About the author

Author Candy Gourlay has created all kinds of characters: A small boy who turns into a giant, a girl who wants to see her mother’s ghost, a tribal boy who’s never seen the outside world, a grumpy explorer, a cowgirl in a Wild West Show. Join Candy in a fun discussion of how to design characters, how a story can grow out of a character, and how the best characters always leave you yearning to spend more time with them.
