Character Backstories
An opportunity to learn more about the characters in
‘The Letter Series’
Why Have Character Backstories?
Have you ever read a fictional tale with characters you’d love to know more about? This has often happened to me. Since I began writing, I’ve come to understand that in the novel, it isn’t possible to tell every detail about even the most fascinating of characters. Space and interest don’t allow it. To give readers a better understanding of my narratives, I have chosen to write backstories for some of the main characters. These will be presented in episodes here and on Facebook. I would love to hear your thoughts on this idea.
I trust you will like the concept and that the character backstories will enhance your reading experience.
