Hi Susan, I’m currently on deadly game and curious about your treatment of the characters William and orelia. How did you form their story? (Orelia is undeserving of anything meteoric, right?)

Hi Kristie,
Thanks for reading my book and your question. It's actually Best Seller you're referring to but that's okay because I have another book called Deadly Messengers, so easy to get confused. :)
The book was meant to be only about William and to be a novella (not too long) but my husband thought William's rants in the beginning, whilst entertaining, were too much, so he suggested I add another character to alternate between William and the new character.
They (Nem) were only meant to be in the book for about three or four chapters. However, like most characters of mine, she had a story to tell and wanted to be a bigger part of the book.
So that's how they came to be. But I did set out to make readers second-guess who they empathized with and that somewhere in the middle you would start to swap your emotions for each characters. I thought that would be fun.
Kristie, I'm not sure if you are in my Facebook group but I've done a recent Facebook Live video talking about Best Seller. You might like to join us and take a look. It's a fun group too. https://www.facebook.com/groups/Reade...
