I have done this so many times. I’ve been out to dinner with my husband discussing other things and just blurted out something having to do with one of my characters.
It’s funny but probably more to me than my husband.
Characters become so much a part of an author. I’m sure this is because they originate in us and usually have some of our characteristics.
Recently, my mother, who read my book and loved it, told me it took her till halfway through reading it before she stopped seeing me as one of the main characters.
Anyway, our characters become us, just as we become them. Sometimes in big ways, other times, less so.
I am pleased to say that my free promo is going very well. So far, over 500 people have picked up my book.
Now my biggest wish is that I get some reviews out of it, but mostly I hope they enjoy the book.
