Please share some of your background:
I am a sports journalist who has dabbled in background acting and is in the process of finishing up my debut novel.

When did you start reading Mitch Rapp? 
I began reading Vince Flynn around 2008 when a friend of mine handed me a copy of Transfer Of Power. That was all it took. I couldn't stop reading about Rapp after that.

Which book is your favorite?
Transfer Of Power is my absolute favorite, but I am a sucker for the first novels. Everything about that book just works for me. Other favorites include Consent To Kill and American Assassin.

Do you have a favorite character and why?  
Rapp is my favorite character as the main guy, and I appreciate how his character has grown through the series. He obviously isn't the same after living through so much, and both Vince and now Kyle Mills have done a wonderful job showing that.

If you could be any character in Vince's novels, who would it be and why?
Marcus Dumond. I think having an afro could be fun.

Is there anything else you would like to share relating to Mitch Rapp, Vince or Kyle?
I would like to thank them all for making reading fun again as an adult. I loved books as a child, but college kind of took away the joy. That changed when I picked ip Vince Flynn. I'm grateful.
