March 2018: Runaway Characters
~ Ruth A. Casie ~
CTR asked:
How do you handle characters who change personality without your say so? Or, how do you handle characters whose spontaneous actions change the plot or course of the story?
Ruth A. Casie said:
I give them room and let them grow. In my Knight of Rapture two-thirds of the way through the book I found out that the secondary characters who were brother and sister were twins. It worked. So I went back and edited in the information.
There are times when some of my character’s ideas just don’t work. I have to reel them in (throw out those words and pages), basically take back control.

The Guardian’s Witch
[Historical Fantasy Romance]
England, 1290
Lord Alex Stelton can’t resist a challenge, especially one with a prize like this: protect a castle on the Scottish border for a year, and it’s his. Desperate for land of his own, he’ll do anything to win the estate—even enter a proxy marriage to Lady Lisbeth Reynolds, the rumored witch who lives there.
Feared and scorned for her second sight, Lisbeth swore she’d never marry, but she is drawn to the handsome, confident Alex. She sees great love with him but fears what he would think of her gift and her visions of a traitor in their midst.
Despite his own vow never to fall in love, Alex can’t get the alluring Lisbeth out of his mind and is driven to protect her when attacks begin on the border. But as her visions of danger intensify, Lisbeth knows it is she who must protect him. Realizing they’ll secure their future only by facing the threat together, she must choose between keeping her magic a secret and losing the man she loves.
