Hi Carlie. Welcome to my blog. I have been anticipating which guest post suggestion you would choose and what you would have to share with us. I love learning about authors and characters, so this was an excellent choice.
When Sherry asked me to write about which of my characters I’d like to be and why, I had an “oh, poop!” moment. Which one do I choose? It would have been far easier to wax lyrical on the person I’d least like to be!
Every one of my main characters has their good and bad points, their admirable and not so admirable qualities. Some of them even possess some rather cool powers. So which one do I pick?
After heaps of soul-searching and hours of contemplation, I think I would have to go with Remy – my main female protagonist.
Remy is a beautiful, intelligent young woman. She’s got a great job, a wonderful fiancé who loves her to bits, a nice home and is on the verge of getting married. Sound too good to be true? Well it was. It was after Joshua vanished, Remy really began to find herself – who she is inside.
Despite all the heartache, emotion, pain and loneliness Remy suffers, she also finds an inner strength she didn’t know she possessed. It keeps her going on her long journey to try and find Joshua.
I admire Remy for the courage she showed to embark on such a difficult journey – not just because of how taxing it would be physically, but also the mental strain it would place upon her. The strength of her love for Joshua is intense and magnificent. How many of us would have the strength of character to put our life on hold and set off alone with only a vague plan and a raging desire to find our loved one? And to have the will to keep going after multiple rejections in every location visited?
Even when strange and frightening things begin to happen to Remy, leaving her questioning her sanity, she never once considers giving up the search. When she’s physically forced to abandon her voyage, she clings onto the love held so dear and the hope that she’ll find Joshua before too long. (I’m not giving away any spoilers, so you’ll have to read the books to find out if she does!)
Remy still maintains her sense of humour through it all, which I think is wonderful. It would be too easy in her situation to become completely melancholy and self-absorbed, yet she doesn’t. Her family, especially her twin, help to keep her spirits up; the relationship she has with Becky is fabulous and quite typical of identical twins. I grew up as an only child and envy Remy and Becky their closeness.
She isn’t perfect; like any human, she experiences doubts, has negative thoughts and days when it’s a struggle to take that next step. In her frustration she injures herself, gives into crying jags and drowns her sorrows a couple of times. But she can be forgiven for all of this and so much more, as her good points far outweigh the bad. And let’s face it – who among us wouldn’t react badly when nursing a broken heart?
In summation, Remy has the courage of her convictions and finds the inner strength to see them through, regardless of what’s thrown across her path. How can I not admire someone like that?
I hope I’m never in her position, but if I was, would I be as strong as Remy? I’d like to think so.
That was awesome Carlie. Thanks so much for stopping by and chatting.

Thanks for stopping by fundinmental!
I always wonder about an author’s favorite character, worst character and if any character in their story holds little pieces of the authors themselves. Sherry thanks for this post, and Carlie, thanks for sharing how you feel about Remy yourself. I like her spunk! :0)
Me too. I always like finding out about authors and their writing. I like to know how they choose the names and looks for their characters. I loved what Carlie had to say. I was torn between Joshua and Remy for my favorites, but I always love a strong, female protagonist.
Great insight provided by the author’s guest post. Love to hear the personal stories behind an author’s book.
Me too. Thanks Taylor.
I am racing to get through a weeks worth of emails!
I would also hope to be like Remy. Alas, as Iam older now, I doubt I would be as resilient, but would like to think in my younger days I was.
Great topic Sherry and a fun guest appearance Carlie!!
Thanks Laura. I’ll be looking forward to your thoughts on some of the other books I have showcased. ^_^
