Hi Kim, ‘the Hollows’ is my absolute favourite urban fantasy series! :) I think it’s incredible that the series has continued for so long and yet every chapter always feels new and exciting. Throughout the series there’s been a lot of character growth, and I was wondering if you planned the path of each character from the start, or did you just go with what felt natural as the series progressed?
For example, characters like Trent and Al started off in ‘Dead Witch Walking’ as the “bad guys” but we started rooting for them over time as they proved themselves capable of affection. But then there’s Nick who begins the story as loveable and interesting but induces murderous rage in the later books as he remains incomprehensibly selfish.
So did you always intend to develop the characters this way, or did you realise at some point while writing the potential for goodness in Trent and Al and douchebaggery in Nick?
