Character Interview: Geneva Scott from White Rogue by Stephen Langford
Stephen Langford, one of the authors of White Rogue, has agreed to help us interview one of the more unusual characters from the novel, Geneva Scott. (If you've been living under a rock and haven't heard of this book before, click HERE.)
SL: Geneva, why don’t you give us a little background on how you got into the business of working under contract for the CIA?
Geneva: Are you %#$*%* kidding me? I told you there are some questions I can’t answer. Ask me another one like this and you’ll have trouble leaving here.
SL: Okay. Okay. How long have you been a contractor?
Geneva: I’ve been doing this for about 7 years on and off. It’s pretty fulfilling work.
SL: Are you telling me that you get satisfaction from killing people.
Geneva: Are you stupid? Do you think I’m going to tell you that I have killed people? Let’s just say that I like variety in the assignments that I take. I like the power, the rush I get from manipulating my targets and bringing my best assets into play in acquiring the desired result.
SL: Are you telling me that you use sex to trap guys?
Geneva: You figure it out.
SL: How has your work for the government impacted your life?
Geneva: Since there’s no shortage of bad boys in the world, I manage to make a decent living and that’s important to me because I’m married and have two great kids.
SL: Really? How does your husband handle what you do? I mean …
Geneva: Listen, Steve, you may be a good writer but don’t think you can figure out everything there is to know about me. My family, my husband are my business. I think we’re done here. Now you tell everyone to get White Rogue and read about me; after all, I am one of the most intriguing characters.
