Cryztal asked C.J. Redwine:

Did you create your Defiance characters based on real people you know or did you just creatively come up with them?

C.J. Redwine My characters always arrive in my mind as fully formed people. I just have the delightful task of discovering who they are. I'm constantly observing people, how they move and interact, what they fear, what they love, and how both of those drive their choices. I think my characters are a collection of things I've observed, but they are their own individuals. While I might pull a detail or two from someone I know (for example, Oliver's gentle nature and love of baking are from my beloved Grandpa P.), for the most part, I find it awfully distracting to have my characters resemble anyone I know.

I absolutely LOVED these books but I can't seem to find an audio copy. I love books so much I use the Audible app by Amazon to listen to books while I work, then I go home and read more books! Do you have any plans for an audio production of this trilogy?

Asia asked C.J. Redwine:

Hi this is kind of a stupid question but I was wondering how old you pictured the commander being because I never was quite sure?So far I've only read defiance and loved it so I don't know if you mentioned it in the other books or not.
