We’re thrilled to be talking to Scrooje Ebonyzer from David Lamb’s On Top Of The World.  It is a pleasure to have him with us today at Pimp That Character! Thank you for your interview, Scrooje.   How old are you and what do you do for a living? I’m thirty-two years old. What do I do for a living? I do me. I’m a music star, fashion mogul, talent agent, music producer. I’m getting into making films and doing theater. Can you tell us about one of your most distinguishable features? What would I love the most about you?  Underneath my egotistical, materialistic, uncaring persona I’m a hopeless romantic who cares deeply about people and longs for a chance to win back, Belle, the woman I drove away with my greed and stupidity. What is the trait you most not like about yourself?  My disbelief that I’m worthy of love because I believe that no matter how successful I am that I’m doomed to end up back where I started, broke and alone....

We’re thrilled to be talking to Kate Beckham the author from The Kate and Robert Chronicles and her new book, Beckham 101.  It is a pleasure to have you with us today at Pimp That Character! Thank you for your interview, Kate.   How old are you and what do you do for a living? Yes, thank you for this opportunity. My name is Kate Beckham. I am 26 and I have my nursing license but I am newly wedded and currently a stay at home wife taking care of my husband Robert and our household. What makes you laugh out loud?   Oh… a lot of things… but lately it’s been getting away with surprising my husband Robert. He is a very well trained police officer and can read people very well. Usually nothing gets by him but I have managed to pull a few surprises out of my hat without him finding out until it was time. There was this one time a few months ago when we were on our honeymoon in San Diego that he had planned and everything was just perfect. He spared n...

We’re thrilled to be talking to Macy from Cheryl C. Malandrinos’, Macaroni and Cheese for Thanksgiving. It is a pleasure to have her with us today at Pimp That Character! Thank you for your interview, Macy.   How old are you and what do you do for a living? I’m ten years old, so I don’t have a job. Except going to school. Can you tell us about one of your most distinguishable features? Mom and Dad think I’m smart. I like school too. What would I love the most about you? I like to help out. I’m the oldest, so I get to help Mom with the cooking and cleaning. What makes you laugh out loud? My dog, Dino. He’s the best dog. He loves to play. What are three must haves when shopping at the grocery store? Milk because Mom says it will help me grow up strong; Apples because they are so yummy; and carrots—my favorite vegetable. I’m opening up your cabinet.   What foods do I see? Boxes of macaroni, salt, herbs and spices Mom ...

We’re thrilled to be talking to Aakti from Kali Kucera’s Unawqi, Hunter of the Sun .  It is a pleasure to have him with us today at Pimp That Character! Thank you for your interview, Aakti.   How old are you and what do you do for a living? Lets’ see, I’m getting on about 4 and a half billion years last time I checked.   I’ve been around quite a while, before any of you were here for sure.   My job is not one I necessarily enjoy, which is keeping you warm and alive. Can you tell us about one of your most distinguishable features? I’m recognizably yellow; sometimes orange or purple if you throw up enough smog or dust in front of your eyes. What would I love the most about you? Love? A lot of people worship me, I know that much.   They have either a ceremonial way of loving me, or they just love me after it’s rained too much. What would I hate the most about you? That the love is not mutual.   Or maybe you just hat...

We’re thrilled to be talking to Thom Burroughs from Don Weeks’s Scarecrow on the Marsh .  It is a pleasure to have him with us today at Pimp That Character! Thank you for your interview, Thom.  How old are you and what do you do for a living? I recently celebrated my fifty-second birthday. I’ve been working as Chief of Police in Sandwich, Massachusetts for over ten years now. What would I love the most about you? I don’t text and I don’t have an iphone. When I talk to people, they have my undivided attention. I can’t tell you how many times a day I end up repeating myself because the person I’m talking to is texting with someone else or watching something on the internet. It’s rude. I prefer the old days when people actually made eye contact and listened to one another. Where do you go when you are angry? There’s nothing like a brisk walk around the Sandwich marsh. It’s only a couple of minutes from my house on foot. I have to admit it’s a l...

We’re thrilled to be talking to Enoch from Sam Reed’s Fair to Hope .  It is a pleasure to have him with us today at Pimp That Character! Thank you for your interview, Enoch. How old are you and what do you do for a living? Thanks for having me, I normally don’t do interviews, this should be fun. The age question is difficult, it’d probably be easier to answer based on how old I look , that’s probably something around what you would call 25 years old. I mostly keep secrets and twist wills for a living. It has its ups and downs. Can you tell us about one of your most distinguishable features? My eyes, the last person I, um…assisted (Velma is her name, sweet girl, stubborn, will probably never be ready for what’s coming but I did the best I could to help), well, she called them kaleidoscope eyes, which is probably the most accurate description. They tend to change colors. A lot. What would I love the most about you? I make a great breakfast, that...

We’re thrilled to be talking to Ludwig van Beethoven from Howard Jay Smith’s novel, Beethoven in Love; Opus 139 .   It is a pleasure to have him with us today at Pimp That Character! Thank you for your interview, ‘B.’ May we call you ‘B’ as your friends do? How old are you and what do you do for a living? Odd you should ask.   I am fifty-six years old and only seconds from my death.   I am a musician and a composer. Can you tell us about one of your most distinguishable features? Those who know anything about my life, will recall that beginning at age 26 or so, I began to lose my hearing.   By the time I was in my mid-forties I was totally and utterly deaf. Nonetheless, when I was 54 I composed what is arguably the most single important piece of Western Classical music ever created, my Ninth Symphony which concludes with the ‘Ode to Joy.’ What would I love the most about you? My passion for music, my passion for life, my passion ...
