Pimp That Character

We’re thrilled to be talking to Andi from Paulita Kincer’s Trail Mix . It is a pleasure to have her with us today at Pimp That Character! Thank you for your interview, Andi. Can you tell us your story? Sure, I was out running one morning, and I had this spectacular idea. I get some of my best ideas when I’m running. I thought about how I’m always exercising to lose weight, and my friend Jess is always dieting. If we combined the two, we would both lose weight -- guaranteed. So I found a way to do that – we would hike the Appalachian Trail. I know you’re thinking that’s a big commitment, but our kids are practically grown, gone to college and coming home for the summer. That’s a tough transition when college kids return home, so I figured we’d be better off laying low on the Appalachian Trail. And that’s how it all started. Can you tell us about one of your most distinguishable features? I’m pretty tall, 5-foot, 10-inches, and maybe that makes me a little bit clumsy. If we go...

We’re thrilled to be talking to Tiny from Mike Hartner's, I, Mary .  It is a pleasure to have her with us today at Pimp That Character! Thank you for your interview, Tiny. How old are you and what do you do for a living?  I’m still Master and Captain of ships that belong to Crofter Shipping. Can you tell us about one of your most distinguishable features?  Tall, thin, I can see a long distance. What would I love the most about you?  Everything.   After all, I’m British. (and then he laughed) What would I hate the most about you?  Everything.   I’m British. Where do you go when you are angry?  Sailing. Why do you think I’m already a Master? What makes you laugh out loud?  People around me having fun.   Usually with new seamen who have no experience at all, and very little sense of sailing. What is in your refrigerator right now?  Refrigerator?   What is...

We’re thrilled to be talking to Meg Rawley from Olivia Hardin’s All for Family . It is a pleasure to have her with us today at Pimp That Character!  Thank you for your interview, Meg. Can you tell us your story?  Goodness this is strange to be the center of attention. I really didn’t know this book was going to be my story. I thought Olivia was going to tell about Kay’s wedding, but the next thing I knew Jeremy had a call that my ex-husband was dying and wanted to see me… before I even realized what was happened, we were all reflecting on the way Jeremy and I first met 12 years ago. So much happened back then to bring us to the place we are today.  What would I love the most about you?  I’m kind of a nurturer and I think most people like that about me. I’m better at listening than talking so that makes people comfortable. And that’s my thing. I really always want people around me to feel at ease.  If you could change one physical thing abou...
