I'm drawn to female characters; not all of them are strong characters.

I write characters. Some of those characters are women.

I like strong female characters. I try to write them as role models for young girls.

I like female characters that are strong in their own right and not because the author said so.

As a writer, as much as I try, I can't stop writing female characters. They have so much more to offer; they have to wear so many different hats. There's so much wonderful gray matter in a female's life that it just makes for a stronger character.

I've always had difficulties with female characters.

I love writing about men. To get by in the world you have to know how men think. Not that all guys think alike, but women tend to think about more things at the same time, an overgeneralization, but I find it easier to make my male characters focus than I do my female characters.

I like my male characters as much my female characters, but I always seem to have less for them to say.

I can't imagine writing a book without some strong female characters, unless that was a demand of the setting.

I try to write about real women, real people - in other words flawed characters.
