WHO IS YOUR FAVOURITE CHARACTER?
Greetings All!
My immediate news is that my murder mystery, IF IT’S MONDAY, IT MUST BE MURDER! is now released and is available on the Gypsy Shadow webpage, soon to be on Amazon! The link is here along with the link to the book trailer:
Able to “sign” it on www.kindlegraph.com
Here is the blurb:
Mel, a former cop shot in the back now lives in constant pain and walks with a cane. When her best friend's daughter is missing, Mel is asked to help find her. The girl is found dead at the bottom of a tall building and the cops believe she jumped. Did she? Or is it murder?
I read a blog this week about writers not willing to disclosure who their favourite characters are in their books (see this blog: http://goddesstriad.blogspot.com/2011/09/writers-precious-pet-poll-included.html) and I wondered about my own books. So in the nature of full disclosure here are my favourite characters from each one of my books!
AINE-Of course Aine is my favourite, who wouldn’t love a girl who only wants to pass tenth grade, has a crush on a boy and not be a fairie?
FAERIE FOLK-AINE 2: Although I still like Aine, I’d have to say that the boy faerie, Fennen who is protecting her is one of my favourites.
NINA-I like Nina, she’s tough and doesn’t give up in spite of having her world turned upside down.
WITCH HUNTER-I’d have to say that although I do like Molly O’Claire, the main character, I also love her bff, Chloe who is snarky and sarcastic but loyal.
FITZROY: THE BOY WHO WOULD BE KING-Fitzroy is my favourite character by far.
THE CRAZY NURSE-I enjoy the romantic male lead, Johnny Whitefeather, I've always loved long hair on a guy!
IF IT’S MONDAY, IT MUST BE MURDER!-Mel Thompson, the former cop who got shot on the job and now has to walk with a cane is my favourite character. She’s feisty, smart, snarky and a great friend. She’s the one you want in your corner if you are in trouble, she never gives up.
LORE OF FEI that’s being published in April, 2012 by Muse It Up Publishing has two characters that I like, the main character, Ariela-a wingless faerie and her childhood friend, Rion, he has the most beautiful golden coloured wings. This is my faerie novel, faeries v. humans in the war that will determine the fate of their world.
I’m going to skip the short stories collections, PLEASE TO SEE THE KING and INTERLUDE. So, there you have it.
Who is your favourite character from either a book you are reading or one you are writing (or have written)?

My favorite character is from my debut novel, Concilium. Miller Gardienne. He's a tortured soul, but covers his emotions by an unbearable attitude. He's the kind of guy you love to hate...until he opens up and let's himself fall in love again. Then you see his true self and you love to love him. :o)
But my favorite character from another writer's book (Rebecca Ryman) is Jai Raventhorne. It's a great book if you love historical romance.

I don't know why authors would be hesitant to reveal who their favorite characters are. Nothing wrong with that. As for me, my favorite character in my forthcoming novel, Shadow of Samhain, is Tessie Malkin. She has such a good heart and remains calm even when people around her are so mean, rude and even violent. Never once does she waiver in being peaceful around others and in a way that is comforting. Plus, she is not materialistic. :) As to a favorite character in someone else's novel, it would have to be Montana Thomas from Ann Simko's Coyote Moon series. It's not YA, but that is the one character I have so enjoyed reading because he's tough, smart and always figures out how to get out of sticky situations. Kinda like McGyver. LOL Thank you for a very thought-provoking blog post!
Usually whatever book I'm working on is my favorite character:)
