21. Do any of your characters have children? How well do you write them? Many of my characters have children (if not in their current book, then in the future) and I’m pretty good at writing children, but the only book I currently have written with a small child is Lane’s Girl. Lane’s daughter, Mikayla, […]

20. What are your favorite character interactions to write? Hmmm, I’m really not sure for this question. I love to write fight scenes (verbal, not physical), so Lane and Rebecca are high up on my list of who I love to write interacting with each other. But I also love it when Gar goes all

16. Do you write romantic relationships? How do you do with those, and how “far” are you willing to go in your writing? You know, when I first had my mom read some of my writing, she gave me a book called “Outlander” by Diana Gabaldon, and told me to read it and learn how

14. How do you map out locations, if needed? Do you have any to show us? I don’t generally map out locations on paper, because I really suck at drawing. There is a map of Fie Eoin somewhere, because I was trying to decide what order to put the Seven Tribes in (I still can’t

2. How many characters do you have? Do you prefer males or females? How many characters do I have? Oh man, I have no idea. Give me a few minutes to count them all up… Sixty-three major characters. This doesn’t include short stories or The Good Man (which can hardly be called a short story),

I don’t talk about Lane’s Girl or the Rebecca Stories on here much, and that’s because I have realized that they are irrevocably Dark Tower fanfiction. Which is sad, really, because I’ve taken what was fanfic and built it up into it’s own nice little world and put in some fantastic characters and situations that

Happy Father’s Day! I was looking through my stickies this week, planning on putting up something about a father (or maybe a few stickies about fathers) when I ran across this little gem. It’s technically not a sticky. It’s a page in one of my small writing folders, but it is the beginning of the
