{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.

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?

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.

  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 ...
