I was just talking about differences in this post. (Actually, every single one of my books is connected in some way, but at the moment, I don't have many out, so it isn't very obvious. I'm a huge fan of Easter Eggs though!) There is a LOT of me in <i>The Ankulen</i>, especially in Jen. (I call her my introverted, organized half), and there is a LOT of me in Bookania, especially in Madeleine. (Incidentally, those are the characters in each that look like me. One of those almost always gets into my book. I have a very middle of the road appearance, so ... it works. And I always change it up. Jen has more freckles than I do and shorter, slightly frizzier hair, and Maddie has longer hair and a more pronounced nose. Very fun.)Kendra E.

I like ...The Ankulen sounds extremely interesting. I like the idea of making every book feel like a different author wrote it, but I think that you might want to leave your mark on every book. A Tale of Two Cities comes to mind, where it is clearly different from all of Dickens' other works, but he still left obvious signs that he was the author in some of the characters.Kathrynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05339091544962023545noreply@blogger.com
