Do you prefer to write standalone titles or is it your preference to stick with developed characters?

C.A. King I think of my characters like children. In the beginning of a series, they are in their "raw" form and that is deliberate on my part. I want the reader to be there and actually see what makes them who they are.

In my personal opinion there isn't enough time in one book to experience the growing pains of life. In a series, however, you have a chance for not only the protagonist to learn, but, also really delve deep into expanding on the supporting characters as well.

It's important to me, that if a person takes the time to read my books, they can fully invest their emotions into every aspect. When you meet a character, they have a purpose and aren't just there for page filler. To me, there is nothing worse than having someone introduced into a story and never hearing about them again.

Thanks for asking
