My writing process is shaped by my
personality along with years of teaching students how to write and
editing in the academic world. I tend to be a very linear thinker,
so for me the writing process always starts with a very complete
outline and then moves through the story from beginning to end. For
Blood Avenged, I already had the character of Vasilije because he'd
appeared in a novella I'd written entitled Vampire Dreams. So the
idea of my hero was set, but he'd been a very selfish character in
that story, so I had the job to show the other, more appealing side
of Vasilije in his book.
