Another Character Preview

I’ve had a good writing day so far, and when I have good writing days (or even decent writing days), all I want to do is talk about the book I’m writing. (I know…I’m such a dork. Shut up.) So, I figured, since I’ve already shared a preview of Alana with you, I’d share a preview of Kara this time. If you’ve finished The Stone of the Eklektos, you may have an idea of who Kara is and the kind of role that she plays in the rest of the series. (Hint: Pay attention to what Erik says to Rose and what Alana says to Erik.) Kara is my absolute favorite character to write. She is so much fun, and in my opinion, she’s the most bad-butt character of the entire series. As a former Viking, she has crazy-awesome battle skills, and she’s as sly and cunning as it gets. Interesting fact: I originally wrote Kara as one of the bad guys. It just made sense, considering she is in a relationship with Alana (the antagonist) and is second-in-command to Aaron (who definitely straddles the evil-line). But then, she blossomed as a character and turned out to be one of the good guys. Ha, who am I kidding? Kara is not “good,” exactly. She is still very much “bad,” just with some good mixed in, haha. Anyway, I’m in a good mood because I’ve been writing Kara scenes all day, and I thought I’d share a little of my weird good mood with you. I hope you all like Kara’s character as much as I do. 🙂
