Pimp That Character

We’re thrilled to be talking to Sam Jenkins from Wayne Zurl's, From New York To The Smokies Anthology Collection. It is a pleasure to have Sam with us today at Pimp That Character!  Thank you for your interview, Sam Jenkins. Can you tell us your story?  Sure, I love to talk about myself. Shortly after World War Two I was born in Brooklyn, New York. Although I never wanted to leave a community with such an efficient trolley system, I had little to say in my parents’ decision to pick up and move east to Long Island where I grew up. Like most American males of the baby-boomer generation, I spent my adolescence wanting to be a cowboy, soldier, or policeman. Those aspirations were based on perceptions fostered by movies and later television. The Vietnam War accounted for my time as a soldier, as did sixteen more years in the Army Reserves. After separating from active duty and returning to the US, the New York State Employment Service told me I possessed no marketable civil...

Thank you for your interview, Dot Gale.  Can you tell us your story? Well, I was thrown into something fantastical.  To save my brother, Ozz.  But it was much bigger than that and with the help of three friends I made through this adventure, I took down an evil Empress and righted the wrong against our country perpetrated by my Aunt. What would I love the most about you? I’m loyal and I’m determined. What would I hate the most about you? I sometimes react before I’ve thought things through.  But if I did, I probably wouldn’t do some of the things I do.  I’d be too scared. Where do you go when you are angry? My favorite place is the barn on our family farm.  There’s something very special about it for me.  Reminds me of people I love and helps me cope when I have something weighing on my mind. What makes you laugh out loud? Really stupid jokes.  My friends tell them all the time. What is in your refrigerator ...

We’re thrilled to be talking to Officer Stanford Runstom from Jason LaPier's Unexpected Rain . It is a pleasure to have him with us today at Pimp That Character! Thank you for your interview, Stanford Runstom. How old are you and what do you do for a living? I'm a thirty-seven year old officer of Modern Policing and Peacekeeping. The human race has populated a handful of systems, and in most places, people want a peaceful, crime-free life, but they think their civilization has evolved beyond the need for law enforcement. The interstellar company I work for helps them achieve that balance by providing an outsourced police force. We only show up when we're needed. Can you tell us about one of your most distinguishable features? I'm pretty average. Average height, average build. Short hair. Well groomed, hygienic. Oh right, and I have ... well, a tint. A greenish tint to my skin. It's not really green, more like ... olive. Like a green oli...

We’re thrilled to be talking to Sebastian from Christi J. Whitney’s, Grey , book one in The Romany Outcasts Series .  It is a pleasure to have him with us today at Pimp That Character! Thank you for your interview, Sebastian.   How old are you and what do you do for a living? Hey, thanks for having me. Well, I’m eighteen, so pretty much school is what I do for a living, unfortunately. But I’ve got plans to work in my brother’s tattoo shop after I graduate, so I’m looking forward to that. What would I love the most about you? Okay, well…I thought this interview might be a little more about other stuff that wasn’t quite so…ah, personal? Um, could we maybe not talk about me? That’s just all kinds of awkward. What makes you laugh out loud? Okay, much easier question to answer. Definitely those stupid cat videos on the Internet. Yeah, my friend Katie shows them to me all the time. She’s got a cat obsession. Also, I’m partial to Monty Python . ...
