Ariana asked Karen Witemeyer:

Hi! I have read every one of your books except for Love on the Mend and I absolutely loved them all! I was wondering how you come up with different characters for each book and still make all of them so perfect in their own way?

Karen Witemeyer Hi, Ariana. Thanks so much for your note! I'm thrilled that you have enjoyed my stories so well.

I'll admit that the more books I publish, the more difficult it becomes to create characters that feel fresh and unique. I try to give them quirks and personality traits that set them apart, along with a backstory that fits only them. That's what makes each of us unique in real life, so I try to carry that over into my characters.

It's a challenge for sure, but with God's help, I hope to continue bringing characters to life that will touch readers' hearts.

Thanks, Ariana! Happy reading. :-)
