The Story Behind the Story — An Author’s Masquerade

With our novels and our characters — whether they be good or evil — there’s always at least a little of our own principles, goals, etc., that work their way into those characters.

We’ll be asking our distinguished panelists two questions:

1. Which character or characters are you, the author, masquerading behind?

2. Would you, as the author, if placed in a dire situation, resort to extreme measures or any of the actions of a character in your book? And which one(s)?
