I must make it clear I am not obsessed by Ian Rankin - I just admire his work. I admire and read novels written by many authors from different genres and I am sure their names will crop up in my blogs ; however, Ian Rankin's website gave me an idea. I chose four of my main characters that appeared in both Pain and Telepathy - Damien, Angel, Laurel and the Doctor, and then I decided to profile them on my website. I would recommend any author, aspiring or well-renowned to try this. Not only does it help to get to know your characters and to understand them it also helps you to see the loop holes and flaws you have created in your characters. I will continue to profile my characters but not always publish them on the website.
