Despite following an outline... my story ended differently than I'd originally planned. My protagonist Kurtis Warde rejected the love interest I'd written for him. I pushed them together, but I couldn't convince him that she was "the one" for him. Another surprise... My heroes often resemble my husband, in some way or form, but Kurtis Warde was greatly (subconsciously) influenced by my personal experiences. When rereading my book, I realized I had been harbouring some anger. Understanding my character and helping him work through his issues was therapeutic for me.Maya Tylernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8349236360110556646.post-68014646234187063502019-07-26T09:53:08.730-04:002019-07-26T09:53:08.730-04:00Usually, stories and or characters surprise author...Usually, stories and or characters surprise authors in some way.

I'm always thinking of story ideas. Every time I get an idea for a new story, I write it down somewhere. When I'm ready to start a new project, I see if any of those ideas feel right.<br /><br />I published A Vampire's Tale (The Magicals Series, Book #1) in March of 2017 and started writing A Wizard's Choice about 9 months later. But I often work on multiple projects at the same time. Compile research. Write short stories.

However, when I read the book later, I often realize that I've based a character, for instance the hero, on someone I know, like my husband. In A Wizard's Choice, I realized a lot of Kurtis Warde came from me personally—anger, conflicting expectations, complex introspect... I can't claim all aspects though... we had several disagreements over his coarse language. lolMaya Tylernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8349236360110556646.post-43201146355154164472019-07-24T12:39:01.344-04:002019-07-24T12:39:01.344-04:00Sounds like a good book.Sounds like a good book.Rita Wrayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16115952708502482157noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8349236360110556646.post-24024717023073117432019-07-24T12:17:54.729-04:002019-07-24T12:17:54.729-04:00Sounds like a book I'll enjoy reading!Sounds like a book I'll enjoy reading!Victoria Alexanderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00295305682468644975noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8349236360110556646.post-48582768136889863362019-07-24T11:08:49.123-04:002019-07-24T11:08:49.123-04:00Are any of the people in this book based off of pe...Are any of the people in this book based off of people that you know?Bernie Wallacehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14026655873754652531noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8349236360110556646.post-89421037917113724132019-07-24T09:44:31.421-04:002019-07-24T09:44:31.421-04:00Thanks for the lovely interview.Thanks for the lovely interview.Maya Tylernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8349236360110556646.post-90157201748310829432019-07-24T05:56:18.928-04:002019-07-24T05:56:18.928-04:00Congrats on this tour and thank for the opportunit...Congrats on this tour and thank for the opportunity to read about another great book out there to read.
