Hello there everyone, long time no write.
Working through a course at the moment, and they came up with an exercise to develop your character. I thought it was worth sharing.
The first it to list the major actions of the character from end to start, so here goes:-
Esa,
Sacrifices herself
Agrees to face Alphamor
Tapping into her power to save lives.
Discovers she's different, the glowing girl
Agrees to help in the fight
Reluctantly helps a 'spinner' from the second realm
Hides in an abandoned building
Now analyse the list to see the wants and needs of the character:-
Food and shelter, friendship, to know who she is, where she came from.
She is aware of her basic needs. When she's alone, she feels safe. She doesn't want company, however the final act shows she has friends, she is willing to give it all up for them. Tapping into her power, letting it grow, shows unconsciously, that she wants to know about her past, about her heritage.
How does she see herself:-
Streetwise, not intelligent, tough, a loner, independent, cautious, unlovable, damaged.
How others see her:-
Tough, no nonsense, thief, outsider.
Important physical characteristics:- A back full of scars and one wrapping around her neck.

A J Walters
Author Bio:
Having interests in history, romance and elements of erotica, she has brought all of these together in her debut publications; The Attraction Series.
Wanting to break the trend of size 12 virgins in books, A J Walters has introduced a new real woman in Isabel Chambers. She’s a size 18-20, working single mother who now feels is it her time to start living her life again. At the ripe young age of 39 (at time of writing 1st book), A J Walters also wanted to show that you can experience everything that a twenty-something would.
“I saw that a 39 year old isn’t quite at retirement age for fun, sex and finding love again. There are so many women out there that can be represented in books as well as the slim, innocent and beautiful types. Don’t get me wrong I love reading books with them in, but there is so many of them around now I felt it was time for something different. I’d like to think I brought my sense of humour across in it as well. I am ditsy, I suffer from ‘foot in mouth’ syndrome, but I can also be serious and sentimental. From the feedback I’ve had, apparently it makes for a great writing voice.”
A J Walters has since gone on to publish 3 books in The Attraction Series; An Acute Attraction and A Constant Attraction. The 3rd book of the series, An Enrapturing.
As well as writing this series of books, she has also written a short story for a summer anthology and is now an Amazon #1 Bestseller in Women's Fiction for her publication of Lust, Love, Dreams and Heartache: A book of romantic and erotic poetry.

Author Bio:
Co-Authors,
and sisters, Christa Gibbs and Jill Syed reside in Ontario, Canada. Born and
raised on da’Rock [a.k.a. St. John’s, Newfoundland], their laid back
personalities and eclectic sense of humor is indicative of their native roots.
Although fluent in Newfinese, both are quite eloquently spoken, showing no
remnants of an accent unless alcohol is involved.
Fluent in air-guitar [she trained in Europe], Christa, by day, transforms into her Executive role in the Property Management World. This wonderful position lends credence to her altruistic life experiences lived vicariously through the many residents within her keep. This translates beautifully to her evening endeavors, which include creating lovable characters and interesting storylines [when she’s not catering to her loving ‘Oooge’ — a.k.a. biker hubby]. An avid reader of erotic romance [upwards of two to three novels per week], Christa decided to give her own incessant fairytale sex-capade fantasies a voice.
When she is not behind the camera in her Photography Studio, Jill spends portions of her days mentally cataloging all the reasons why she shouldn’t become an indulgent drinker at the helm of her three young children during the absences of her Pilot husband [though you will hear her undying love and devotion for them often: “blessed”]. Passionately creative, Jill spent many years capturing life moments on film, canvas and even paper. Having dabbled in the writing of many children’s books, all of which ended up covered in dust and never carried through, clarity hit once she collaborated with her sister: “Ohhh, the steamy sex was the missing ingredient”.

the ultimate fantasy crush. You've seen him on the big screen - the fantasy man
you cheat on your husband with; the man you never expect to meet… But what if
you did? Perfect Plans, the first of a two-part series, takes you through this

and dreams meet reality; throwing her into a tail-spin of self-doubt and public

normalcy out of his world-famous reach. Aby and Alex face the obstacles of
their own realities, now intertwined, before succumbing to their questionable
fates. Are you ready to fall into your fantasy, when reality lurks right

I was six years old when I first took to the stage, and I’ve danced every day since. It’s the biggest part of who I am. The fuel that drives me forward.

