Interview with Francis Dominguez III from Tucker May's THE LEMON HOUSE MURDERS

 

We’re thrilled to be talking to Francis Dominguez III from Tucker May's The Lemon House Murders.  It is a pleasure to have him with us today at Pimp That Character!

* * *

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

My name is Francis Dominguez III. I'm 19 years old. I'm so proud to be named after my father and his father. Both of those men worked hard to better our little community and I can't wait to do the same someday. Right now, I help out around the church that my family runs. It's called Stonewood. Someday, it'll be all mine.


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

I'm a very reliable guy. My family counts on me to be.

What would I love the most about you?

Woah, tough question. I think maybe just that I'm caring and unselfish. I try to live my life thinking of others.

What makes you laugh out loud?

Not much happens around here that's really laugh out loud-worthy, to be honest. But I'm always open to hear a good joke as long as it's not too off-color.

What is your most treasured possession?

Easy. It's the robe that my father gave me when I turned sixteen -- the vestments that I'll wear when I take over the church someday. Right now it just hangs in the closet mostly. But it signifies the future, you know? The path laid out before me.  

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

Um. I guess friends. There's just not a whole lot of members of the congregation near my age, really. Since I finished high school, I don't get to see a whole lot of other kids my age. Just part of the life, I guess.

What is your greatest fear? 

Letting my family down. Failing to carry on the Stonewood legacy. That's been my purpose pretty much from the day I was born and it's very scary to think about maybe messing that up. I have nightmares sometimes.  

Who is your best friend?

My mom, definitely. She's so kind and supportive. Love her.

What is your favorite weather? 

I like bundling up. I love those cold winter desert nights. Sometimes I'll throw on my coat and just go walking right around twilight when my parents say it's okay.

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

Now that's a question. Wow. I guess I'd try to make sure my family knows that I love them. I'd find something small and nice to do for as many members of our congregation as possible. It'd be nice to be remembered for the little things you did to bring a smile to people's faces, right? That's what it's all about. That's what my dad says.

Book Description:

A string of mysterious deaths . . . A house full of suspects . . . A secret that will change everything…

When residents of a live-in drug rehabilitation facility called Lemon House start dying one by one, no one in the outside world seems to care.

Two Lemon House patients, nicknamed Trip and Gobstopper, are the only ones who can see the truth: these are murders.

Their quest to find the killer will push their budding relationship to the brink, cast suspicion on everyone locked in the house with them, and force them to question their most cherished beliefs.

The Lemon House Murders is the rare murder mystery that will have you guessing at the culprit AND thinking deeply about theology, society’s relationship toward the downtrodden, and the importance of self-determination to a fulfilling life.

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 ...

My name is Vispushin. I am a perianth. We are an ancient race…you might relate to us as kind of telepathic pegasi. My true age is a mystery…For a living?…I assume you mean what I do in my life. What is most important to me is being a true companion to my bond-mate, Harl’ut. He is a Pla’than’tirian, a similar being to you humans. We were bonded when he was a babe and we speak to each other mind-to-mind. We are family.  Not long ago, while on our way to The Ocean City, we were attacked by evil Vorm warriors…and then it was most important for me to lead young Harl’ut in deadly battle against those horrific creatures.” Can you tell us about one of y...

We’re thrilled to be talking to Sebastian from Christi J. Whitney’s, Grey , book one in The Romany Outcasts Series .  It is a pleasure to have him with us today at Pimp That Character! Thank you for your interview, Sebastian.   How old are you and what do you do for a living? Hey, thanks for having me. Well, I’m eighteen, so pretty much school is what I do for a living, unfortunately. But I’ve got plans to work in my brother’s tattoo shop after I graduate, so I’m looking forward to that. What would I love the most about you? Okay, well…I thought this interview might be a little more about other stuff that wasn’t quite so…ah, personal? Um, could we maybe not talk about me? That’s just all kinds of awkward. What makes you laugh out loud? Okay, much easier question to answer. Definitely those stupid cat videos on the Internet. Yeah, my friend Katie shows them to me all the time. She’s got a cat obsession. Also, I’m partial to Monty Python . ...
