Are you my reader?

As much as I wish everyone would read and could enjoy my writing, the truth is not everyone will. This is why, as authors we are always told to identify our ideal reader. I don’t believe it works that well to sit down and say my idea reader is between these ages and does these things and has these habits.

What I can say is that you’re my reader if you love:

• character driven stories;
• exploring different worlds and people;
• exploring human nature;
• stories where life is never as simple as right or wrong;
• larger than life situations and characters who face human problems;
• characters that have to make the difficult decisions;
• characters who make their own path, throwing away the map and facing the consequences.
