Kit is a fairly major character, and he is a daemon. If you mean why aren't the two main protagonists daemons it's because I was more interested in witches and vampires.

I started reading A Discovery of Witches because of a friend's recommendation. I was intrigued by the comment she made about the strength and intelligence of your female characters. How was this a focus of your's? It came across so naturally, and I've found so few books with genuinely whole characters.

Deborah Harkness:
For years I have had story ideas and actual characters in my head. I've never been able to effectively translate them to a written story (even for my own purposes--not necessarily publication). Have tried to start writing even the smallest parts down--but get caught up in the "boil the ocean" of writing the whole thing--and stop before I really start. Any tips based on your experience with fiction you can share?
