Which Character Are You?

I make no secret of the fact that my characters run the show. They have ideas and opinions, and most of my cool plot twists arise from what-ifs that they inspire. 

Three years ago, I created a short, unscientific quiz to help readers figure out which character from Casting the First Stone and Chasing a Second Chance they're most like. I came across it today, and thought I'd share it again for those who hadn't seen it the first time.

As for me, I already know there's a little bit of me in all of my characters. As an author, it's unavoidable.

Have fun!

How’d you score?


Mostly A’s? You’re Angel. Marriage, family and traditional values are the backbone of your life, and you’ll do whatever’s necessary to stand up for what’s right, especially when it involves someone you love.

Mostly B’s? You’re Bets. Boyfriends and fun are important, but friends are essential. You’re loyal to those you love, which may or may not include your family, and you’ve seen enough to be wary of both church and tradition. There’s a reason they call marriage an institution, after all. 

Mostly C’s? You’re Charli. Level-headed, but still emotional, you often feel torn between your head and your heart. You don’t want to hurt anyone’s feelings, but you don’t like people pushing you around, either. You often wish life wasn’t so complicated.

Mostly D’s? You’re Jim. There’s right and there’s wrong and there’s rarely any in-between. You’re loyal to the people you love, but practical enough to know they’re imperfect and can complicate your life if you let them. You do what you have to do, knowing it won’t always make you popular. And you’re okay with that.

Mostly E’s? You’re Marita. Feisty and fiercely protective, you know what your priorities are, even if you get them confused sometimes. The traditions you grew up with are still rooted in your heart, but you have no qualms about following a different path if you think it will lead you in a better direction.
