Welcome back to Romance Writers Weekly!!! Xio Axelrod http://xioaxelrod.com/ has asked us to answer the question “How much of yourself do you lend to your characters?” “What traits do your characters have that come from you?” “What about someone in your life?”
Well let me see, I would have to say one of the main things about some of my characters and myself is the fact that I love herbal healing. I’ve studied herbalism and often use this in my writings when dealing with injury or illness in my works.
Raven in Into the Darkness wears Dragon’s Blood. This is my all-time favorite scent and I wear it often myself J I also practice an earth based faith, as do my witches in my paranormal romances.
I would say the biggest thing that is the same between my characters and my real life would be the names in my Acceptance Series. My characters are named after my children and grandchildren:
Jennifer Nichole- daughter: Nichole Michaels
Stephen- son: Stephen Davis
Samuel- son: Samuel Davis
Skyler- grandson: Skyler Davis
Airianna- granddaughter: Anna Davis
Jessilynn “Ali” granddaughter: Jessie Carter
Ava granddaughter: Ava Sherwood
