If you could sit down over coffee with any of your characters, who would it be and what would the two of you talk about??
Great question! I think I would chat with Lacey Montgomery. She was the ex-spy/mother on the run from Flee the Night (I also liked Nadia, the Cold War spy from Russia…I guess there is a theme here!). I would really love to pick Lacey’s brain on her past missions and her creativity in tense situations. I am a huge fan of spy novels (I love the entire “secret agent” genre) and love to create characters who can think on their feet and blend into crazy situations. Plus, I could use Lacey’s insights on creating my new character, PJ Sugar, a PI-Assistant who goes undercover to solve crimes in her tiny town in Minnesota. (Look for the book in 2009!)
The male character I’d love to meet would probably be Will Masterson, the hero in Escape to Morning. I love “Wild Will” because he is a hero just trying to do the right thing, and not always getting it right. Or maybe I would chat with Jonah – Joe Michaels, my hero from Happily Ever After. He’s been around the world and is a fellow author, so maybe we’d have a lot in common. And then there is Scottish “Mac” McRae from Expect the Sunrise. Oh boy…too many heroes!!
Okay, really, now people are going to think I’ve lost my mind.
Great Question! Thank you for asking! And be sure to stop by my website contest page to enter the “Ask an Author Anything!” Contest (Even if it makes her sound like she’s gone over the edge!)
