It's almost as if they're saying, "I'm not going to make the effort to tell you about myself unless I see you're making the effort to tell the story."Larry Kollarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08317037795075278427noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3546477542650006798.post-73069345862432329812008-01-23T07:41:00.000-05:002008-01-23T07:41:00.000-05:00Hmmm...Detective Roger Stark is a protagonist, co-...Hmmm...Detective Roger Stark is a protagonist, co-protagonist, or minor character in all my novels. He (and his wife, Mary) started as walk-on characters in an earlier abandoned novel. I always had him as a less-brawny, Opie Taylor, man of quickness and brains not brawn and not always given the respect he actually deserves on first glance. His physical appearance hasn't changed much, but his psychological make-up got better grounded with each novel and each rewrite of each novel. Or, at least I think it has. :-)Rick Bylinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10493557860835710721noreply@blogger.com
