Name: Xavier Froye Easton

Age: 21

Status: Alive

As an ex-spy relying on seduction and intelligence, Xavier was no stranger to life threatening situations. 

However, social relationships was something he had struggled with since forever. 

Utter chaos happens when both of these collide.

Living-in with Grayson was the dream he never thought he'd achieve, so of course, it all had to spiral away. 

Reznick hasn't forgiven Xavier for destroying his business. Hot on his trail, he is determined to end him and everything that he holds dear. He struggles in his new relationship, still unable to come to terms with the newfound normalcy of his life. 

He faces lethal situations at every turn. An inkling tells him that everything is not as it seems at his university. To further complicate matters, an irresistible blonde version of him threatens to jeopardize his heart. His haunting past returns to him, threatening to strangle him.

The entire world crashes on him, pushing him to the breaking point. He is close to caving in. The unseen dangers lurk in the corner.

But then, there's a reason why they call him the best in the business.

Interviewer: 

Hi, I'm Shamma. I call myself Whiggy and others call me Sam. What about you?


I'll stick to booklored or the occasional shruggie birdie because of my profile picture :")

❂

Okay, booklored When did you join Wattpad?


I joined in March 2020 :)
Although I have been an on and off reader previously, this is when I actually started writing properly.

❂

What drove you to start writing your own story?


I have had ideas in my mind to write a story ever since I can remember. The prospect of sharing my stories with others got me excited and interested to write my own! In fact, childhood shows like Winx Club were a massive fuel to my creativity XD

❂

You must be really passionate about writing. Did you like it as a child as well or was there a kind teacher who encouraged you to write?
To the contrary, my teachers had been rather uninspiring in terms of writing. Mainly because the passages that I had to write in exams often exceeded word limit and were way too much 'story like' than what they were looking for. It's a Draconian education system. It's mainly been my own love for it, and yes, I am passionate about it. How much it translates into my work, though, I don't know XD

❂

XD I've had the same experience with my teachers, actually. I never succumbed to the poor teacher's request.

 Your story, Xavier, is a sequel to your previous completed book, Sugar Baby. Can you tell me about the world you've built through the two stories?

That is honestly the worst. 

 Ooh glad you asked! Sugar Baby follows the story of an unapologetically provocative secret agent, a 'homme fatale', who uses his intelligence and seduction to lure secrets out of the criminals spanning from drug lords to lethally sexy billionaires. 

 However, Xavier is in love with Grayson, his partner in the crime department that he works for. His love is unrequited. 

The first story follows Xavier on a mission to bust a billionaire Rosalie while the second focuses more on his own personal life and growth. Xavier exudes a confidant facade that we all wish we had, and ye,t has crippling insecurities stemming from his traumatic past and line of job, which basically compels him to sell everything from his body to his soul. Only his heart remains untouched.

❂

I love how you're not only exploring external conflicts, but internal conflicts as well. Do you intend on making Sugar Baby/Xavier a series?
Thank you! Onion-like characters are my jam XD

 It's a duology so far but yes I do have an idea for a third part! Xavier is only 21 and even though he is a brilliant agent, there are certain things he can be rather immature and childish about. The third book will focus on Xavier finally becoming the butterfly that he is!

❂

UwU, looking forward to it!

 You pay great attention to your characters, thus building a rich plot through them. What is the greatest difficulty you've faced while building your characters?

Thank you so much! That's very kind of you to say ❤️ 

 I suppose the greatest difficult would be making them realistic and really understanding their psyche. Glad that you asked this question, though! I actually had to take the advice of a close writer friend in order to understand Xavier's psyche since she is more experienced in certain things and I think it paid off!

❂

No problem, and your friend's very kind for helping you :) What song do you think fits Xavier's personality?

Just gotta say that it really paid off <3 
Aaaah, what an interesting question! I cannot fit his adorable, sexiness, childishness, intelligence and capability to love and persevere in a single song for sure.

