Thanks so much for having me here on Fresh Fiction. Iโm a
huge fan of your site. Iโm excited to be celebrating the release of my book, Story of Us. In the
book, Sophia Strombi is the younger sister of a lifelong friend of Declan James. That isnโt the
only thing thatโs supposed to keep her off limits for his heart; he also hires her to be the
manager of his pub, On Dec. With a background in marketing and promotion, Sophia is eager
to bring in new business for the local establishment. One of her ideas is to bring in a speed
dating company. I thought, for this post, it might be fun to have both of my main characters
answer a โspeed datingโ questionnaire.
Iโve selected ten questions from an online questionnaire that
Iโll put below and answer in character for each of the questions. Letโs see how well suited they
are after the fact!
Sophie Strombi
1. What makes you happy/sad/angry?
Creating a really successful marketing campaign
makes me happy professionally. Personally, being with my family and just sitting back and
watching them all interact with each other brings me a sense of happiness. It makes me sad
when I feel like Iโve let people down and it makes me angry when people try to make my
decisions for me.
2. Where are you from originally?
I was born and raised in Brockton Point, Maine. I left
when I was eighteen to find bigger and better but now Iโm home to stay.
3. What kind of music do you like?
Iโm pretty flexible. I enjoy listening to an eclectic mix
of rock, folk, pop, and country. I guess it depends on the activity. If Iโm working out or
cleaning, I need something high energy.
4. What song best sums you up?
That is a tough question! Iโm going with Brown Eyed
Girl. It fits and itโs a happy song.
5. What would be your ideal holiday destination?
Iโd love to go to Hawaii. The beaches look incredible.
6. What's the most reckless thing you've ever done?
Leaving home at 18 without a solid plan of where I
was going and how I was going to get there.
7. What makes you laugh?
My nieces and nephews.
8. If you could live anywhere in the world where would it be?
Well, I had my chance to choose and here I am, back
in Brockton. So I guess, right here.
9. Exploring or lazing on the beach?
Can I say both?
10. DIY or call an expert?
If I can handle it, I will. Iโm not opposed to an expert
if itโs outside my abilities.
Declan James
1. What makes you happy/sad/angry?
My friends and my godson make me happy. I donโt
think Iโve been sad a lot but when someone else is hurting, I guess. Iโm pretty even-keeled so
itโd be the same answer for anger.
2. Where are you from originally?
Right here in Brockton Point.
3. What kind of music do you like?
My preference would be classic rock but Iโve had
some musical acts playing at my pub that have pushed me into some other genres like
country.
4. What song best sums you up?
Wow. Great question. Iโm going to go with one that I
have on repeat lately. Burning Man.
5. What would be your ideal holiday destination?
Anywhere hot with nice beaches.
6. What's the most reckless thing you've ever done?
Ha. Iโm not sharing that.
7. What makes you laugh?
My friends. My customers. Youtube.
8. If you could live anywhere in the world where would it be?
Iโm exactly where I want to be.
9. Exploring or lazing on the beach?
A little bit of both.
10. DIY or call an expert?
Expert once I realize I canโt DIY.
Hope you enjoyed their answers. Give it a try with your
significant other and see how well you match. ;-)ย
