and I have been teaching the first three grades ever since.
I felt very fortunate, and I really liked Mrs. Daume. She continued to help me,
taught me all kinds of things about literature and philosophy. I liked learning
about people like Plato, who spent their whole lives thinking. After all, I believe
that I have spent my whole life either thinking or dreaming. I felt I had a lot
in common with Plato, who spent so much time thinking and talking about things like
truth. In addition to teaching at the school Mrs. Daume was the organist at the
Central Mine Methodist
Church. Nothing much has changed
in the church. Reverend White is still there, and still preaching his sermons with
great fervor, the sweat rolling off his temples, his voice screeching through the
air, and all the people listening and saying “Amen.” No, nothing much has changed
at the church.But a lot has changed at the mine. About
the time that I began helping Mrs. Daume the mine began to fail. The veins of copper
that could be found were very deep, and poor, and you would hear a lot of miners
talking about how they couldn’t make any money. The ore was poor, and they were
mostly just digging barrel copper to be stamped. Then, in the fall of 1899, the
Philadelphia Mining Company announced they were going to pull out. It wasn’t worth
their investment, the return on capital simply wasn’t worth it. Central Mine was
finished, going to be closed. There were many meetings, and lots of miners soon
left Central Mine. Officials came out and closed down the office, and work came
to a halt. The winter of 1899-1900 would be a very dark and cold winter. A very
frightening winter as the miners looked at their future. The mine had been operating
since 1863, and up until now had always been profitable. But it was also very remote,
and quite a few miles from the other mining ventures that still operated on the
Keweenaw Peninsula. Of the mining families that
had settled here, many of them knew little else. Many of the later arrivals, the
French, and Italians, left, but the Cornish teams that had been here the longest,
they were the most settled, these were their homes and they wanted to stay.When James Stetter offered to reopen
the mine under his own direction that spring the Cornish miners welcomed his offer,
and work began that summer to pump the water out of the shafts and put in fresh
timber. Mr. Stetter was respected and well liked by the miners. They worked hard,
everybody remained in good spirits, and they began that fall to bring small amounts
of copper to the surface. But the ore was not rich, and despite further exploration,
they were unable to discover any large new veins.For the last three years half of the
miners worked old shafts that still produced some barrel copper, and the money earned
was shared with James Stetter to finance the exploration for new and richer veins
by the other half of the miners. Things were not good, but everybody worked, and
life managed to go on in Central Mine much as it has for the last forty years. Monday
through Saturday under the earth, and Sunday mornings at the Central Mine
Methodist Church
listening to Mrs. Daume play the organ, the choir sing, and Reverend White preaching
his sermons.I have been busy teaching children;
doing the chores, and cooking dinner for my father, who was just as silent as before,
just as quiet and hard as he has always been, but somehow it wasn’t as important
to me anymore. I was happy working at the school, and dreaming of Tommie Stetter,
knowing that someday he would come for me. “Maggie, are you ready? It’s time we
walked up to the church,” I hear my father say from downstairs. It made me feel
no different than I had those many years ago, when either he or my grandmother called.I looked at my guilty face in the mirror
once again. Yes, I did feel guilty, but I was also happy. It has been so long since
I looked into Tommie Stetter’s brown eyes that glisten, I couldn’t help it. I was
sad, but happy, all at the same time. I find that so strange; I never have understood
how I could feel that way. But that is exactly how I am feeling this Sunday morning
as I prepare to walk over to the church and listen to Reverend White speak about
James Stetter. We will all pay our last respects, and then follow the pallbearers
as they carry the coffin to the Eagle
River Cemetery
for the burial. And I know that at some point get a chance to see Tommie. I will
get to look him in the eyes, and he will look at me, and we will know where we are,
where we have been, and where we are going. I will know that my waiting was not
the foolish daydream of a schoolgirl. That what passed between Tommie and me ten
years ago was real. It was as real as all the things that I dream about, and all
the things I believe in, and all the things I live for.Interview
Tell us about your story’s world. What is it like in this
period or place?Today the village
of Central Mine is a ghost
town, with just a few houses and the church left standing. In 1902, when the story
takes place, it was a thriving community of about 1500 mining families, a store,
a school, and of course the mine. Central Mine sat on top of a hill on the Keweenaw
Peninsula in the northernmost tip of Michigan’s
western upper peninsula, it was over twenty miles through the rugged country to
the nearest small city, Calumet, which is still
thrives today.What inspired you to write this book?My father told me about a strange woman who lived across the
street from a house my grandfather had in Central Mine that was used as a hunting
cabin. She was a recluse with wild white hair and a known eccentric who wandered
the countryside during winter and summer, ultimately found frozen to death one winter
morning in a clump of birch trees. Very little was known about her, and what made
her so eccentric. I built a fictional story around her, and included wolves, as
I had raised a pair of them and they were indigenous to the area.Which character in your current book do you think readers
will like the most? Why?Jeremy Paull, because he is a man’s man, but a woman’s man as
well, honest, strong, and with integrity. He is the least flawed of the characters
in the book, all who are good people, but fall into some situations that entrap
them, cause them to act in ways that contradict with the kind of people they are
in their core.Why do you write?Because in fiction conflicts end the way you want them to, not
as in real life as they sometimes have to.Who has helped you the most in your career as an author?Without a doubt my girlfriend Donna, she is my editor and partner.
And I believe good editors are essential to good books, editing is a skill set just
as important as writing.When you write, what things do you want close at hand? (Coffee,
water, chocolate… pictures of gorgeous hunks for inspiration…?)I’m going to have to go with the coffee, uh… gorgeous “hunks”
don’t do much for me.When you’re not writing, what would we find you doing?Perhaps in the kitchen, I like to cook. Cajun food is my favorite,
I have my own secret Cajun spice. My signature dish would be blackened Cajun Roughy
with a lemon parsley gremolata. I’ve also been known to watch a little football.Are you a plotter, or do you prefer to make it up on the spur
of the moment?Neither, I’m a ponderer. I think about a story and the characters
for months, maybe scribble a few notes. And I always have the ending in my head
before I begin. Then I put my characters into situations and the chapters resolve
the conflict but always point towards the ending I already know.Looking back at your first book, what do you wish you had
done differently?Sold it for millions. I had a big agent for the very first book,
the prequel to Alpha Wolves, which has been in print twice, once as Maggie Elizabeth
Harrington and published a second time by a now bankrupt publisher under the title
The Place Between. I think it’s a good story, the agent got it read by many major
publishers, but it was declined, they felt it was too regional to ever become a
major bestseller. I think they’re wrong, and in today’s global publishing world,
a regional story about a young woman and her boyfriend trying to save a pack of
young wolves from a bounty hunter can attract a reading audience. But of course
that’s my opinion. I hold the rights to the book and one day it’ll resurface again.
If I’ve learned anything about life it’s that it tends to repeat itself, it’s all
about duplication.What’s your writing schedule like?Irregular, but I favor mornings, I’m not as sharp after lunch.
True. My best writing seems to be early in the morning. And I don’t think you can
write good prose by spending too much time each day at it, your brain tires and
your prose does with it.Any advice for new authors?Marry somebody rich.What aspect of your life do you write into your books?There’s a little bit of the author in every writer’s characters.
I’m no different. And art does imitate life, we all draw from experiences and change
the facts, and that makes it fiction.When an idea hits you, what do you do to capture it?Write it down in a notebook. If I don’t, I’ll forget it later.If you knew it would be a bestseller, what book would you
write that you might not write otherwise?I believe in animal rights. If you think about it, they lead
miserable, cold starving lives. That’s why I feed feral cats, or anything actually.
There’s a possum that comes to my back stoop and eats food I put out for the cats.
And that’s good with me. I’d like to write a bestseller that brings the treatment
of animals to the attention of the general public.What’s keeping you from writing that book?What makes you think I’m not writing “that book?” I am.What other jobs have you held besides writing?I was a logistics analyst and operations manager in transportation,
and later a 911 operator for a decade.Which of your books was the hardest to write and why?They’re all hard to write. There’s no such thing as an easy book.
I take solace with the thought that If it’s too easy it probably won’t be very good.What are you currently reading for fun? Anything for research?An unpublished mystery novel by a friend of mine.If you could time travel what era would be your first stop?One A.D.Do you believe in luck?I believe in coincidence, as the Hindus say: Given enough time,
it’s inevitable.What kind of music do you listen to while driving? Same question
when writing?Same kind I listen to most of the time, Classic Rock. Favorite
road tune: Bob Seeger, Roll Me Away.Do you play any musical instruments?I used to play the accordion.What is your secret talent?I’m a poet.What’s your favorite movie?The Midnight Cowboy.Are you the eldest, middle, baby, or only child?The eldest.Please complete the sentence
I love pizza with anything.I’m always ready for football.When I’m alone, I am alone.You’d never be able to tell, but I’m a softy.If I had a halo it would be silver.If I could sing I’d have been a musician.I can never complain because I’ve been very lucky.Previous Books

