We’re thrilled to be talking to Lillian Dove from D. J. Adamson, Admit to Mayhem . It is a pleasure to have her with us today at Pimp That Character! Thank you for your interview, Lillian.   How old are you and what do you do for a living? I am 30+ and work for the Frytown Police Department as a telephone facilitator. Which means, I answer the phones. What is in your refrigerator right now? Let me go look!   Okay, I don’t do much shopping. There is a yellow, slimy head of lettuce, a package of bologna, and a half-can of Feline Delight for my cat, Bacardi. The Feline Delight has been in there a while because Bacardi will never eat anything refrigerated. What is my favorite food? Whatever is still edible in my refrigerator. Do I like to cook? I cook for Bacardi. He’s pretty easy. Can-opener and a can of Feline Delight. For me, I grab something at the Dairy Queen. A chili cheese burger if I take it home. Or I go to Louise’s Italian Resta...

Thank you for your interview, Jesse.   Can you tell us your story?  Why yes. I was raised in Portland , Maine . My dad died when I was four. My mother found a man she thought was kind but turned out to be anything but. He and my older brother, Ryan, had a confrontation and they fell down a staircase and both died as a result.

Thank you for your interview, Sir Benedict.   Can you tell us your story? I’m not usually called Sir Benedict. Palmer is just fine. See, I’m not one of those posh-lad knights. I had to fight my way to knighthood, never had lands or wealth of my own. And when you fight in twelfth century England , you have to kill or be killed. So, my story. It’s 1176 and King Henry II has imprisoned his rebellious Queen for attempting to overthrow him. But her conspirators are still at large and somebody’s trying to murder his young mistress, Rosamund Clifford. Desperate, Henry turns to the only man he trusts: me! My fighting prowess has saved him once before. I answer his call, mistakenly believing that my family will remain safe while he attends to his King. But what neither I nor Henry sense is the han...

We’re thrilled to be talking to Amelia Slater from Greg Messel’s Shadows In the Fog .  It is a pleasure to have her with us today at Pimp That Character! Thank you for your interview Amelia.  Can you tell us your story? My name is Amelia Ryan Slater. I’m 26 years old have been a stewardess for TWA. I recently resigned when the airline found out I was married to Sam. I am now my husband’s partner in his private investigation business.  This is how most people identify me but there’s much, much more to me.  First of all, I’ve always dreamed of adventure--particularly flying. Maybe it’s because I was born in 1932.  In the year of my birth the biggest celebrity in America was Amelia Earhart.   She was not only an adventurer but she was a woman. That made her all the more extraordinary at the moment when I came into the world.  It was my mother’s admiration of the great aviator that prompted her to name me Amelia.  ...

We’re thrilled to be talking to Ria Ofor from D. U. Okonkwo’s, Rise. It is a pleasure to have her with us today at Pimp That Character! Thank you for your interview, Ria. Can you tell us your story? Ria: Thank you for having me. My story is how I came to learn the importance of pursuing the truth. Ever since being in a fire when I was a child that left me facially-scarred, I had believed a lot of thing about myself that weren’t true. These things stopped me from being who I really was. They made me insecure, fearful, and caused me to suffer from low self-esteem. Even though I have found much joy in my sculpting which I love to do, my fears and insecurities prevented me from sharing my work with a large audience. I’m happy to say that I have since discovered the true source of self-esteem.  What makes you laugh out loud? Ria: A good joke or a sarcastic comment from my friend, Danika. What is in your refrigerator right now? Ria: Ingredients for my daily green po...

We’re thrilled to be talking to Dr. Robert James Austin from William R. Leibowitz's new cross genre thriller, MIRACLE MAN.  It is a pleasure to have him with us today at Pimp That Character!   Q: Thank you for your interview, Dr. Austin.  Can you tell us your story? A:   No one (including me) knows why I have the extraordinary intelligence that I have.   My IQ is so high that it can’t be accurately measured.   Tests indicate that my intelligence is 10X that of Albert Einstein.   Many tragic things have happened to me, starting immediately after my birth. Maybe that’s why I decided to devote my life—and my special gifts—to one thing, finding cures for diseases.   I did this when I realized that the big pharmaceutical companies have no interest in curing diseases –they just want to sell expensive pills to treat symptoms.   While you might think that I’d be a really popular guy given what I’ve accomplished, the sad fact is that m...
