One of the first processes I go through to get to know the characters I want to have in my novel, is to complete a character Q&A. The template I use is assembled from suggestions made by a number of writing classes and books on writing, and I add to or subtract from it as I see fit, given the story and the role. Here you can read my character Q&A for Claire, who is one of the minor, contemporary characters in Thalassa.

Thalassa is a contemporary story about historical family stories: some spoken, some written, and some hidden away only to come to light when the person who hid them no longer needs to keep them secret.
It’s a story about the connections that exist between us, and the fateful decisions we make, whether by coincidence, logic or by the will of a God.
Set over 200 years in the beautiful water-scapes of Milos in Greece, the Norfolk coast in England and the Hawkesbury River in Australia, Thalassa is a love-story that explores family ties, grief, loyalty, obligation and love that endures long after those who love have been torn apart.
