"My character-driven books have diverse storylines. The characters in my novels, while very different and complex, reveal universal concerns and emotions. 
No matter what the storyline, it is through this human attachment with the characters that make each story come alive. I add some suspense and a little mystery with a twist of surprise to the recipe. If my readers find they can't stop thinking about the story and talk as if they actually know my characters, then I have done my job well."
