Character Interview: Kona from Charles M.'s THE JUNGLE WITHIN




We’re thrilled to be talking to Kona from Charles M’s, The Jungle Within.  It is a pleasure to have her with us today at Pimp That Character!

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

I am as old as time itself. What I do for a living…well it’s what most people fear. I am Death.

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

My yellow eyes contrast beautifully against my black coat. I have a long, pink tongue that lays neatly between my razor sharp, white fangs.

What would I love the most about you?

The fact that I’m so beautiful.

What would I hate the most about you?

The fact that I scare you.

What is your greatest fear?

My greatest fear is being misunderstood. If people only knew that living was the hard part of life, they would learn to love.

Do you think the author portrayed you accurately?

The author portrayed me in the one the only we he could. With a metaphor.


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

Unfortunately, I have no friends. I have a very specific job in the universe and that job is not very popular. I take people all living things from one form of life to another. It’s really that simple.

What is your favorite weather?

I prefer the rain of the jungle. It makes my coat shiny and live. As if light were trying to burst out behind me. It’s quite breathtaking.

Someone is secretly in love with you.  Who is it and how do you feel about that?

I think desperate people might be in love me. I would tell them to enjoy life. It’s a very special experience. And besides, I’m not going anywhere.

What is your most treasured possession?

The life force of the universe. Without it, I have no job.

About the Author


Despite growing up in a small town, I always knew I was destined for bigger things. At age eighteen, I enlisted in the US Navy, a move that allowed me to see the world and explore my passion for life. After 6 years and an honorable discharge, I settled into civilian life, earning my Bachelor of Science in Electrical Engineering and an MBA in Technology Management.

Always eager to challenge myself with new and different roles, I took on the role of “Author,” writing my debut novel among the roles of full-time engineer, local business owner, and family man. But, I have no plans to stop there!

I am an avid outdoorsman, enjoy camping, hiking, snowboarding, shooting, and fishing, making the Land of Enchantment an ideal place to call home.

I look forward to sharing my novel and experiences with all of you!

Charles’ latest book is the drama/suspense, The Jungle Within.

About the Book:

When Evan and Katie said “I do”, they expected to navigate life together side-by-side. But when a car accident and a tawdry affair disrupt life as they know it, Evan and Katie are forced to venture on alternate paths, alone. In the darkest depths of an unforgiving coma, Evan fights to survive the treacherous jungle of his mind. He embarks on a spiritual journey to understand the meaning of life and the beauty of death…forcing him to face his deepest fear. Meanwhile, Katie ventures through her own guilt. On a strenuous moral journey, she juggles the consequences of infidelity and the strain of caring for her unresponsive husband. But are their paths truly separate? Or are they simply on parallel journeys that are destined to converge?

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 ...
