Here at Characters Magazine, we built a fourth wall through your favorite books by interviewing your favorite characters!
We also LOVE meeting the creators of the universes, so we have interviewed them here!
Meet Melissa Bender, a wife to a FIFO miner. Mother of three. Passionate foodie, and a vivid dreamer. Living in a small beach town in the lovely Tasmania. She spends her time between home and down at the beach… making memories, and capturing the moments.
What’s the best part about being an author/writer?
Being able to express thoughts and feelings and potentially having an impact on the reader personally. I love creating stories for people to enjoy and love as much as I do.
Has any of your characters been inspired by real people?
Yes of course. In some way there is inspiration drawn from a real life experience that’s not necessarily from me personally, but something someone else has gone through. It could be a small character or lead or even the plot is based around that thing.
Which of your characters was the most fun to write?
The crazy ones. It’s always fun to have a insane psycho who causes a lot of problems for them all.
Which character of yours would you love to be real?
Jackson. I have a soft spot for him. I do love Judd tho.
How did you find having your characters interviewed for a magazine?
It was great fun! They get to have their own say and you can read what they’re up to or how they felt in a certain situation that wasn’t mentioned in the book.
