In my work I will always favor solid characters over a plot. Events happen to people; their responses make for the individuality of the predicaments they face. How will they rise or fall to their challenges?
That's storytelling, folks.
My first novel, GOTHIC DOO-WOP, chronicles a divorced probate attorney and her two teenaged daughters. One of them is a promising cellist who meets her challenge when she starts sleeping with her music professor. The other is a bad guitarist in a bad gothic rock band--her attitude is equally as bad as her playing. These characters must grow and change as their conflicts become more urgent. Will they rise or fall?
