What’s in your character’s pockets, backpack, or purse?
What does your character always carry?
Hailey always carries a bottle of anti-anxiety pills in her purse. Since her husband passed away in a fire, she is trying to keep herself together as best as she can for her children. With different men showing up at her door, she never knows when she’s going to need one.
Is there an item your character carries for good luck and if so, what is it?
Hailey carries a rose petal in her purse next to a mysterious picture she found in her husband’s car. The petal brings her security and hope. Her husband Mark used to bring her roses after an argument. Their last argument was a doozy. He never returned, but she kept one of the rose petals from the bouquet that arrived the day of the fire.
Does your character carry money and if so, in what form (cash, credit, etc.)?
Money’s tight for Hailey. As an adjunct professor, her income is limited. The little amount of cash she carries is spent on counseling fees for her kids’ sessions and daughter’s dance classes. Hailey uses a credit card for groceries and gas and pays the bills with a bottle of wine at the end of the month.
What does your character carry related to a job or calling?
Hailey carries an attaché case to transfer her lecture notes and students’ paperwork to and from the university. With all of her distractions and memory issues having the attaché case is helpful to keep something in order. The bag is large enough to stuff her lunch bag inside, too—as long as she doesn’t forget to pack her lunch!
What is one thing your character wouldn’t be caught dead carrying?
Hailey won’t be caught dead carrying a street drug. Her first son died from drugs and now her other son is hanging around with the wrong crowd. She has reason to freak out when she finds a mysterious pill in the hallway.
Does your character ever carry things for other people? (like a mom with toys, etc.) Hailey has the biggest beach bag for her kids’ swimwear, sunscreen, beach towels and flipflops when they go on outings.
Questions for the Character to Answer About the Author

- Becker won’t leave home without her purse and cell phone!
What does your author dislike carrying but has to?
Extra plastic bags to pick up after her dog when she drives to the park.
How organized is your author’s backpack / purse?
Her purse is a total study in clutter. I don’t know how she crams so much into such a small bag.
What does your author prefer to use when it comes to items like backpacks / purses?
Purses. Bigger is better, up to a limit. She doesn’t want to look like she’s carrying a suitcase onto an airplane.

To honor the person who chose to share your story, please answer at least four of these questions. Questions with more than one point should be considered one question. You may answer as many more as you like.
What do you wish your writer had not told others about you?
I can’t believe my writer wrote about my traumatic teenage years. How embarrassing! It’s hard enough keeping my past from my husband and in-laws. Now the whole world knows the torture I’ve endured. Ugh!
Why do you think your writer loves to write?
I think C Becker likes to cause friction in my relationships. She utilizes my personality and background to create a compelling plot.
What do you wish your writer would write next?
I wish C Becker would focus on how happy Mark and I are after this story ends and stop digging into our secrets. I would imagine a great romance blossoming with no conflict. Ah. If only life was that easy…
What other character from your book do you think your writer should write a book about? Care to tell us why?
I would like C Becker to write a story about Parker, let him find happiness. I’ve know Parker since I was seventeen. The guy deserves someone who can love him. Parker reminds me of the man who loses everything and walks off into the sunset. I wish David would find someone, too. He needs a woman who can put up with his big personality.Tell us about Finding Euphoria
