Why You Should Listen to Your Characters

When I first started writing The Ashes of Heaven’s Pillar, I thought Leova and her husband, Derwine, would have a common medieval marriage: the wife feels lucky her husband doesn’t beat her up, and the husband feels lucky because he is certain he is the father of his wife’s children. My characters, however, decided differently: they deeply love each other. Visit Samantha Holt’s blog to learn why my characters were right.
