Greetings bright readers. Thanks for being here.
This is Kusha week all week here on the blog. The book is going through its final reader. She is half way through it and when completed I will turn it over to Kindle Direct at Amazon. Shortly after that it goes to My Space at Amazon to produce a paperback version.
Yesterday I told the tale of how Kusha came to be. To day we’ll talk about Max herself.
While I favor english as the primary language I wanted to include other cultures in the future history of the world. I fear that the U.S. is falling behind many other nations when it comes to education, specifically science education. If we don’t turn this around very soon the twenty-first will belong to other nations.
I wanted my hero to reflect the contribution other cultures are making to human progress. I chose to make her a multicultural person a “combo burrito” as we say in our family.
I wanted her strength to be in her brains and her heart. Literature is full of heroes who save the day with their muscle.
I have always in my real life been drawn to flawed heroes. Napoleon for example. He wrote the constitution that France still uses yet we and history all know his foibles. Another hero of my was Baron Richthofen, the Red Baron. He was a brilliant soldier and ace despite being a poor flyer.
Max is overly emotional. Her heart gets in her way. She is a brilliant individual but she often lets events around her get her down.
But fear not, she does get down occasionally but she has gathered around her a group of friends and allies who do not get down at times and they will see that Max pushes on.
Never mix red wine and Oodo.
