Insider Information about Character Name

Welcome! We’d like to know more about you. Please add info you’re comfortable sharing.

Age: 31
Gender: Male
Birthplace: Trenton, NJ
Profession: formerly a teacher of English as a second language, now a close protection agent (aka bodyguard)

Please provide a physical description of yourself.

Under the tutelage of my love interest/partner, I’ve begun building up my muscles, though I’ll never be as Adonis-like as he is. I’m six feet tall with brown hair and eyes. Though I’m not really a street fighter, I’d gladly grab the balls of an assailant and squeeze.

What are your pronouns?

He/him/his

How well does your name fit your personality?

As a Jewish baby, I was named after my grandfather Aaron, though my parents wanted a more mainstream name for me, so they picked Aidan. I wouldn’t have minded that name, and I’m kind of sorry that my grandpa shorted the family name from Greenberg. I’m proud of who I am and I wish my name was more reflective of that.

Do you believe in love at first sight?

Was it love, or simply lust, when I first spotted Liam McCullough? He was showering naked in the courtyard behind a bar. Then a day later when he came up to me at that same bar and began to make conversation, I was completely smitten. You can imagine how I felt when I realized he’d mistaken me for someone else! But circumstances brought us together and that early impression I had hasn’t change.

What is your MBTI type?

Sensing/Intuition. Years of working with immigrants struggling to learn English has helped me make connections with people of all cultures and backgrounds. That comes in handy in close protection work.

What is your astrological sign?

I’m a Virgo, organized and pragmatic. Liam approaches everything based on his training as a US Navy SEAL, but he says he appreciates my ability to think outside the box because I don’t have that focus.

Do you enjoy dressing up or prefer to dress casually?

You really have to hold me down to get me to wear a tie—I much prefer microfiber fishing shirts or one with tropical prints, and I will wear shorts every day if the weather merits.

Can you:

Swim? Yes. I learned the SEAL technique for moving smoothly through the water from Liam.
Use chopsticks? Awkwardly.
Roller skate? Not since I was about six!
Ski? I learned when I was in college, but living in Tunisia, and now the French Riviera, I don’t get much chance to practice.
Fly a plane? Nope.
Ride a horse? No. I have been on camels, though.

How good are you with technology?

I’ve had to learn, because so much of protecting our clients is proactive—being aware of what threats are out there and how to outwit them using technology.

If you called your author on the phone, what ringtone would play?

“Jimmy Dreams” by Jimmy Buffett.

What type of music do you like?

I have a real weakness for disco, especially Donna Summer and The Village People.

What is your favorite book?

A Separate Peace by John Knowles. The understated romance between Phinny and Gene really spoke to my heart.

What is your favorite movie?

I love the madcap humor of With Six You Get Eggroll with Doris Day, Brian Keith and George Carlin.

If you could choose a theme song to play when you entered a scene, which one of the following would fit best:

Stirring march
Gentle melody
Hard rock
Uplifting and breezy
Somber and dark

What color best describes you?

Well, with a last name like Greene…

Who is the one person who can convince you to do something you know you shouldn’t?

My husband Liam.
