J. Lynn Else asked C.H. Armstrong:

What qualities make up your favorite characters in literature and why? Have these great characters influenced you as an author? Best wishes on your book blitz today (1/18/16)!

C.H. Armstrong Oh gosh...great question.

Without a doubt, my all-time favorite character in literature is Atticus Finch. I love that he has to make some tough decisions, and standing up for "right" puts him in the crossfire of those who would rather "follow" than "lead."

I don't know that I've been influenced so much by the characters as an author, but certainly as a human being. I love the characters in Harper Lee's masterpiece, and certainly Atticus Finch's strong sense of right and fair has influenced me as a human being. :)
