Character Interview with Detective Katie Scott from Jennifer Chase's THE FIRST GIRL





We’re thrilled to be talking to Detective Katie Scott from Jennifer Chase's latest crime fiction/thriller, The First Girl.  It is a pleasure to have her with us today at Pimp That Character!

Thank you for your interview, Detective Katie Scott.  What do you do for a living? 

I'm a police detective and I head up the cold case unit, with my partner Detective Sean McGaven, for the Pine Valley Sheriff's Department.

Can you tell us about one of your most distinguishable features?


It would be my tenacity for pursing a bad guy. I'm petite in build, but I can still hold my own in a fight no matter what.

What would I love the most about you?

My loyal friendship. Once I'm your friend, you will have a friend for life.

What makes you laugh out loud?

Watching my retired military dog, Cisco, having fun racing around being silly and running after a ball.

What is your most treasured possession?

The photograph of me and my parents when I was thirteen years old and we were on a camping trip. A few months later they were killed in a car accident.

Are you a loner or do you prefer to be surrounded by friends?

I enjoy both, but you'll find me to be more of a loner. It's where I get my energy and compose my thoughts about cases.

What is in your refrigerator right now? 

There are leftovers from my favorite Italian restaurant, four eggs, and some veggies.

What is your greatest fear? 

Not finding the killer before there's another victim.

Who is your best friend? 

My childhood best friend is Chad Ferguson. He's known me all my life, I love him deeply, and I couldn't imagine my life without him.

Do you have children? 

Nope. I love children, but I want to be married first and then I would like to have two. 

What is your favorite weather? 

Fall. I love the feeling of the changing of the seasons after summer where things start to cool off and you know winter is coming. It energizes me.

If you knew you were going to die tomorrow, what would you do today?

I would make sure everyone I love knows they are loved and cherished.

Title: The First Girl: Detective Katie Scott Book 11

Author: Jennifer Chase

Publication Date: December 19, 2023

Pages: 354

Genre: Crime Fiction/Thriller

The cold night breeze slams the barn door shut with a sickening crash. The girl curled in the corner wakes with a start. Her gold butterfly necklace catches the pale moonlight as she clutches it tight, thinking of her family. Will she ever escape? Or is this the last face she’ll ever see?

Detective Katie Scott stares in horror at what she and her service dog Cisco have discovered: seven shallow graves, the bodies of young women each wrapped carefully in a blanket and buried in makeshift coffins. Miles of abandoned farmland stretch out from the treeline behind her. Has Katie uncovered the horrifying graveyard of a monster who has been stealing Pine Valley’s daughters for years?

Katie quickly identifies one of the victims as Abigail Andrews, a beautiful young woman who disappeared fifteen years ago. Katie is heartbroken that she’ll have to tell Abigail’s mother her darling girl is gone.

When Katie is ambushed working late at the scene, fired upon by an unknown assailant, she knows she must be close to finding the killer. But the shooter vanishes into thin air. And when a new young woman is taken, dark haired and dark eyed like the others, Katie realizes her time is running out. Can she stay alive long enough to track down this twisted murderer before another young life is stolen too soon?

“Fast paced, characters intelligent and had each others back. The plot was a bit harrowing, but from what plot entailed I was confident one of the main protagonists, Katie had the situation under control. At least the best of her capabilities as the situation warranted. This ebook was fresh, tasteful and powerful. It was a boon to read about a female with military experience who maintained a level head and who put her knowledge to practice.” ~Amazon 

“AMAZING characters (including Cisco of coarse) & suspense in a twisty plot that sucks you in & never lets you go. Highly RECOMMEND the entire series for some great reading.”  ~NetGalley

“AMAZING characters (including Cisco of coarse) & suspense in a twisty plot that sucks you in & never lets you go. Highly RECOMMEND the entire series for some great reading.” ~Goodreads

The First Girl is available at Amazon & Other Retailers.

We’re thrilled to be talking to Dr. Henriette Behrens, German Federal Chancellor of “Three Brothers” by Joerg H. Trauboth.   It is a pleasure to have her with us today at Pimp That Character! “I work until deep in the night when most of the office lights are out and preferably with women. Too many of the men here are egocentric machos, except one. You unfortunately know who I mean.” --Exclusive Interview with Dr. Henriette Behrens, THREE BROTHERS 1.       Thank you for your interview, Dr. Henriette Behrens.   How old are you and what do you do for a living? Would you also ask a man how old he is, and that in your first question? Shame on you. You are also funny. My personal information as chancellor are only too well-known. In my position, there are very few details left unknown about you. 2.       Can you tell us about one of your most distinguishable features? I always say what I want a...

We’re thrilled to be talking to Nolan Troxler from Thorn Osgood's, The Reclamation . It is a pleasure to have him with us today at Pimp That Character! Thank you for your interview, Nolan.   How old are you and what do you do for a living? No problem, thank you for asking me. I'm fifty-nine and a web designer by trade, but I also have invented information and telecommunications products that are completely safe for users and the environment. Can you tell us about one of your most distinguishable features? Over the years I have continued to wear my hair shoulder length with a stubble beard. Of course now, my hair is salt-and-pepper gray. What is the trait you most not like about yourself? Embarrassing as it is to admit, I am completely absorbed with my work and have too often procrastinated on taking appropriate actions when required. What would I hate the most about you? You would probably hate the fact that I remained absent from ...

Interview with AJ from Paolo Mazzucato's AJ AND THE INCREDIBLE FISH

  We’re thrilled to be talking to AJ from Paolo Mazzucato's AJ AND THE INCREDIBLE FISH.  It is a pleasure to have him with us today at Pimp That Character!   Thank you for your interview, AJ.  How old are you and what do you do for a living? I’m eleven years old, so, you know, way beyond believing in silly things like…tooth fairies or other crazy stories that adults like to tell. I mean, who do they think they’re kidding, right? I live in the REAL world, and ever since my dad left, I spend my time staying out of trouble (mostly) with my sixth-grade friends at St. Anthony School in Wailuku. That’s on Maui, just in case you weren’t paying attention during Sr. Penguin’s geography class, like Eddie who reads comics tucked inside his textbook, which is something I NEVER do. Can you tell us about one of your most distinguishable features? Features? You mean like my nose or something? Well, that’s normal, I guess. I mean my nose is normal. I guess I have messy ...
