An
interview with Jack Charles Larsen.
I’m
sitting down with attorney extraordinaire, Jack Larsen. We’re inside his Malibu
beach house, and may I say…wow!
Mr
Larsen is wearing beige shorts and a white polo shirt, looking handsome and
big! Very well built!
Me:
Hi, Jack. Thanks for allowing me to stop by and talk to you.
Jack:
No problem.
Me:
Well! Needless to say you’re a fan favorite. I think they like your stability
in a very unstable group of men.
Jack:
(chuckles) Yeah, that’s me. Mr Stable.
Me:
(reads from my notes) Right! Most of your fans know all about your career,
doing pro bono work, helping the community, but tell us more about what you
enjoy most?
Jack:
(crosses legs) Uh…well, I’m trying to get away from family law and more into
civil liberties. The pay may be a little less, but my conscience is clearer.
Me:
I get that. Okay, onto Mark.
Jack:
(chuckles again but appears uncomfortable) Yes. Mark. The model who can’t seem
to get out of his own way.
Me:
Come on. You love him. We know you’d be lost without him.
Jack:
Yes. I would be. Mark and I are as close as brothers. Maybe closer.
Me:
Have you and Adam managed to get over the anger from Mark divorcing Steve?
Jack:
Yes. Look, Steve isn’t the baby kind. I get why Mark needed Stan. Adam? Well,
he’s harder to please than I am. But, Adam is coming around a little more.
Me:
Adam Lewis. He’s another fan fav. They love their talent agent.
Jack:
(smiles) What’s not to love? He’s an amazing man. I’m very lucky.
Me:
Any long range plans for you? Anything coming up on the horizon?
Jack:
Ya know? Just trying to keep sane in Mark’s world is tough enough. But, I have
to admit I enjoy the estate. Adam and I discuss possibly moving north to
Paradise and living there.
Me:
Blake Hughes, the fireman, has already taken the leap north. It looks like he
may stay on as Isaac’s nanny.
Jack:
Yes. He loves that kid. With his bad back, and Sierra’s cooking, I can’t blame
him. Hunter is also considering the move north.
Me:
Do you like your nicknames? Jackie-blue and He-man?
Jack:
(laughs) Sure. I don’t mind.
Me:
You’re so damn easy going.
Jack:
I try to be. Life’s too messy to add to the chaos.
Me:
How do you feel about this whole Sharon Tice-Hill fiasco?
Jack:
(a look of consternation appears) (Jack rubs his face, as if I have hit a sore
spot.) She’s asking for trouble. I have no idea why she thought seducing Mark
in a church was a good idea.
Me:
It must have been. He made love to her. Mark doesn’t screw around much anymore.
Jack:
That…I do know. He won’t make love to me or Adam. Or Steve, for that matter.
Me:
Loyalty’s a good thing, right? So? About Sharon?
Jack:
I guess I keep hoping the baby isn’t Mark’s. I know Mark wants a son from her.
It was the reason he proposed to her in the first place. But, if this kid is
his? The mess is going to create a lot of anger.
Me:
Like catching fire?
Jack:
(his eyebrows become expressive at my intended pun) Yes, Ms Hauser. Like that.
Me:
Any last word to the fans that adore their He-man and his hubby Adam?
Jack:
Keep reading. The calm you are feeling at the moment is before the storm.
Me:
Yes. They’ve been floating on a Paradise high lately. After the big divorce
they were very angry.
Jack:
Marriages fail. It’s not that unusual. In my opinion? Steve’s happier now than
he’s been in a long time, even though his helicopter pad is on permanent hold.
(Jack grins and then laughs)
Me:
I think Steve’s in a better place too, with Tadzio. Thanks, Jack, for taking
the time to sit down with me for a few minutes.
Jack:
No problem. I enjoyed it. Special thanks to the fans and readers of the series.
Having over 40 novels in this series is daunting. Kudos for those loyal enough
to hang in there.
Me:
Loyalty. Maybe that’s why Mark calls you Jackie-blue, because you’re true.
Jack:
(stares at me with his blue eyes) You’re a dork.
Me:
Been called worse. Thanks again.
And
that wraps up my interview with Jack Larsen!
