As an author, I strive to create good story and characters that resonate truth. I can read lots of things in context if they make sense to the characters and the story. I approach my writing from the same mindset. My characters have diverse backgrounds, personalities, morals and motives. I try very hard to balance tastefulness with truth. The story and the characters are an organic undertaking. Each novel starts as a seed that germinates – takes root and with lots of patience and nurturing sprouts and takes shape. The Masters and Lindseys was just such a seed. Sedahlia is quite simply their story, a story that could be yours or mine or anyone’s – imperfect, tawdry, tragic, true.
