AlysL asked Mary Buckham:

Hi Mary! Love your Invisible Recruit series, and your Active Writing series! And wanted to say that you are so awesome to your fans! Thanks for being so available - especially on FaceBook! My question - What character in the books is most like you? How about most like your husband? LOL

Mary Buckham Thank you AlysL! Means the world to me to have fans. Will never get over that amazing realization. Gives me tingles (good kind, not the coming-down-with-the-flu kind!). Fun question. I don't know if any of the characters are like me--they are more like the me I'd like to be if that makes sense. Who doesn't want to be brave when it's hard to be brave, to be responsible even when it hurts, to have the perfect comeback comment when you need it and not at 3am the following morning? I adore my characters because they allow me to feel larger than life. I hope you feel that way when you read them. As for the character most like my husband - I think the best elements of my male characters--being supportive even when they're shaking their heads, being a peer when I need that and a leader when I need that, seeing the possibilities when I can't, and being the safe shoulder I can lean against when needed--are all attributes of my husband. Oh, and the witty comments. That's all him. :-) Thanks for asking!
