What kind of characters tend to find their way into your stories? I like the ones with their heart in the right place but slightly lost in the forest of life. Why do your characters keep crossing into each other’s worlds? It gives me a sense of continuity and comfort to know that characters I grew to love continue their lives even after our story-time together is over. It also contributes to the sense of universe I am crafting. Characters, just like real people, do not exist in isolation; these crossovers and cameos are there to show that. I also like hanging out with quality fictional people, but I do not always enjoy long series because they can make me feel hostage to a story. I prefer loosely interlinked narratives because they offer continuity without chaining me to a single storyline.
