Character Interview - Ryan from The Descendant by S.J. McMillian

1.       Tell us the name of the book you are in and a bit about it.

The book is called “The Descendant” and it tells the story of a young woman who is very dear to me, Katalina Deckard. In it, Katalina finds out that her ancestors had been some sort of protectors of humanity. Kat is a person. I’d do almost anything for her. We were together for a while, but sometimes thing don’t work out, and you just have to move on to the next girl.

2.       Where do you fit into the story?

I’m Kat’s ex. I know, the bad guy, right? No. I’m not the bad guy. I’m not even A bad guy. But I get more of a role in the story than I’m comfortable with, actually.

3.       Did you ever think your life would end up being in a book?

Yeah, actually I did. In high school I was voted “Most Likely to Appear in a Novel or a Series of Short Stories”. And yeah, I can see the draw of adding me to any tale. Every story needs a little clever testosterone.

4.       What do you like to do when you’re not being actively read?

I stay in shape, get a lot of mirror time, and meet more women by having the girls I’m dating introduce me to their friends.

5.       Are you currently in a relationship?

I am. I’m in at least one relationship…

6.       What is your least favorite characteristic the author has attributed to you?

I’m not really comfortable with how my life and storytelling have been characterized as boring. No, it’s quite exciting. In fact, I was just telling some of my closest friends how exciting my life is earlier today.

7.       And the most favorite?

She was spot on about how into myself I am.

8.       Do you have any secret aspirations that your author doesn’t know about?

Yes I do. I actually have some independent business dealings I haven’t told anyone about. They stand to be fairly lucrative. But, the market being what it is, I’m not going to go into all my wheelings and dealings. Information is capital, and I’m going to hold onto mine.

9.       How do you see your future?

I know that “up in the air” is cliché. But my future is. Really, I see myself as the guy who tries to convince everyone that he’s going to save the day, and then does in fact save the day.

10.   Do you know the authors plans? Can we expect to see you in future stories?

I don’t know the authors plans exactly. But I’m thinking, why would she want to have me interviewed if I’m not going to be in other stories? Am I right? Of course I’m right.

11.   If this book was made into a movie, who would you want to play you, and why?

Jude Law or the Robert Downey Jr. of ten years ago. Both of them come somewhat close to how much onscreen charm I would have if I got to play myself.
