Interview with Character Peri Reed from Kim Harrison's THE DRAFTER




We’re thrilled to be talking to Peri Reed from Kim Harrison’s, The Drafter.  It is a pleasure to have her with us today at Pimp That Character!

Thank you for your interview, Peri.  How old are you and what do you do for a living?

I’m a special task agent for Opti, and if I told you what I do for a living, I’d have to kill you. Just kidding! My partner, Jack, and I work for the government as espionage agents to further the United State’s interests at home and abroad.

Where do you go when you are angry?

Anywhere Jack isn’t, but the sensory sauna at the executive gym in my building is a favorite. I usually set it for the Arizona hot springs.

What is your greatest fear?

I don’t like to be alone. At all.

What is the trait you most dislike about yourself?

Though I won’t admit it to anyone other than an Opti psychologist, I dislike forgetting. It’s not the simple, “I forgot to feed the cat,” kind of forgetting, but more like the “who are you, and why are you in my kitchen?” kind of forgetting. It is tied to my job, and my partner, Jack, can usually bring most of the lapses back, which is why he’s my partner, but I hate looking stupid.

What are three must haves when shopping at the grocery store?

Stinky cheese, strawberries, crackers, and a nice bottle of wine. And cat food—for the cat. That’s five. Sorry.

If you could change one physical thing about yourself, what would that be?

I wouldn't mind being a few inches taller.

Are you a loner or do you prefer to surround yourself with friends?

I’m a loaner, mostly because the government found me when I was in my early teens. Most of my friends when I was growing up were older than me, but I do have a solid core of associates, and a few dear friends.

Who is your best friend?

My best friend is Jack. He knows me better than I know myself.

Do you have children?

No, and I never will. I’m too afraid that they will be like me.

What is your favorite weather?

Sun, sand, wind, and water.

When you were a child, what did you want to be when you grew up?

I can’t remember a time when I didn’t want to work for the government. They pay me well, keep me doing what I want, let me push my limits, and the technical toys are to die for.

What is your most treasured possession?

I have a shelf full of what anyone else would call knickknacks, but each and every one of them holds a memory I do not want to forget. If I ever do, Jack can help me remember them using the talisman.

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.

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 ...

  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 ...
