Linda asked Paul Doiron:

Is Mike Bowditch created from one particular individual you may have encountered or is he a composite of personalities that makes him so complex and so very intriguing?

Paul Doiron I honestly don't know where Mike Bowditch came from. He contains aspects of myself as a young man, and people who know me say that they see similarities I never intended. But Mike is a better man than I was at that age. I have subsequently met some young wardens who remind me of him in certain ways. Some of them have told me how much they relate to the character, which is rewarding.
