Maggie Mae Castro, the heroine of my Maggie Mae
Misadventures series, is not your typical heroine. She has tattoos that
document her mistakes and life lessons she’s learned, a criminal record,
impulse control issues, and an anger management problem. She gets arrested as
often as most people go to the grocery store. And by the end of the first book,
Wake Up Maggie, she’s on parole.
She’s definitely not perfect. She messes up and often does
the wrong thing for the right reason. Despite all of that, she has a strong
sense of right and wrong and a code of ethics that she lives by.
Maggie also recognizes that she’s a work in progress. In
You’re Mine, Maggie, she’s trying really hard to change her ways and curb her
impulses. But change is a hard and she often takes a step and a half back for
every two or three she manages to take forward.
In the third book, Find Me Maggie, her biggest secret is
revealed. A secret that continues to impact her life in ways that she never
imagined. Maggie is one of the most interesting and unpredictable characters
I’ve ever written. I literally never know what she’s going to say or do next.
She’s the most real non-real person I’ve ever written.
Can characters be too perfect? Do you as a reader ever long
for a character who is less than perfect?
