Pam C. asked Helen Golden:

How do you keep track of characters and details from book to book in a series?

Helen Golden Good question Pam! I create a file for each book in the software I write in and in it I have my character profiles, so each time I start a new file for the next book I transfer my character profiles over. I then just have to remember to age them depending on when their birthday was (yes I know my character's birthdays!). Regarding details from previous books in the series, when you have read them through as many times as I have (early drafts, changes from my editor, changes from the proofreader and the final read throughs) you tend to remember the details. I also go back and check things from previous books, as does my editor. I hope that answers your question. Thanks Helen
