With my WIP, one of my favorite characters has turned out to be the killer, no matter how hard I tried to make him the love interest.Jean Henry Meadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08146960738692672013noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6404036170106001374.post-80975486663950573522015-02-12T08:47:10.010-06:002015-02-12T08:47:10.010-06:00Thanks for your comment, Bill.

It wasn't until I started giving talks on my books that I realised how many of them had started life as a way of getting my own back on some (usually very nasty) real people.

But if that's what the characters want, you have little choice.Bill Kirtonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16345949773423764808noreply@blogger.com
