Many times since Shadow War came out I have been ask about some of the main characters. Did I base them on real people ect.? All characters are fictional though some have the names of a dear friends. Others such as Mitch Fox,Doc,Wigman, Winchester and even the President elect are based roughly on real peoples characteristics. Lofton for example is roughly based on My Uncle John. Knowing how that person will act or react brings a certain life to the fictional character. I have also been ask about Jim Kelley, and close friends know Kelley was based on my own personality. He is no nonsense, plain spoken, and quick to action. Mostly he is honest, and feels duty bound in his actions. And like myself would prefer to be fly fishing a quite stream over just about anything city life might offer. The story moves kind of slow the first few chapters to introduce the characters and let the reader know what they are all about. I think it helps to understand the characters before you get into the meat of the story. And for those who enjoyed Shadow War you will be happy to know almost all the team characters return in SWII, Deadly Contact. {post your questions about any of the characters I will be happy to follow up on anything you ask} TR
