Kathy Reichs:
Kathy, I've read every book since the first one! I love the series. I'm a reader, and eventually gave up on the tv show. It seemed like more of a prequel to the books. How do you keep the character of Tempe so vibrantly alive after all these years? I am a retired security consultant and private investigator. I would have loved to have had her in my life throughout my long career.

Pacing is so important when writing a series. The characters have to keep evolving or readers will become disinterested. One good way to do that is to reveal something about the character from the past. Or to present a new personal challenge then show how the character reacts and attempts to resolve the situation.
