Ethan and Nara Interview
The Bookish Brunette interview (part of LUCID’s tour)
Ethan’s interview with Ashley…
Nara!!! Ethan!!! Welcome to The Bookish Brunette! So very glad you could make it today!
Ethan and Nara: *sits down in chairs next to each other* “Thanks for having us, Ashley.”
Ashley: So Nara, how did you and Ethan meet?
Ashley: Ethan, what was it like the first time you saw Nara?
Ethan: “I stopped drawing on my notepad and just stared. Nara just had this…I don’t know…vibe. I was intrigued. I drew a picture of her before we left class that day.”
Nara: *jerks gaze to Ethan* “Really? When was this? I never knew that!” *looks back at Ashley with wide eyes* “He never told me.”
Ethan, Nara, Lainey and Drystan Interview
Refracted Light interview (part of LUCID’s release tour)
Interview with Dani…
Nara and Lainey walk into the room. Ethan steps through the door behind them, followed by Drystan.
Nara: Hi everyone, Dani asked me to stop by her blog and introduce her guests today–
Lainey: Ahem, and I tagged along because you’re not an unbiased party, being all wrapped up in Ethan and all.
Ethan: *smirks at Drystan*
Nara: Uh, Lainey, of course I’m going to give Drystan equal time.
Drystan: *gives Ethan a sly smile*
Nara: Anyway, back to the introductions. *nods toward Ethan*. Welcome Ethan Harris: animal lover, amazing artist, a skilled soccer player and all around good guy…with a few hidden talents.
Lainey: Talents? *glances at Ethan with a slightly suspicious look* Like what?
Nara: *smiles* All good stuff. You’ve even benefited without even knowing it. Now, on to Drystan.

Ethan interviews
Stuck in Books Interview with Valerie (part of BKoD tour)
Ethan’s interview with Valerie…
“Hey Ethan, thanks for talking to me today at the Central Virginia Animal Shelter (CVAS).”
Ethan stands up from bathing a huge Lab/Rhodesian Ridgeback mixed breed. Shaking his dark hair out of his eyes, he acknowledges Valerie with a brief nod. “Sally said you might come back to check things out.”
The dog suddenly shakes, sending suds everywhere. Quickly gripping the Lab’s thick coat to keep him from shaking again, Ethan blows bubbles off his jaw, his expression shuttered. “You probably want to wait up front so you won’t get soaked.”
Valerie could tell he wanted her anywhere but there. She steps forward with a friendly smile. “No worries, I love dogs. Can I help you with them when we’re done talking?”
“You like dogs?” Ethan’s eyebrows shoot up, curious interest lighting his blue gaze. “If you really want to help…” he hands Valerie the sprayer while he holds the dog’s collar. “Now’s a good time. He’s ready to be sprayed down.”
Grasping the handle, Valerie steps close to the dog. “I have two little Dachshund’s. One was a stray and the other I sort of rescued. They are my favorite kind of dog. Do you have a favorite?” She notices that Ethan edges away from her hand when she almost bumped him while running the sprayer across the dog’s neck.
Patting the Lab’s back, Ethan locks eyes with the dog briefly, his reflecting understanding. “I like all kind of dogs. If my brother would let me bring one home, it would definitely be a rescue. There are so many who need good homes.”
Valerie bends to spray the dog’s undercoat, then straightens to run the water across his back. “Animals seem like a good choice for you, considering things. I know that my dogs are my stress relief. What is it about animals that help you?” Click here to read the rest…
Corrie The Book Crazed Girl (part of DESTINY’s tour)
Ethan’s interview with Magen…
Ethan pushes off his black Mustang’s car door, his broad frame blocking the morning sunlight as Magen gets out of her car.
“Thanks for meeting me here for the interview, Magen.” Tugging his hands from his jean pockets, he holds the cafe’s door for her.
“I thought we’d meet here, since it’s not far from where I need to pick up Nara’s Christmas gift. And, if you’re anything like my girlfriend when it comes to coffee, it’ll quickly become a favorite place too.” Click here to read the rest…
