Today I have the honor of being interviewed on
Patricia C. Lee's blog. She asks lots of interesting questions about characterization. Most writers create their characters' traits and build their back story long before we put the first words on the page. Pat's questions led me deep into the ideas behind my latest book,
The Marine's Heiress.
I hope you'll stop by
Pat's blog and leave a comment. And check out the special sale my publisher has going on to promote
The Marine's Heiress with an exclusive offer only on the
NCP website.
Do you know Pat? Do you do a character bio before you start writing? Ever have to change it up a little as the story progresses?

Will go have a look at the other nook
I always do character bios before drafting. I've found it to be so helpful during the drafting process!
Been awhile since I've worked on fiction but I don't know that I've ever sat down and written out a character bio. Not on paper, anyway.
Hope you're staying warm. Freezing but so bright and beautiful here today.
Off to visit!
Thank you, Pat, Betty and PK.
LOL, Ivy, I'm staying inside. That bright sunshine is so deceptive. It's 4 degrees out there!
Susan: I don't do a full character bio other than listing a few characteristics and their physical description. I find that their traits evolve through the book.
I usually don't do bios. I find if I plan too much, I get stifled when I start to write.
Really enjoyed your interview with Patricia! The book sounds awesome.
