I do very much believe that we, as writers, graft on to our characters not specific experiences per se (tho sometime we do), so much as the emotional charge associated with those experiences and memories. In the course of my career, I've written about dashing pirates and brave soldiers, prostitutes and princesses--and a gamut of characters between. Apart from the 'brave soldiers,' I don't know m/any of the aforementioned. But like all of us, I do know what it feels like to love someone who doesn't (seem to) return that sentiment, to want something or someone so badly that it's blinded me to the richness of blessings already in hand, and to crawl out of the darkness resident inside us all and climb spindle by spindle toward the light. Mysterious? Not hardly. Human--yes, most definitely. If we can write characters that let the reader connect to their humanity, embrace their darkness and their light, and do so in engaging and authentic ways, then we as authors have done our job and done it well.

Quotes are added by the Goodreads community and are not verified by Goodreads. (Learn more)

“I have never paid for fornication, and I don't intend to begin with you. When you come to me, and come to me you shall, you shall do so of your own accord and wholly free of all commerce and custom.”
Hope Tarr, Claimed by the Rogue

“You can tell a lot about a person’s character over the phone. Not everything, but a lot. It’s not always what they say but what they don’t say that’s the most telling,”
Hope Tarr, Operation Cinderella

“His daughter was dishing out the classic cold shoulder treatment—and he was definitely being served.”
Hope Tarr, Operation Cinderella
