I’d like to welcome Roxy to the Self-Rescue Princess.
1. Please tell us a little bit about what is currently going on in your life?
Well, it’s Christmas in Honey Springs.
Our town’s annual Christmas in the Park is underway and includes a Christmas Pawrade that’ll help the furry residents at Pet Palace get a home for Christmas.
I’m afraid It’s not the four-legged creatures that stole the show, it’s the pair of legs sticking out from the Christmas tree lighting ceremony that has all the town talking.
I own The Bean Hive Coffeehouse and I have to tell you that
the suspects are piling up faster than the falling snow, while a murderer is on the loose.
The gossip is as hot as the coffee I serve.
Of course I can’t let this ruin my first Christmas in Honey Springs, so I’m keeping my ear to the rumors and checking out a few things on my own. I sure would hate to have this murder hanging over our heads at the Christmas table!
2. What made you decide to take on such a risky endeavor?
Otis, bless his heart, was a friend of mine. He was the sweetest man and owned Odd Ink, the tattoo parlor next to my coffeehouse. He came in everyday to get a sweet treat and cup of coffee. I just hate what happened to him.
3. Did you ever imagine yourself being involved in fighting crime?
Oh my….how do I say this without running you off. I’m sorta like a murder magnet. Somehow I stumble upon bodies while minding my own business, then I make it my business. A few months ago I’d tell you that I’d never get involved in a murder. A few months ago is a long time.
4. Who would you say is the least pleased about your additional career choice of amateur sleuthing? Or is detective work your only career?
I’d have to say it’d be my fiancé Patrick Cane. He just don’t understand why I can’t just keep brewing up coffee instead of trouble.
5. What are your strengths and weaknesses?
I’d have to say that I’m a good listener, which helps me weed out the gossip from the truth. My Aunt Maxi always said there’s a wee-bit of truth in all of that gossip, I just have to find out what’s the truth.
6. Describe what being a self-rescue princess (a strong, confident woman) means to you.
A couple of years ago I was a lawyer in my own firm. I was unhappy and not following my life. I realized real fast that no man or job was going to make me happy. I was the only one who was going to do that, so that’s when I moved to Honey Springs, took a leap of faith and opened up The Bean Hive Coffeehouse.
7. What one advice/wisdom would you like to pass onto young women?
Follow your dream! Don’t let anyone tell you that you can’t do it.
8. What was one lesson you learned during this challenging time in your life?
I realized how strong I am when faced with hard problems. If I could get through law school, a nasty divorce and a complete lifestyle change…I know I can get through anything!
9. If your story or life had a theme song, what would it be?
Bullet Proof by David Goetta.
10. Do you plan on dabbling in amateur sleuthing in the future, or have you hung up your detective hat?
Listen, I don’t go looking for trouble, but if my friends need me…I can’t say I won’t stick my nose in something.
