Who is your favorite character (from your books) and why ? Also from other people's books, who is your favorite characters?
Seré Prince Halverson
Hi April,
Please forgive my slow reply--I didn't see your question until now! Picking a favorite character is a bit like picking a favorite child: impossible. I love some of my characters because they were easy to work with. They showed up every day and revealed who they were. Others I love because they've challenged me in new ways or taught me or surprised me. A lot of them did all of the above. I will say that Nadia did all of the above and more. My favorite characters from other books? I have many. But at the top of the list are Cal from Middlesex, Olive Kitteridge, Owen Meany, Liesel (and Rudy) from The Book Thief, Adah from The Poisonwood Bible, Alma from The Signature of All Things, Ruby from Cold Mountain. From childhood: Anne Shirley from Anne of Green Gables and Karana from Island of the Blue Dolphins. Thanks for your questions!

Re All the Winter’s After: Great read! Loved it. Reminded me of another story that I couldn’t put my finger on until today: One my favorite television shows of the late 1990s: Northern Exposure, starring Rob Morrow and Janine Turner. Follows a similar story arc wherein Morrow, an outsider falls in love with the outdoorsy Turner, and the people and places surrounding fictional Cicely, Alaska. Were you perhaps a fan? ;)