AndersonTell us about yourself.
What are you like?Some would say I’m tenderhearted as in if you’re sick, I’ll bring
you through it. My sister sometimes says I’m growly when I don’t get my way. I tend
to be territorial, so if someone encroaches, I’ll do something about it. I’m alpha
all the way and don’t back down. Kathleen would say I’m possessive, which goes along
with being territorial. I’m a great cook and will even wash the pots and pans. Or
I’ll catch supper even when doing so is dangerous to one’s health. Kathleen thinks
I’m hot and sexy, so if you think you might want to take a waterfall shower alone,
forget that. I’ll wash your back and lots more.What do you think is your
strongest point?Protector of those who can’t protect themselves, or even when
they can!Do you have a weakness?
(If so, what do you think it is? What does your lover think it is? What does your
enemy think it is?)My weakness is Kathleen. She’s human, which means, paws off.
I want her, but I have to fight that which I know I can’t have.Kathleen isn’t sure what my problem is. She knows I really like
her, care for her, lust after her. But something is holding me back, but I can’t
let her in on the secret.My enemies think I’m only human. Only a tourist. Only a man who’s
saddled with two women I must protect at all costs.What drives you to do
the things you do? What makes you want to be the “good guy?”I believe in the simple life—sharing my love of nature with my
sister at their garden nursery in Texas

the bad guys when she was in the Army. Now I’m there to protect her…it’s the nature
of the beast. Protect what’s mine that which is part of my territory.What’s your favorite guilty
pleasure?Cleaning up in the waterfall with a sexy human woman I want to

who get lost in my neck of the jungle.If I had a halo it would be because
I protect those in my territory, no matter what the danger.If I could convince you of how wonderful being a shifter is,
