your favorite villains and paranormal/fantasy books!
I’m very lucky to be interviewing Wallace from STRENGTH by Carrie
Butler!
Tobi:
Hi Wallace nice to meet you! Thanks for agreeing to get together!
Wallace:
Hey, don’t
mention it. Any friend of Rena’s is a friend of mine.
Tobi:
Well, I’ll start with the hard stuff and move slowly to the easy
peasy. Sound good?
Wallace:
Easy peasy... *a
crease forms between his brows as he concentrates* Got it.
Tobi:
Where are you from?
Wallace:
Scion. It’s a
little suburb northwest of Columbus.
Tobi:
What’s your major?
Tobi:
Why did you choose that?
Wallace:
Why do you ask?
Tobi:
Huh?
Wallace:
Sorry, I figured
Rena might’ve told you about the whole not-touching-people thing...
Let’s
just say I’m good with numbers.
Tobi:
Did you grow up going to church? What draws you to the college
church instead of another?
Wallace:
Not really. We
went on holidays, but that was only after Cole and I went to live
with Grandma and Grandpa.
I think I
started going to Campus Fellowship about a month after I transferred
to Wilcox. Someone invited me, and... I don’t know. For the first
time in years, I felt like my hands were clean.
Tobi:
Do you enjoy music? If so, what kind?
Wallace:
Yeah, I listen
to a lot of rock when I’m running. Mostly Shinedown.
Tobi:
Could you pound a nail in a cement wall with your fist?
Wallace:
Only if you want
a hole in your wall.
Tobi:
Now to some twin stuff! I have 2 year old twins so I’m curious
about some stuff!
Tobi:
Did you have a secret language or in my household I call it
“twinspeak”?
Wallace:
Now that you
mention it, we kind of did. It was weird, though.
Tobi:
Are you alike in personalities or complete opposite? My boys are
already showing opposites.
Wallace:
Opposites. Thank
God.
Cole has no
impulse control. Someone gives him a dirty look, he keys their car...
with their own keys... and then takes a leak in the trunk. Don’t
ask me how. Most things he does are beyond me.
Tobi:
Can you communicate without speaking? Like give a look and the other
knows?
Wallace:
Yes, and I’m
pretty sure it’s a public service. You wouldn’t want to hear half
of the things he conveys with his expressions.
Tobi:
Can you tell when something is wrong with the other emotionally or
physically?
Wallace:
Oh yeah. Every
time. A lot of that has to do with my... other
talents, though.
Tobi:
Fast and fun
Wallace:
Great.
Tobi:
M&M’s or Skittles?
Wallace:
Skittles.
Tobi:
Coffee or tea?
Wallace:
Tea, and don’t
look at me like that. Grandma always had a kettle on.
Tobi:
Twitter or Facebook?
Wallace:
I wasn’t on
either of them until someone
made me a Facebook account. Do you know what she did the other day?
Waited until I fell asleep, drew a heart on my abs with marker, and
then wrote “PROPERTY OF RENA” in the middle. Somehow—and
I say this, because she laughs whenever I ask her about it—a photo
got posted from my phone, and now I can’t get it off. I’ve had
eighty-six friend requests since then.
She’s
getting it bad
next time...
Tobi:
Height.
Wallace:
Six-foot-four.
And if you’re wondering, yes, I have over a foot on her.
Tobi:
Eye Color.
Wallace:
Blue.
Tobi:
Fave book?
Wallace:
The Call of
the Wild.
Tobi:
Fave food?
Wallace:
Everything. Have you ever gone to one of those really cheap buffets?
Suddenly, you’ve got tacos stacked on top of pizza in one hand, and
you’re balancing a plate of wings with the other. Rena and I call
that a sweatpants date.
Wallace had me laughing so hard!
Definitely Book Boyfriend material!
What do you think about Wallace?
