Amanda asked Debbie Macomber:

Debbie, how do you create such distinctive character voices? Each of your characters have such different speech patterns, conflicts, personalities, sense of humour etc. Do you model them off people you know? Where do they come from? Thank you, your biggest Aussie fan!

Debbie Macomber Amanda,

First off thank you for the very nice compliment regarding my characters. Basically, the characters come into my mind fully formed. It must be part of the gift God gave me as a storyteller.

-Debbie
