The Return of Bale

Characters

I am writing book two in this Scifi series currently.

One thing I like to do is to base characters on actual people. I have photos of some of the people that make it easier for me to visualize the characters, plot and actions.

I was lucky enough to find a model that actually fit the description of one of my characters!

This character appears briefly in book one and has a much larger role in book two.

It was fun to take casual pics. Out of the 600 or so that I took, I might have 20 that are decent.

Bitches

I am working on a character for my next book that is a real bitch. The kind of bitch that is so hated that you want to face-punch her.

I am developing the character so the reader will hate her so much, that when she finally gets her just rewards they will cheer.

Here are some of her facets:

• Married, but never had a job. Lazy. Lies about "all the work she does".
• Abusive both mentally and physically to her husband and children.
• Tries to constantly control her husband and kids via manipulation and guilt.
• Alienates his friends to isolate him.
• Constantly nags and berates him.
• Lies to him.
• Spies on him. Reads his texts, emails and Facebook.
• Screams at and hits the kids. 
• Has a favorite child that is spoiled to the core.
• She is a serious racist but keeps it to herself.
• Always criticizes and see the worst in people. 
• She holds grudges forever, even against family members.
• Has no real friends but pretends to have them.
• Pretends to be religious.
• Secretly she is cheating on her husband.
• She demands to control the money to hide her cheating and expenses from frivolous shopping.
• She tries to murder him but fails.
