Character Interview: Ian Mallory

Posted by on Jun 14, 2015 in FF Fans, Fun Stuff | 12 comments

As I mentioned in a previous post, I will be interviewing a character from my Final Formula series here on my website.

But the man is skilled with a needle when he can’t find what I’m looking for. I would judge him to be as talented as his ancestor. Becca: You knew his ancestor? Ian: Ironically—or not—he is the descendant of the tailor I used to frequent when I was alive. Becca: How is that not ironic? Ian: Addie suggested that there is a magical connection. Becca: You don’t think so? Ian: Addie sees magic in everything. Myself, I believe that it is simply a matter of the family...
