Guest blog at Fresh Fiction

Today's stop on the Blog Tour is Fresh Fiction, where I discuss how a character's place and time of origin affect his or her personality. Whether it's an economically ravaged Youngstown, Ohio, or the segregated Deep South in the early 20th Century, or the corn fields of Saskatchewan, the characters in Wicked Game each have roots that make them who they are--or who they try not to be.

We all come from somewhere. So stop by and tell us how your background has affected who you are. Do you embrace it or rebel against it? Are your favorite characters a product of their hometowns? Or just come by and say hi to an awesome blog.
