ECFL presents - What a Character on the Christian Book Blog Festival blog tour!

Their Separate Ways (Sacred Vows)Here is the question I have posed to Tony, one of my most complex characters who appears in both Never Without Hope (Sacred Vows, book 1) and the sequel Their Separate Ways (Sacred Vows, book 2.) He will make a final appearance in the third book in the series that will release in 2012. The title is Decision to Love (Sacred Vows, book 3.) 


So here is the question...

Tony, are you a womanizer or just a man who has trouble saying no to beautiful women?


Tony: I do not know why people think because I make mistake and have sex with a beautiful woman who is not my wife (okay, I do this more than one time, but still...) that I am womanizer. I am red-blooded Italian man and in my home country we are pleased with beauty. It is part of my culture, so is hard for me to say no, but I try very hard to be faithful. Is not easy to do in this in United States but I know that faithfulness is important to American women, so I try my best to do this. I cannot help that some women find me attractive. I do not see why this is true, but my accent has gotten me in trouble many times. I hear from many women that a man with accent, especially European, is "hot." When I am nervous around beautiful woman my accent is more strong than when I am just with friends. Is not intentional for me, but is just how it is. I am proud to say I have said no to many beautiful women. So I am not womanizer. I do not look for chance to have sex with someone who is not my wife. This problem finds me, and it is true that sometimes I have hard time saying no when a beautiful woman wants to be with me, but I do say no. A lot. Just not with Hope and someone else who has hurt me so much that I cannot speak her name right now. If you read Their Separate Ways you will find out why this is my problem. My wife, she is crazy, so this makes it much harder to say no to woman who has needs, if you know what I mean. That is all I am saying for now. I do think change is possible for me. I just do not know how to make this change. I think maybe faith in God helps, but this is not for me.

I'm reading Never Without Hope right now. Wow! What a brave book. I applaud you for tackling such a challenging but important subject.

After reading NWH, which is written from Hope's perspective, it was interesting to 'hear' Tony's voice. It was perfect - he just shifted all that blame off of himself onto the women! Typical!

FYI (on a different note) I am reading 'Danger At the Door' and loving it (maybe even more than In Plain Sight) which, by the way, I did not know was a sequel.
In any case, I really like your writing style, and you may have converted me to a romance reader ...

Awesome job, Michelle. What a unique way to express a character. And I LOVE the cover for THEIR SEPARATE WAYS. I'll definitely be checking out these books.
