Behind the Story: Katie

Do you ever wonder where a character came from in an author's mind? Sometimes, I wonder where a character came from, and I'm the one writing the story. My husband doesn't understand.
When I first started imagining Destination: Romance, I could see the opening scene (poor Katie) and how she meets Camden. And I could tell she wasn't gung-ho to be on this trip with Bree and Skye. But I also knew she was a loyal friend who wanted to make Bree happy with this last trip together before Bree gets married. And the more I wrote, the more complicated Katie became.

Katie isn't just a good friend. She's also dealing with quite a bit. Changes throw her off, new situations overwhelm her, and she's carrying around some past trauma that adds some extra stress to this trip.
She's also a great sister and aunt. Loves history and books and Braves baseball. And has curly hair and freckles. She kicks butt when playing cards games with friends and sorts her candy by color before eating it. To unwind, she does yoga.
What do you think? Does Katie sound like a fun person to take a roadtrip with?
