How to Craft Interesting Characters: Five Phases to Success
Characters are central to fiction because they are the primary conduit through which readers engage in the story. How to Craft Interesting Characters is a remarkable reference on how aspiring writers can create relatable characters to establish emotional connections with their readers, drive their plots, and exploit their themes and ideas through transformative character arcs—written by the international best-selling author C.D. Sutherland, who created the Antediluvian Steampunk genre. He wishes he'd had this manual to help guide his muse when he started writing. Since then, he's authored 14 books. Now, he's sharing some tricks of the trade he’s learned to help you write your own stories.
Charles David Sutherland is the B-52 Pilot turned novelist. His service in the Air Force progressed through four decades as he saw much of the world, flew jets, and did other things most men have only dreamed about doing. In his flying days, his fellow warfighters called him The Chuck. Nowadays, he signs his books as C.D. Sutherland.
He's glad to share that knowledge with all aspiring writers so they'll have a better start than he had. His prayer is for those writers to use their talents for good, making the world better, one reader at a time.
