Where Do These Characters Come From?

Now here’s a question I was recently asked for the first time: “How did you create the characters in your most recent novel, The Ice Woman Assignment?”

Well, I spent some time and deep thought coming up with the answer, and I’m happy to share it with you.  But not here.   Since fellow author Sophie Duncan asked the question, it was only fair to respond on HER blog.
I will be featured on Sophie’s Thoughts and Fumbles today.  Check out the interview, then come back here and post a comment letting me know what you thought.  You could win a prize!
