I grew up in a community where it was not the exception to be a good girl. It was sort of expected. And all of my friends were good girls too, and my boyfriends were good boys. Everybody was pretty nice. And that affects how I write my characters. There aren't very many bad guys in my novels. ↗

My character in 'Prison Break' needs to be formidable. In reality, I'm not very tough at all. ↗
