Th...Good morning (well, morning for me), everyone!<br /><br />Thanks so much for hosting me today, I had a lot of fun with this interview. :) I'll be swinging by periodically to answer questions, too, so if you've got 'em, now's the time to spill 'em!<br /><br />@Karen H: That phrase is the best way I can to explain what it is I do. I write things. But admittedly, I totally think of that commercial, too. ;) <br /><br />As for your questions: I do a comprehensive workup of each character, but the details I focus on are usually the ones that I need help remembering. My work-up includes things like hair and eye color (you wouldn't believe how many times I forget eye colors), favorite style of dress, tattoo placement. There's a brief section where I talk about the formative and romantic background, but it's usually only about 2 sentences long. I tend to have an idea for a character, a basic grasp on the history, and then I fill in the rest as the story goes.<br /><br />What's the fun in knowing absolutely everything about a character before the book's written? ;)<br /><br />I do use pictures, too! I usually comb through Model Mayhem or other modeling sites. I don't usually use famous people because I find them too famous to be "real", as it were, but I've been known to use Bradley Cooper as Phin for LURE OF THE WICKED when pressed for famous actor = character questions. ;)<br /><br />Thank you for asking, and have very many lovely hours reading!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5576538055962817926.post-77409210705491840232012-01-30T12:03:04.358-05:002012-01-30T12:03:04.358-05:00I loved the interview, I am totally getting your b...I loved the interview, I am totally getting your books they sound like something I can really get into and enjoy. <br /><br />miztik_rose@yahoo.comMary Kirklandhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04991095291522043588noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5576538055962817926.post-86224726624490401022012-01-30T11:47:49.498-05:002012-01-30T11:47:49.498-05:00Hi Karina,

I write things.'...reminds of that commercial with the big brute of a guy (sort of like Arnold) who says 'I pick things up and put them down'. I'm sorry, I couldn't help it!<br /><br />So how about a question or two: Some authors go into deep detail to develop a background and life for the main characters of their stories. They may or may not use all the details, but it's there if they need it. What about you; do you do a comprehensive workup sheet of your character's background? <br /> <br />Do you ever use a picture of a person, famous or not, to help visualize your character’s physical features?Karen Hhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13732638672537005826noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5576538055962817926.post-77366850759810372172012-01-30T11:09:51.756-05:002012-01-30T11:09:51.756-05:00Thanks for a fantastic interview!
