New York City, and I’m playing piano at a little club in Hell’s Kitchen
Who are you?
What is your name?
I’m Tom
Are you a fictional or historical character?
I’m fictional. I tend to come in and out of people’s lives for a season.
What’s your role in the story – are you the protagonist or a supporting character?
I suppose you’d call me a supporting character. I help other folks understand their story, but I’m not always around to see how it ends. I’d like to see a happy ending or two before it’s all said and done.
Are you a human, animal, alien, robot, or something completely different?
I’m human. Still the piano man and always will be.
Do you consider yourself to be good, bad, or indifferent? Would others agree with this assessment – why, or why not?
Well, everyone’s good in their own head, and I just hope I’ve given more to the people I’ve loved than I’ve taken from them. So yeah, I’d call myself a good man.
What do we need to know about you?
What is your personal goal? I mean, what do you ultimately want?
Goals were for my younger days. I’m at peace now, doing what I love.
What is standing in your way? What conflict(s) do you face?
Hoping my past, those so-called “goals” from my youth, don’t come back to haunt me.
Why is this goal important to you? What’s your motivation?
Not many of us find peace. I’ve helped a few people find it and I like that. Charles, certainly. Cammie, maybe, though it’s too soon to tell.
If you could change one thing about yourself, what would it be, and why?
To have appreciated the moments more, rather than always waiting for the next big thing, or the next experience. A moment is the only piece of time that’s actually real.
How do I get a copy of your book?
Is it available now, or when can we expect to see it released?
