When he first showed up he was 15 or something. Now he's a grown man (in the series).<br /><br />Karen Marie Moning has said that it was a secondary character in the TV series Witchblade that served as an inspiration for her Jericho Barrons character. (Now That's one secondary character I have to check out!)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04445250635088830552noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-133132309124375119.post-65539657034516425662010-12-04T09:26:28.100-05:002010-12-04T09:26:28.100-05:00Liz, I have to admit, I had more fun writing the s...Liz, I have to admit, I had more fun writing the secondary character in my last mss and in this one.Shawnhttp://Bellsouth.netnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-133132309124375119.post-54433231524565673152010-12-04T09:23:35.159-05:002010-12-04T09:23:35.159-05:00Thanks for stopping by Marie!Thanks for stopping by Marie!Shawnhttp://Bellsouth.netnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-133132309124375119.post-3709838440504125132010-12-04T07:26:04.834-05:002010-12-04T07:26:04.834-05:00I think secondary characters are more fun to write...I think secondary characters are more fun to write, too, than the main protagonists.

There have been times when reading a book that I just can't get into it-and I realize the secondary person is either not there or done badly. They may not get the press the leads get, but many a book would be lost without them.<br /><br />Great post!Marie Andreashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11422636765580836358noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-133132309124375119.post-27116545588569229702010-12-03T23:09:52.763-05:002010-12-03T23:09:52.763-05:00That's exactly what I'm talking about Maev...That's exactly what I'm talking about Maeve.

They actually add depth to your main characters. It's kind of like popular t.v. shows that create successful spin-offs from the supporting actors.Maeve Greysonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14947265251857551496noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-133132309124375119.post-42204866587884790112010-12-03T19:51:06.896-05:002010-12-03T19:51:06.896-05:00D'Ann, I happen to agree with you there.

And I get really irritated if the heroine starts treating him in a way she wouldn' t even treat her best girlfriend.Shawnhttp://Bellsouth.netnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-133132309124375119.post-87972319575121273202010-12-03T19:05:24.225-05:002010-12-03T19:05:24.225-05:00I love a good secondary character...one you're...I love a good secondary character...one you're just hoping gets their own book sometime!

They are so cookie cutter. I like funny, too, but it's hard not to overshoot your heroine.D'Annhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05333880627045486088noreply@blogger.com
