Inside the Actor's Studio questions PLUS a #BookGiveaway

Character:      Jacob Underwood
Series:           Webb’s Glass Shop Mysteries
Author:          Cheryl Hollon

My name is Jacob Underwood. I apprentice at Webb's Glass Shop. Miss Savannah Webb, who is the boss, asked me to answer these questions. They are famous questions. They appear at the end of THE ACTOR'S STUDIO TV program. Writing answers like this is difficult for me because I have autism. My condition used to be called Asperger's Syndrome. I prefer that name.


1. What is your favorite word? Yes

2. What is your least favorite word? No

3. What turns you on? Repairing  stained glass windows. The tricky part is replacing vintage glass fragments with modern glass. Matching the colors is the most difficult part. I enjoy painting on the new glass so that no one can tell it was replaced.

4. What turns you off? When people speak to me like a small child.

5. What sound or noise do you love? Birdsong in the early morning.

6. What sound or noise do you hate? Breaking glass at the shop -- always bad.

7. What is your favorite curse word? I do not curse. If I get anxious, I could have a panic attack. Then I might have an Asthma attack. Then I would need my inhaler. 

8. What profession other than your own would you like to attempt?  Train service animals.

9. What profession would you not like to do? Telemarketing.

10. If heaven exists, what would you like to hear God say when you arrive at the pearly gates? Hello, Jacob! Thank you for bringing Suzy.

About Etched in Tears


When a famous glass artist is murdered at his own exhibit, deadly secrets are put on display, and it's up to glass shop owner Savannah Webb to see through a killer's cover.

Celebrated glass artist Dennis Lansing is returning to St. Petersburg, Florida, for an exhibit at the world-renowned Salvador Dali Museum. His unique style of embedding document images in his art is at the vanguard of contemporary glasswork. But as Savannah's first boyfriend and a former apprentice to her father, Dennis's return home has her reflecting on the past--a trip down memory lane that takes a dark turn when Dennis is found murdered at the museum with an old reference letter from her father in his pocket. A search through her father's records sheds new light on Dennis's history, but it seems his present life wasn't so transparent either. Now, with a gallery of suspects to consider, it's up to Savannah to figure out who fits the mold of a murderer.
