A Hero and A Villian

What character in The Revolutionists was the most difficult to create? Good question. I’ll limit my answer to the first book, although the sequel – The Reconstructionists – is coming in November of this year.Some might think that the answer would be Michael Stonebreaker, the hero of the book. However, if you have read the book (and I hope you HAVE read it – if not, hurry up and do so – Book # 2 will be here soon!) you know there are other characters in it that are interesting.


The Revolutionist is out now!!
One of the more interesting characters is “…the man who loved the Gulf.” What’s his name? Ah ha! He doesn’t have one. Why doesn’t he have a name? I wanted him to be mysterious. I want readers to wonder about him. I want readers to want to know more about him. I wanted him to carry over to another book. Is he in the sequel? Yes! Will we find out his name in the new book in November? You’ll just have to read the book! (You’re making us crazy!) Yes, that has been my intent all along! I want you to be crazy about my characters!


O.K., so who is my most enjoyable character? For me, it is a tossup. If Michael Stonebreaker is the most genuinely good person in the book, the opposite would have to be Pierce Armstrong, the really bad guy among many bad guys in The Revolutionists.
A friend and neighbor recently said to me, “Biff…your villains are really evil!” His statement made me feel good. I want my heroes to be GOOD and my villains to be EVIL! Pierce Armstrong and his butler are really horrible people…but wait…wait until you meet the villain in The Reconstructionists (coming this fall)!



The Reconstructionists Coming Soon!!Isn’t this fun? Good versus evil, right versus wrong, nice versus nasty…what’s not to like? It’s fiction, folks…and, if we can solve a few world-class problems along the way…so much the better!
