Historical Fiction Update: Character flaws & much, much better traits!

As Jillianne Hamilton shares in this week’s PLW Q&A:

“All readers adore characters with appealing traits: bravery, determination, intelligent, wit, generosity or charm.

However, to make a character fully real and believable, authors must give their characters flaws.

It’s their flaws that can actually make a character the most interesting and relatable.

The right combination of traits and flaws can make a good character truly great.”

 

I totally agree with Jillianne, and was glad to include a few things about my heroine Viola Vermillion in this week’s blog.

Hope you stop by!
