Day #7 of The Captive Imposter Blog Tour

Have you ever wondered how an author sees their characters? For the most part I don’t usually have a clear idea of “who” my hero and heroine look like until I’m almost finished writing/completing the book. I try to focus primarily on what’s happening on the inside of the characters. Then, as they are finally growing into the oneness of their relationship, I can better see their physical traits.

This Week’s Reviews

of The Captive Imposter

“One thing I’ve come to love about Ms. Crandall’s writing is her ability to create palpable romantic tension. You can’t help but swoon a little (or a lot!) when you read the interactions between Dexter and Estella.” 
 ~ Sarah, Amazon 5-star Reviewer

“I cannot express how much I enjoy Dawn’s writing style.  How the first person POV draws me so deeply into her stories and into her main character.” 
~ Aerykah, Expressions of Me.

“Estella fought the social expectations of her time and status, longing to be seen for who she was as a person and not for her wealth. I suspect there are many who fight the same struggles today, whether due to wealth or the lack of it.” 
~ Sarah Ruut, Faith, Fictions & Fun

“Dawn’s character depictions are the best. She doesn’t pile it all on about how they look nor does she continuously bring to point how good looking they are so you miss the whole story line.” 
~ Nicki Olsen, Confessions of a Teenage Bookworm 

“I understood Estella’s questions of/about/for God and related so closely in my own life that this book ended up deeply personal for me. When I say I cried, I really cried, not just a lone tear. When a book makes me feel that strongly, I love it!” 
~ Katie Edgar, Katie’s Life of Books.

“Aside from her superb and compelling writing style, the detail and attention to which Crandall infuses her setting demonstrates just how much she loves this area. I have never been to Maine but have no doubt that my imaginings of the state are just what Crandall wants her readers to see.” 
~ Marisa Deshaise, A Way with Words

“Crandall rocked the first person narrative and I while I often found myself at odds with her characters, I can’t deny my appreciation for the style and tone of her work.” 
~ Erin Davies reviewed The Hesitant Heiress, Flashlight Commentary
