MY CHARACTERS

Thought I`d let others know why the characters I brought to life in Body Language mean so much to me. Well you really do care about people you choose to spend a lot of time with don`t you? And boy do I spend a lot of time with this lot. They feel free to wake me up just as I am drifting off to sleep because they demand to be written into or out of some new situation they seem to have got themselves entangled in. Take Lassiter himself for instance. If he ever decides to start drinking again he`ll kill himself and I can`t allow that to happen. The policemen and women like Bradford, Hegarty , Galbraith and Dawson I don`t worry about so much. Sorry I do worry about Dawson. He`s got a ferocious temper equal to that (those?) of both Horner and Hagan and all three are just itching to kill somebody at the best of times simply because they`re in a bad mood. Horner and Hagan are real Glasgow hard men. So is Dawson however and he`s a ploiliceman!
Now the girls Maggie . Sarah , P.J. etc. are out for a giggle most of the time so any bother they get themselves into is normally over a riotous night out or something. However they are hilariously funny and really good company plus they seem to have more common sense than the all the others together.
And then we have Reggie. What can anybody be expected to do with Reggie? But he`s always there, carry-out in hand waiting on his Giro and looking for a tap. The only way I can keeping giving him that tap is if my Amazon, Smashwords Barnes & Noble, Apple and Lulu etc. readers keep reading the Lassiter series.
Incidentally I really do have a great deal of time for this lot. They don`t get it easy either. I write them some really, bad, nasty, vicious, so-and -sos to deal with. Well they woke me up after all didn`t they?
