Character Interview Tear Sheet
Character: Angel
Book: The Angel and The Captain
Inspired By A Real Person: Yes, someone Kaitlyn K knows
Q: In the book, you are referred to as both Angel, the name the Captain has for you, and Biscuit, a childhood nickname first used in the book by your father, whom you meet for the first time in your late 20’s. What’s your real name?
A: I’m not telling! It was never really important to the story, so it was never mentioned so there is no reason for me to blab it here. As I recall, it was used once in an early draft, but it didn’t make the cut. The name, though, was the real name of the girl who inspired my character.
Q: What did you think of the name Biscuit?
A: Shrugging. I dunno. I suppose it’s adorable for a toddler. I don’t really remember being called Biscuit regularly. Sometimes when I was a girl, but that was mainly aunties and that tapered off after Dad left.
