Oftentimes when authors write a book, they create character sketches to help them understand the backgrounds and psyches of the characters. These sketches help determine characters’ motivations and how they might interact with other characters. Some of these details are mentioned in the book; other details are known only to the author; still other details were completely changed as I got to know the characters and their decisions better.
Here are some sketches I developed prior to writing From The Dead. I referred to these frequently.
