Quinn Grady is the Louise to main character Avery Blair's Thelma. The Shirley to her Laverne. The Ethel to her Lucy. Or, for the younger crowd, the Harper to her Alex, the Willow to her Buffy, the...well, you get the idea.
I love writing the "best friend" character as much as--and at times even more than--the main character in a story. It's an interesting challenge to make the best friend be more than just a sidekick, more than just a sounding board or scenery for the main character to play off of. Jolene and I both had a clear vision for who we wanted Quinn to be, and she sprang to life right alongside Avery, with her own story to tell. It's a very different story than Avery's, and one that will profoundly change her--if she survives its final act.
Without further ado...
