The Inside Story • Gothic Characters

As the year comes to a close, I’ve decided to reintroduce characters from my books. Each week, I’ll share one or two of my characters. Some you will love and some…You may despise.


Gothic characters allow an author to create broken, twisted, and often gallant characters. Regardless of the chosen personality, the characters are complex. This is one of the components of the genre that I love.


The first time I wrote the death of a character I cried. My stomach twisted into knots as I tried to envision how she felt along with the angst of her parents and the mindset of her murderer.


In one of my most popular books–Gaston Hall, a Southern Gothic Ghost story. You will meet a cast of empathetic, sympathetic, broken, and vile characters.


Della Rayburn, the matron of the home for orphaned and abandoned children is one of my most tragic and vile characters. But, what drove this woman, left widowed in the aftermath of the Civil War to take such actions? Love? Betrayal? Or, something else?
