Name: Amelia Noelle Hamilton.
Age: 23.
Location: Enumclaw, Washington.
Hi Amelia! Can you introduce yourself for the readers please?
My name is Amelia Hamilton. I'm 23-years old with dark hair and hazel eyes. I'm a Capricorn, a klutz, and a vegetarian. You want me to be more specific? Did I mention my grandfather faked his own death? Now, he's resurfaced and is trying to kill me.
So... Tell us about yourself.
Believe it or not, there are two underground agencies in my life: the Physician Coalition and the Insurance Agency. To make it simple, they're the good guys and the bad guys, but I'm caught somewhere in-between. My days feel like I should live inside a comic book wearing spandex and a cape. Seriously. The situations I endure are not pretty and a lot of them involve death.
What's a day in your life like?
In my old life? I worked at a diner for a money-hoarding Italian named Lorenzo. When I was fired, I thought it was the worst day of my life. Now, friends and family are dropping like flies around me. At this point, any day is a blessing where I can stay alive and not to have to attend another funeral.
Describe yourself in five words.
Stubborn. Naïve. Clumsy. Apprehensive. Determined.
How would others describe you? (In five words).
That's going to vary with who you ask! I'll go with loyal, sincere, clumsy, driven and trustworthy.
Do you have an anthem for your life? And by that I mean a song.
In Embracing Hamilton? What I've Done by Linkin Park. I make some serious mistakes in this story. I'll never be able to wash my hands of one of them.
What film title sums up your life at the present moment and why?
Clear and Present Danger. Each day, it's harder to stay alive in my world. Noose can't even protect me these days. If you want to know who Noose is, you'll need to read the story.
What book titles sums up your love life at the present moment and why?
At the beginning of Revealing Hamilton? Torn by Christine Hughes. I'm torn about a few men in mu life at this point in the story.
What motivates you?
Keeping my grandfather alive while he's trying to kill me. My life truly is a double-edged sword.
What's your aim in life?
To find out what happened to my family and how to rid myself of this curse.
What's your biggest fear?
Needles and mosquitoes. I don't know which is worse.
What do you consider your greatest achievement to date?
I don't want to give away any of the story so I'm going to be vague. My brave effort to try and protect a certain little boy.
Who do you admire the most?
I admire Donovan's family a lot. They've stuck together through thick and thin. When I was in various foster homes, they were like a second set of parents to me.
You're having an intense spring clean, in the middle of summer. What is easy to throw away? What is hard to part with?
Easiest to throw away? Probably anything from Connor. The hardest thing for me to part with isn't tangible. It's my past. Regardless of the season, it's always going to be there to haunt me. Oh! Here's something tangible. I won't let go of my birth certificate. It's the only proof my true last name is Hamilton. My grandfather has insiders working for the state, They try to change my name all the time. Bunch of jackasses...
What would I find in your refrigerator right now?
I'm hungry... Anything without meat. I'm a vegetarian. If you read pRevealing Hamilton, you'll learn what happened in my childhood that made me dislike poultry.
