Other than the two main characters who were completely cooked up in my head (and maybe taken from my own quirky personality at times) my characters were all based on someone I knew at the time.

I think that generally in first books, writers tend to base their main characters off of themselves, which was what I did.

I write for those with big imaginations and big goals, those who occasionally hit brick walls and know how hard it can suck to fail at something really important. Those who keep trying, despite their own flaws. I write for the dedicated dreamers.

It started off as a challenge to myself to create a character I could reuse in other stories … I wanted to create a character who is less intertwined with a single, definitive plot arc, who I could continue to write about and develop across titles.
