Guest Blogger: Paul Roebel ~ Character Interview ~ "Playground Antics"

 Character Interview: Paul Roebel, Playground Antics

1. Introduce yourself to our readers. Where do you fit into the story? What should we know about you?

I’m Paul Roebel the mayor of Tyson. As mayor, I take care of my citizens by ensuring their tax dollars buy only the best work. So, many of the contracts are awarded to my longtime friend Tom Hadler’s construction company, H.C. Construction.

Playground Antics revolves around my new Special Projects Coordinator, Beth Collins, and her misguided efforts to award and manage a contract for our new park’s playground. By using “fair” practices instead of our tried-and-true procedures, the contract goes to an upstart company, Falcon Construction.

You should know I’m willing to go to great lengths to ensure my city runs smoothly.

2. What do you think about the author? Tell us everything. We want to know.

Elaine is creative, weaves together interesting characters into a fascinating story, and works in a perfect balance of suspense and romance. On the downside, she only captured the disreputable side of my life and activities.

3. What are your feelings about this story?

The focus of the story was unfairly misdirected away from me, the true hero of Tyson!

Other than that, it’s a well-written romantic suspense.

4. How do you feel about being a character in this book?

I’m a pivotal and necessary character. Without me there would be no Playground Antics.

5. What do you see in your future? (No spoilers please!)

Nothing earth shattering as I’ll be out of touch for a while.

6. Is there a Sequel in the future? Will you be part of it?

I doubt if there’s a sequel. If there was one, it’s doubtful I’d be invited back. For some reason, I’m persona non grata. Go figure.

7. Say a movie producer comes knocking. What actor would you want to play you and why?

I’m leaning toward Billy Zane. Why? His character in Titanic was a misunderstood rich guy, same as me.

A tale of corruption and romance…

A playground project should be fun and safe. Right?

Beth Collins, the new city Special Projects Coordinator, is a dedicated professional navigating the dubious world of city politics.

Jace Sims, an Air Force veteran and owner of Falcon Construction, thought the city’s playground project would be a fun way to support his hometown, so he submitted a bid.

Within this city, the mayor funnels contracts to his friend’s construction company. In direct conflict with the mayor’s expectations, Beth awards her first contract to Falcon Construction.

An unexpected attraction between Beth and Jace intensifies despite treachery and threats against them.

While they work on the high-stakes playground project, they must overcome obstacles and expose the truth behind the shady dealings of the mayor and his friend. Their relationship and justice depend on their success.

Turns out Playground Antics can be playful but dangerous.

Guest blogger: Clint Carpentier ~ Character from Bloody Prairie ~

Welcome Clint Carpentier to our blog today!


 1. Introduce yourself to our readers. Where do you fit into the story? What should we know about you? 

Hi ya, I’m Clint Carpentier. I’m a 17 year old all Canadian boy from small town Saskatchewan, where I letter in football and hockey.

2. What do you think about the author? Tell us everything. We want to know. 
Eh, he’s not so bad for an American. Kind of a kindred spirit, but the southeast and the Canadian prairies are world’s apart in climate to be sure.

3. What are your feelings about this story? 
Rescuing my girlfriend from her two-faced adoptive brother and his lunatic friends was a wild and wooly experience I’ll never forget.

4. How do you feel about being a character in this book? 
I’m glad Ryan decided to write my story. Human trafficking of native women and girls is underreported, and it’s about time someone put pen to paper.

5. What do you see in your future? (No spoilers please!) 
If she’ll say yes, probably marry Meghan.

6. Is there Sequel /another_________ book in the future? Will you be part of it? 
Yes indeed, that’s what I’m hearing!

7. Say a movie producer comes knocking. What actor/actress would you want to play you and why?
Eh, I reckon I’ve been told on occasion I bear a striking resemblance to Graham Phillips 


                                                                    

The Canadian Prairies are a land of endless skies, wild weather extremes, and endemic human trafficking. Saskatchewan high schooler Clint Carpentier takes matters into his own hands when the RCMP drops the ball on investigating the abduction of his native girlfriend. A shocking betrayal and bloodbath leaves Clint fleeing the West for the East, with a bloodthirsty pack of traffickers hot on his tail. His ordeal will end the same as it began: in a hail of lead.
