I catch myself checking the exits when I shop, as though Andrew trained me to keep one eye on escape. Old habits of a soldier — even when written down — linger. How have your characters influenced you?.

Writing about Andrew McClary has revealed a vital truth to me: sometimes we do not choose our stories.
