INTO THE BLACK |
The fabulous Shehanne Moore nominated me for a place in her Character Blog Tour… She and Lady Malice are kind of a hard act to follow. Especially when my ‘subject’ is about as forthcoming as a Trappist monk at a debate. Not that Jack Ballentyne’s a monk. Quite the contrary, if his past reputation for shagging half of London, is anything to go by. Major Jack Ballentyne (British Intelligence Service. Former leader of ‘The Assassins’ a plausibly deniable unit) declines the offer to take a seat, preferring instead, to take up a surveillance position by the window. Be warned, he’s not exactly chatty. In fact, I’ll be grateful to get more than a bad-tempered grunt out of him… JACK: The following are out of bounds: my title, my work, my family. ME: This’ll be a short interview then. JACK’S RESPONSE: A shrug, then a long lazy grin. ME: Of what accomplishment are you most proud? JACK: Still being alive. ME: Ambition? JACK: To receive a telegram from the Queen on my 100th Birthday. ME: Would you call yourself a forgiving man? JACK: You’re kidding, right? ME: Yet you forgave yourself. JACK: Move on. (Man’s sexy when he scowls) ME: What’s the most romantic thing you’ve ever done? JACK: Handcuff my future wife. ME: Bravest thing you’ve ever done? JACK: Ask Lowry to marry me? ME: Motto? JACK: The end justifies the means. ME: Favourite way to keep fit? JACK: Sex. ME: Obsession? JACK: Lowry. ME: Favourite place? JACK: Bed…with Lowry. ME: Favourite food? JACK: Lowry. ME: Favourite game? JACK: Kiss chase…with Lowry. ME: Heaviest guilt? JACK: Lowry… And my brother, Richard. ME: Favourite colour? JACK: Blond ME: Least favourite animal? JACK: Serial killer ME: Favourite mode of transport? And if you say Lowry, I’m telling her. JACK: My Triumph bike…with Lowry. Jack abruptly lets the curtain he’s held aside with his forefinger fall back into place. “Right, that’s it, time’s up.” ME: But…but…but Too late, he’s gone. Lowry was right. Jack Ballentyne is impossible. As you’ll find out when ‘Hard to Forget’ releases in early October 2014. For context, Jack is best friends with Nick Marshall, hero (kind of) in Hard to Hard.

Tracey...like fine wine he improves with time. Hopefully he'll be beyond sublime by the time he's done fermenting. (I'm not going anywhere near the word corks...might mis-spell.)

Well, that's my birthday gift to you sorted, Jane. You can have him for a couple of nights and then give him back.

Shehanne...put down the bottle, and keep the mind above the waist. There, that should help with the balance problems you seem to be experiencing. Of course, I could play around with 'cocking his gun'...but I won't, cos you might fall and hurt yourself. xxxxxx Comments are closed.
