Character Interview with Harley Martin

What is your name?

Harley Martin

Why were you given that name?

My father rode a Harley. I might have even been conceived on it. I don’t know and I don’t want to know. *Cringes*

What is your hair color and style, eye color, and skin tone?

I have long black wavy hair that I generally keep down, blue eyes, and lightly bronzed skin.

How do you feel about your appearance? Favorite / most hated features?

I don’t think I’m bad looking, but I don’t think I’m god’s gift to men either. I’m satisfied with my appearance, flaws and all. As far as my favorite feature, from what I’ve been told I have a very nice behind. *Smirks* I have a love/hate relationship with it myself. Mainly when it comes to buying jeans.

Who are your parents?

My mother’s name is Delphinne Martin, she was born and raised just outside of New Orleans. I don’t actually know my father. The only thing I know about my dad is what my mother told me. He was a gorgeous Brazilian man with beautiful dreads and he rode a Harley. She met him one Mardi Gras when she was younger, hooked up, and got knocked up with me. Never even got the man’s name. Yep, my mom is a bit of a free spirit.

What is your relationship status at the start of the story?

At the very beginning? Engaged. That ends rather quickly.

How do you think your exes would describe you?

It depends on who you are talking to. My most recent one would probably describe me as an evil bitch.

Do you have any irrational fears / phobias?

Don’t laugh, but identical twins freak me the hell out.

What is your worst habit / vice?

I’m a bit of a foodie. Admittedly I am sometimes a bit too vocal when I enjoy my food.

How do you feel about being the center of attention?

I hate being the center of attention. I’d much prefer to blend in. At least lately. 

What is the driving force / motivation in your life?

To be free to figure out who I am and what I want in my life. Not have anyone else tell me what or who they think I should be.

What do you believe happens when you die?

You die. That’s it. I don’t really believe in spirits, ghosts, or the afterlife. When we die, we die.

What belief / person / institution would you die to defend?

I would die to protect my loved ones. My mom, my friends. If me dying could save them, I would do it.

What makes your blood boil?

Being told what to do. I don’t like people trying to control me.

How would you behave when cornered / bullied?

I would fight back. Even if I didn’t think I was going to win.

Blurb

Stumbling off the bus in Midtown, Harley Martin thought she found an escape from her old life.

She soon realizes it was anything but that.

Low on cash and options, she manages to find herself a cheap but surprisingly nice apartment. The catch? The last tenant, Brody Walsh, killed himself.

Or did he?

As disturbing dreams and hauntings start to occur, Harley realizes there may be much more behind the previous tenant’s death than a simple suicide. She finds her life further entangled with his when she learns that her new boss, Nolan, was also his best friend. Could this handsome but evasive pub owner have something to do with Brody’s death?

Trying to piece together the events surrounding Brody’s death proves to be a daunting task, but Harley can’t give up. Brody won’t let her. He is still in the apartment with her, trapped in limbo until she finds his killer.

But he’s not waiting for revenge.

Harley’s next.

 

Blurb

Brody Walsh’s life is left in disarray when his girlfriend is found brutally raped and murdered. But it completely shatters when his best friend, Nolan is arrested for the crime.

Even as the media is portraying him as a monster, Brody knows Nolan isn’t capable of murder.

That leaves the question: Who is?

Once the trial begins, Brody discovers just how little he knew about his girlfriend, spurring him to dig into her past for possible answers. And as Aggie, his long time confidant and childhood crush, stands by his side through all of this, he finds his own past resurfacing when his feelings for her reignite. But as the media and the prosecutors close in on Nolan, ready to convict him for a crime he didn’t commit, Brody will be forced to make a choice.

A choice that will lead to his untimely death.
