Samantha Bell

Alicia Jones at college

Before I started writing Future Vision, a lot of thought went into what the main character, Samantha Bell, would look like.  Samantha has a lot in common with me.  However, I didn't want her to look exactly like me because I wanted her to take on her own personality.  So, I finally decided on having her look mostly like my younger sister, Alicia (pictured left).  In this way, Samantha still has things in common with me, but she's not me, and I was able to write freely!
