Character Interview

  1. Tell us a little about yourself. Who are you and what role do you play in Alpha Rockstar?

My name is Marcus and I am the lead singer for the metal band, Attack Ships on Fire. I'm also the band's manager and am a bit of a control-freak when it comes to the perception of the band and myself on stage. I'm originally from Germany but moved to the States when I was a young teenager. I guess you could say that I inherited my father's rigid attention to detail. Though I can speak English fluently, my thick accent made it difficult to fit in after moving. Music gave me a focus and helped me to bury the uncomfortable elements of my past. Why focus on the past when you must plan for the future?

  1. What’s the challenge you are trying to overcome in the story?

My music career is my life. It has always been my goal to become the best musician I can be and to give my audience a performance they will always remember. With all that, however, there is a missing element. The victories in my career have always felt hollow, because there is no one with whom I can share them...No one who truly knows me. I have a difficult time letting others in and being on the road makes it difficult to form the kind of relationship that I crave, so I guess it's my own fault. I also don't want to make the same mistakes that I did in the past and becoming vulnerable, opening myself up to someone else, well it can lead to a lot of pain…

  1. Name one thing you want and how far you are willing to go to get it.

I want to be recognized as the top artist in metal. It's a goal that I have worked toward my entire life and I've cut out people from my life, and resisted the temptations that come with the lifestyle in order to achieve it. If a member of the band needs to go or I need to make false promises to win a business negotiation, I'll burn every bridge I have if it helps me reach my goal.

  1. Tell us something about yourself that would surprise us.

Although I do my best put on the rock star persona on stage, I actually despise the reckless lifestyle of booze, drugs, and women, that permeates the industry. Blame it on my controlling nature, but I feel that I must abstain from these things in order to keep my mind focused on my music.

Author Bio:



Emma Rose is quickly rising as a new author with a lot to offer. She specializes in the steamy romance genre with popular series THE BILLIONAIRE'S PROPOSAL, TAKING STAGE, THREE, and STRIPPED. She self-published her first book in 2011 and has since risen to a Top 100 author in Amazon's Erotica category, among others. Part of her quick rise can be attributed to her small, but growing, group of fans who promote her work and offer her feedback as Beta Readers, an offer she extends to potential fans at the end of each of her works. Interested fans can apply to her beta reader program and receive one of her works for free through her website: http://emmaroseromance.com/beta/
Rose says she is from 'lots of places,' having lived in various parts of the United States, New Zealand, Italy, and the United Kingdom. Below, Rose details how she became a writer (from her website):
One question that I'm frequently asked is how did I get into writing?
​Looking back, it's hard to believe just how much has changed in the past few years. I never gave serious thought to being a full-time writer and chalked it up as just another unattainable 'dream job' right along with being an astronaut or a professional underwater basket weaver.
I started writing creatively at a very young age...somewhere around age eleven or twelve. These early writings were nothing I'd ever share publicly (because, frankly, they are quite horrible!). However, it was the beginning of what I like to refer to as the "itch."
Just what is the itch? It starts out as a very dull, barely noticeable tickling in the back my head and is usually sparked when I ask myself "What if..." It is here that the itch grows a little stronger and is harder to resist. My fingers begin to twitch in anticipation at the prospect of taking the idea that's been bouncing around in my head and putting it into something coherent...making it able to be experienced by others.
While I never pursued writing in a serious manner, the 'itch' remained with me through to adulthood. In college, I had just enough space to squeeze in a creative writing class even though there was no benefit to my degree to do so (I blame it on the 'itch!').
And wow...For the first time in my life I had an excuse to use creative writing as an outlet again. Somewhere along the way I had fallen into the rut of settling for the practical and this one decision had me excited about life again.
Sadly, the creative writing class ended and I went back to completing my degree. After college, finding a steady job, even one that paid peanuts, was a difficult prospect. My diet consisted of peanut butter sandwiches and ramen noodles.
On a late-night whim, I decided to join Amazon's self-publishing platform and submitted some of my creative writing pieces from college. These went on to be available for purchase in Amazon's Kindle store. I promptly forgot completely about it until one day, about three months later, I received a check in the mail from Amazon.
Now it wasn't that much, mind you, but when I realized that the money Amazon had sent me came from people who had purchased my work, I was ecstatic! In the little time I had off between my three part-time jobs, I wrote. And wrote. And wrote some more.
Over the course of about six months, my self-published works went from earning me a meal out every month to making more than all of my other jobs combined. It was then that I decided to make the leap to writing full-time.
This was a very big deal for me, because as I mentioned at the beginning of this post, being a writer just didn't seem like a reachable thing...It seemed so absurd (and still does) that I have moments where I sit back and think about just how amazing this journey has been.
Sure, there have been ups and downs, but I am forever grateful to my fans who continue to support my writing. It's because of them (and you, too, since you're reading this post) that I can continue to scratch my 'itch' and create new stories for you to explore.
