Interview with Joy from Christine Amsden's KNOT OF SOULS

 


We’re thrilled to be talking to Joy from Christine Amsden's Knot of Souls.  It is a pleasure to have her with us today at Pimp That Character!

* * *

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

Until recently, I was a receptionist just barely out of college. But since my body was hijacked and I've missed a few days of work, I'm not sure I still have a job. 

You don't like that job anyway. 


And this is Shade, the hijacker I mentioned. 

That was an accident. You died. I thought your soul was gone. 

I'm still here, though. 


What would I love the most about you?

I love to bake. People are always asking for my recipes. 

You're constantly taking care of others instead of yourself. 

Me? Remind me again how you got into this mess? Were you "taking care of yourself?" 

Obviously. I was trying to become King of the Fae. 

You don't want to be King of the Fae. 


What is your most treasured possession?

My brand-new car with fifty-eight "low" monthly payments left to go. (Low is such a relative word.)

Ugly little car. 


Are you a loner or do you prefer to be surrounded by friends?

I prefer a small number of close friendships, like my sister Hope and my best friend Kristen. And maybe Shade. 

Shade? 

Shade? 


What is your greatest fear? 

Losing myself. 

Losing myself.

Sometimes I'm not sure I'm still me in here. 


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

I need to lose about 40 pounds. 

Really? Not that you need to lose the extra soul? 

Oh yeah, can I change my answer? 


If you knew you were going to die tomorrow, what would you do today?

I'm pretty sure I am going to die tomorrow. And I'm choosing to volunteer at the homeless shelter. 

Afterwards, let's go to the zoo. I want to see the penguins. 

 
Book Description:


Two souls, one body …

When Joy wakes up in an alley, she knows three things: she was brutally murdered, she has somehow come back to life … and she is not alone. She’s been possessed by an inhuman presence, a being that has taken over her dying body. That being is powerful, in pain, and on the run from entities more dangerous than he is.

Shade, a Fae prince on the run, didn’t mean to share the body he jumped into. Desperate and afraid, accused of a murder he didn’t commit, he only sought a place to hide—but if he leaves Joy now, he faces discovery and a fate worse than death.

Forced to work together to solve multiple murders, including her own, Joy and Shade discover hidden strengths and an unlikely friendship. Yet as their souls become increasingly intertwined, they realize their true danger might come from each other … and if they don’t find a way to untangle the knot their souls have become, then even the truth won’t set them free.

Knot of Souls is a stand-alone buddy love fantasy that forces two very different beings to work together … and come out stronger on the other side.

Knot of Souls is available at Amazon.

Interview with Nolan Troxler of 'The Reclamation'

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 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.

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 ...
