Character Picture Board
Characters are the most important element of any well-crafted story. So, not surprisingly, a lot goes into creating them. Many writers develop full histories and personality descriptions for even minor characters, including things like where they were born and details of their childhood—even though none of that information ever makes it into the story. And of course, authors need to consider the character's physical appearance. What color are their hair and eyes, what is their race? Are they short, tall, portly, skinny? Even a carefully chosen name can enhance the image the author is creating.

The King’s Jewel World – Marywood University
My husband and I made an impromptu trip to Marywood University this past week-end. This Catholic liberal arts university, located in Scranton, PA, is mentioned in The King’s Jewel series as the place where Alexander works. There is even a scene set on the campus in the third book ‘Deaglan’s Deception’. The campus is picturesque, with lush landscaping and spectacular views of the surrounding mountains. I took a few photos so you can see for yourself! Click on the picture below to see all of the photos:
