A Goodreads user asked Cinda Williams Chima:

Do you live in Texas or another state? Where did you first want to write a book? Do you have any advice for someone who wants to write a book on the main characters of several series from different authors?

Cinda Williams Chima Born and raised in Ohio; currently living in North Carolina.

my advice would be that if you are writing a novel, to develop your own characters. Writers always learn from everything they read, and then create their own stories from their experiences in fiction and in real life.