The stars were perfectly aligned, and my fairy tale had slowly begun to play out like a beautifully scripted passage from a romance novel. I was all set to live my happily ever after…
Until I wasn’t.
If dancing was my heart, Daniel was the blood that kept it beating. I was content with supporting him as he worked towards his music dreams, but then he disappeared, leaving me scared, alone and suffocating under the crushing weight of his debts.
It’s said that opportunity often comes disguised as misfortune.
When one door closes, another one opens. But I wasn’t prepared for it to belong to Reveal, one of New York City’s most exclusive Burlesque Clubs.
It feels as though the universe is conspiring against me until fate thrusts two very different men into the equation. And what they have in common, no one could have predicted.

ALEXANDRA NORTH
Author Bio:
... is an Amazon bestselling author who came onto the writing scene in 2014.
She writes romance, with erotic themes, humour, drama and often suspense and
there is always a HEA at the end of a book/series.
Ms. North lives in the rambling lush hills of Yorkshire, United Kingdom with
her swoon-worthy husband and two children, 15 and 9. She worked as a Graphic
Designer & Illustrator, for over 18 years before she wrote her first book
and now combines design and writing in this new path when creating her book
covers and teasers.
Writing was always a hobby and took a back seat to University, work, parenthood
and unfortunately later, chronic long-term illness. One day she woke and
thought 'life's too short - I'm going to finish that blummin book!' She now
devotes her time to writing love stories full of humour and naughtiness. When
she isn't manically typing away or trying to be the model wife and mum,
Alexandra can be found shoe shopping (shoes are her weakness), cosying up with
back-to-back TV series and enjoying her very own Sebastian Silver.
Find her at the following social media sites;
The One Awakened
It began a decade ago with a spilt drink and a missed
opportunity amongst two people destined to be together. Now ten years on,
sexually frustrated Lucia Myers is seeing her friend as though it were the
first time…
Lu decides that he should be the one to encourage her inner wantonness. What
were friends for - if not to help when one was in need?
She forms a plan… a proposition of sorts; one night of pleasure, I’m open to
anything, with no ties - the text reads. She wants to be awakened by someone
she can truly trust; one with a skilled repertoire with the ladies and one who
will never want more from her – cue Sebastian - the ultimate alpha player!
The heat between them is scorching; the constant fight for control undeniable,
as they struggle between the blurred lines of the term ‘mates’.
Together they sizzle, but apart they are broken. They must become strangers,
and forget their friendship to become lovers, for Lucia to fulfill her desires
and for Sebastian to awaken her in a way no other man has achieved. Forces from
their past and present try to destroy their future and all the while, Lucia has
this feeling that she is being watched, by another…
The One Awakened is the first book in The One Trilogy and designed to be read
in sequence. It contains adult themes and is only suitable for over 18's.

Desperate for a sexy trilogy to wet your appetite after the
50 shades movie buzz? This book is erotic erotica at its best... look no
further!
The sensational follow-up to Book 1 in The One Trilogy, THE ONE AWAKENED....
Sebastian Silver had been Lucia Myers best friend for over a decade but one
proposition changed everything between them…
Her time with him had been everything she’d dreamed of; sexy forbidden,
liberating – friends becoming strangers to become lovers but with one huge
glitch – she fell head over Louboutin heels in love with him. That had never
been part of the plan, for either of them, nor had the arrival of Seb’s
girlfriend.
Now, Lu is faced with forging a new start without him in it; now she needs to
fix her broken heart. She throws herself into work but their joint business
collaborations soon find her back within his arms, as together they sizzle but
apart they are broken.

Claire shouldn't have seduced the one man that was
forbidden. Her boss.
But she did it anyway.
Taking a risk on the office gossip she overheard, she wanted to bring him to
his knees between her thighs, giving her the power she craved. But nothing
should have been that easy, should it?
The game didn't take long to turn into something less appealing, something that
even Claire no longer enjoyed.
But there was someone else who had his eyes set on her. Someone who had his own
intentions towards her.
Welcome to Claire’s story.
