While working on Book 3 of the Hero in Paradise Series, The Fallen Hero, I hit a snag when I kept introducing new characters but couldn’t figure out how to make them interact with my main characters, Julian and Mena. Last week I discussed using personality assessments to understand my characters. In Episode 53, I talk about delving into what motivates characters and how that helps to make more interesting scenes. I also give insight into the motivation of Julian and Mena as well as secondary characters from The Accidental Hero, Dawn, and Kendrick.
