Character Interview + Contest: Henry from Catching Jordan

Hitting shelves today is Miranda Kenneally's debut Catching Jordan, and hitting the blog is one of the hottie football boys from the book, Henry. Trust me when I say, you want to get to know Henry. And he is absolutely in my Boy Closet!

But that's not all. Because he's so darn charming, Henry's smiled his way into convincing Miranda to give away a totally marked up, author annotated copy of the book! So let's meet Henry, and then you can find out how to win!


Describe yourself in four words.

Loyal.
Passionate.
Fast (in terms of running speed)
Smart.

So, the title of this book was changed from Score to Catching Jordan. Which did you like best?

SCORE. Obviously.

When Ty first showed up on the scene, what did you think?

How could this guy waltz in and flick a switch in Jordan that I have never been able to flick?

What was your first real kiss like?

When I was 12, I went to a family reunion up in Louisville. No, no, of course my first kiss wasn’t with a distant cousin or anything. You have a naughty mind! Anyhow, my cousin, Tara, invited a few of her friends from school to hang out after the reunion. Tara’s friend Julie and I walked out to my uncle’s barn, to see the new foal, and while we were oohing and ahhing over the baby horse I guess Julie was overcome with emotion because of all the cuteness and attacked me from the side. We fumbled through the first kisses but they were warm and soft and soon I figured it all out, let me tell you. We kissed until my uncle caught us when he came to check on the foal. And then after Julie went home, my uncle proceeded to give me “the talk” right there and then by explaining how the foal was created and came to be born.

Boxers or briefs?

Both. I wear briefs while playing football and baseball but I have a thing for wearing flashy boxers. Read Miranda’s next book if you want to find out more about my adventures in underwear.

Who’s your celebrity crush?

Can I tell you about my man crush? I’m comfortable with myself and my sexuality, so I have no problem telling you that I have a crush on George Clooney. He’s smooth, he’s rich and he reads the paper every day. I want to hang out with him, in hope that his suaveness will rub off on me.

If you were a dinosaur, what kind would you be?

A Velociraptor. I’m fast, I’m smart, and some people are scared of me, but even if they’re scared of me, they can’t look away because I’m just that cool.


Thank you, Henry, for stopping by and sharing your answers.
