Neil Turner asked Neil Turner:

Do you have all the characters firmly in your mind when you start writing or do they appear as you are writing?

Neil Turner I love this question! As I generally write in a series, I tend to know who’s going to be in a story, but there’s always at least one character I don’t see coming. Sometimes a twist in the story requires a new person, other times a character simply forces their way out of my head and onto the page. I love it when that happens, as these tend to be inimitable folks who are a lot of fun. Our computer hacker, Chippy, is such a character. Turning the computer geek stereotype on its head made for some unexpected fun.