 Even so, whenever I used to write any of his thrilling action scenes or his seduction scene, Doja Cat's 'Boss Bitch' kept playing in my head and I can't stop it :") Thank you!!

❂

AAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHH 

Sorry XD I love that song

 If you were to live in Xavier's world, what kind of character will you be? Will you be an adorable, sexy, childish, intelligent, and capable character? XD

AAAAAHHHHHHH TOTALLY UNDERSTANDABLE 

 Agent Xavier is legit my alter ego. Baby Xavier, as in when he's not an agent, is much closer to me, I would say. I won't call myself adorable, sexy, childish :P but I do like to think I have an alright intelligence ;)

❂

Well, I'd say if the characters are intelligent, the author is as well. 

What/who is the greatest source of inspiration for your stories?

Haha XD Thank you, I suppose hehehehehe

 Is it okay to say that it's 'love' is or is that too cheesy? 

 I got really inclined into writing Sugar Baby after a harrowing experience of watching Call Me By Your Name. The movie made me fall in love with the idea of love, with a thrilling twist of course XD 

 With Sugar Baby, my motivation was to write a love story as opposed to a 'gay' love story. So that when people read it, they see that it is merely two hearts that love each other and that the bodies simply find ways to express that ❤️ D*mn, so much cheese I'm drowning-

❂

AHHHHHHH CHEEESSSYYYY XD 

Hehe, but in all honesty, I agree with your point of view. Many of the movies that feature LGBTQ+ characters focus on their sexuality only, as if they don't have personalities- and the endings are absolute sh*t.

 I kinda wanna see your duology turned into a film. 

Do you imagine Xavier to become a blockbuster film, or do you want it to reside cozily in Wattpad only?

Yes omfg LOUDER FOR PEOPLE IN THE BACK- Your sexuality is a PART of you, it ISN'T you. 

On that note, Xavier doesn't really care at all XD he's pansexual

 Wooohaaaa omg 

 Honestly, who would say no to that? XD

 I don't even want the money, I would love to see Grayson and Xavier's love story onscreen due to several reasons, and the most prominent of that would be because of how toxic relationships and toxic masculinity has been popular in entertainment culture lately. Abuse has been romanticized while it is demonic to go through.

 I have had people comment 'thank you for reminding us that romance can be sweet' on Sugar Baby and that is the most rewarding thing. Xavier's love is respectful, sweet, sweltering and sexy at the same time ;) won't that be fun to watch for a change? XD

❂

Awwww *cries* It's sweet that your readers are acknowledging the message you're trying to send them. That means you're doing your part thoroughly well. 

AND YES OMG. IT WOULD BE A VERY WELCOME CHANGE XD

 If you could meet an author, deceased or living, who would they be?

Thank you ❤️

 I like to think so too <(￣︶￣)> In all honesty though, it's humbling that my readers care for Xaby so much 

 IKR!! 

 OOOH! Well, there are so many I would love to meet! Stephen Hawking! That would be inspiring. I would also love to meet JK Rowling and ask her why she didn't give Remus Lupin and Sirius Black a happy ending because LORD KNOWS THEY DESERVE IT

❂

HAHAHA I SWEAR- so many people will agree with you on the Wolfstar happy ending. Praying that Jk listens to you. How would you feel if someone wanted to meet you because you're their favorite author? 

Possibly scratch myself awake :") That is a utopian dream I would say XD It would feel surreal, but there could be no greater compliment; that my story touched them so much that I became their favourite author? Well, Sugar Honey Ice Tea- I would be ecstatic and possibly adopt that person ❤️

❂

LMAOOOOO XD You better prepare the adoption papers cause that day is coming .

This is the end of our interview. I've enjoyed this time with you so much. All the best with your writing career ♥

Pshhhhhh Uuu fLattErEr mAma!!! Same! It was a pleasure and thank you so much!! 

❂

XD No problem :) ♥
