Darren Shan:
How can you characterize the characters to be so real? i mean there was a time when i almost thought Darren and Larten (<3) were real and you're just the narrator of their life. ( :D) what is the key point to create such believable characters?
Darren Shan
There's no easy answer to this. It's simply a skill that writers pick up with lots of practice and time. The more work you put into writing, the more you find yourself able to achieve. When I started out, my characters were flat and uninteresting, but over the years, as my skills developed, they began to come to life on the page. I can't properly explain how, because I don't truly know.

How did you feel when you killed Kurda? I remember crying. He was one of my favorite vampires in the whole series. And what about Darren? How could you make yourself kill him off? He was soo amazing! - BTW; I loved the conclusion to the series either way, thank you for your work.
