Character Interview - Mindy Mayes from Someone Like You

Welcome Mindy Mayes from Someone Like You. I'm really happy to have you hear and that your creator let you come by for a bit. Picture MM: First I want to thank you for having me, Lacey. I'm not used to doing interviews, so excuse me if I'm nervous.

LW: You're doing fine. I see you're a college student. Where and what's your major?

MM: Yes! I am. I'm attending Kent State University in Kent, Ohio. I'm near the end of my time there, thankfully. As much as I like being in college, I'm not looking forward to the debt. Sigh. But being an art student comes with a price. I'm studying art history. I'd love to teach at the college level, but I don't know if a teaching assistant position is in my future.

LW: What is the draw in dating Arran? He seems so polar opposite to you.

MM: Arran is who he is and no one will make him change. It's funny. I'd drooled over him from across the art history auditorium for so long. I didn't think he knew I was there. Then poof! He asks me out. Strange. But yes, he's my opposite. Very outgoing and talkative. I'd rather read a book, but whatever works.

LW: What do you see yourself doing in ten years time?

MM: I'd love to be teaching art history to a classroom full of students with rapt attention to Greek Art. I'd like to. If you asked my mother, she'd say she sees me married and tugging two squawking children with me everywhere.  This will sound mean, but I am not a kid person, so I highly doubt I'll have kids. Arran is enough immaturity for me. Crazy impulsive man.

LW: You mention Arran being impulsive and immature. Do you think he'll ever grow up?

MM: Sigh. I don't know about him sometimes. He's got so many pressures on him to be what he's not. I can't imagine not being accepted by my family. Is he impulsive? Yes. If he gets it in his head he needs to take a trip to the Rock Hall because he's just got to see the Springsteen exhibit, he'll drop everything to go. Is he immature? Well, I don't know too many guys under the age of 22 that are super mature. He's carefree, young and likes to do what he wants to do, but he's got limits. I still love him.

LW: Okay, no for some fun questions. Rapid fire!

MM: (Giggle). Shoot.

LW: Sexiest man alive?

MM: Sean Connery

LW: Song that makes you want to dance?

MM: I Like It by Enrique Iglesias.

LW: Favorite book you've ever read.

MM: Oh man. I've read so many it's hard to choose. Um. Hmm. Wild Card by Lora Leigh.

LW: Dream Job and the place you'd be least likely to work.

MM: Dream Job would be a full professorship at Kent teaching Art.  Least likely would be Ronan's Grille. The Guy is a sleaze.  But I have no idea what the future holds, so maybe saying I wouldn't work there is a jinx.

LW: Well, that's all the questions I have right now. Thanks for being here. I said you'd do fine. Grin. If you'd like to read more about Mindy and Arran, grab a copy of Someone Like You. You can get it here:  http://www.total-e-bound.com/product.asp?strParents=&CAT_ID=&P_ID=1513
