Thanks for all the questions!
This book cover release was fun!
If you have more questions you can still ask them whenever you want!Soon the ebook will be available!
Thanks!
What characters was for you more complex, teenage or adults?
Which of my characters was more complex to make? The teenagers or the adults?
Well, all of them! it’s not easy to create characters and make them reliable. Most of the characters have traces of people I met or situations I experienced (not necessarily in my pov).
Some of the teenagers were difficult to make, as I said before, Sera and Tori. Girls are complex and I wanted to make them as credible as possible. But also some adults were difficult to create, especially the ones that doesn’t have so much dialogue, but are important to the story anyway.
Which is the favorite character of the people who already read the book?
Which of my characters is people’s favorite?
Well, my beta readers seems to love Neil. Most of them simply love him alone, some of them love him in a ship already! And some of them love him in the way you want to have him for yourself!
So Neil seems to be the favorite one. Altough, people also like Will a lot.
