As a reader, donโt you just love finding characters youโd like to have as
friends? Or for back up if life got down right dangerous? Or, oo-la-la, as a
secret admirer if not a lover?
I adore it when I become attached to the characters in books. Those I meet in
only one book, Iโll revisit by rereading over and over. Those I meet in a
series, I get to revisit with each new book. And, yes, I have been known to
reread every book in a series before I read the newest one, if only to touch
base and catch up.
As a writer, Iโve grown attached to my own characters. So much so, that they
are no longer merely โimaginaryโ friends โ theyโre full-scale invisible ones!

I love it when you can visually see those characters that just jump off the page. The author describes him/her and you mold that person in your mind and then you see them. They last sometimes long after the pages close.
