{Character Interview} Lee Thomas of 'Port in a Desert Storm'
We’re thrilled to be
talking to Lee Thomas from Tom Fugate’s, Port
in a Desert Storm. It is a pleasure to have him with us today at Pimp
That Character!
Thank you for your interview, Lee. How old are you and what do you do for a
living?
I am 61 years old and now run a clandestine government
agency that employed me as a field agent. Port
in a Desert Storm is a story that happened several years ago.
Can you tell us about one of your most distinguishable
features?
The fact that I am an unrepentant southern boy. I went to college just a couple of hours from
my hometown. Other than that, I try to
be as nondescript as possible. In my
line of work being noticed can be dangerous.
What would I love the most about you?
I am loyal to friends and family. I believe in right and wrong. I am not a white knight on a horse but I try
my best.
What would I hate the most about you?
I am capable of doing things that people don’t not want to
know about. I do them not because I
enjoy them but because they have to be done.
If I liked them I should probably quit.
What is your greatest fear?
Getting someone else killed because I screwed up
What is the trait you most not like about yourself?
I am capable of cold blooded killing.
Do you think the author portrayed you accurately?
Yes, I have known Tom since college and I think we may have
played sports against each other in high school. He wanted to be a secret agent and I got to
be one.
Are you a loner or do you prefer to surround yourself
with friends?
Yes. Both of those
are true. I like being around friends
and family but I am very comfortable alone.
Do you have children?
Not that anyone told me about but I have seen a couple of
kids who look very familiar in some way.
When you were a child, what did you want to be when you
grew up?
James Bond. I guess I
sort of got there.
