How many times can you spot the letter "i" in:
Killer Characters: What Happens When Authors Imaginations Run Wild?
What Happens When Authors Imaginations Run Wild?
Authors Heather Blake and Denise Swanson spent some quality time together and wondered what would happen if their characters ever found themselves in the same room and started chatting.
Darcy Merriweather: Where are we? This isn’t anywhere in the Enchanted Village. Are you the Elder?
Devereaux Sinclair: Who the heck is the Elder and what the heck is the Enchanted Village?
Dev: Isn’t that the Chicago skyline in the distance? But how did I get from Shadow Bend, Missouri to Illinois?
Darcy: Don’t look at me. I’m not that kind of witch.
Dev: Witch! Oh. You mean with a b?
Darcy: That too. Maybe this has something to do with the last dead body I found.
Dev: You found one too? Who knew that hosting a book club in my dime store would get me into such hot water?
Darcy: I found my best friend’s fugitive ex dead on her sofa.
Dev: I found a dead poet in a box with a stake through his heart.
Dev: Do you think the FBI has taken us into custody?
Darcy: This better not be Nick’s way of getting me out of the way of his investigation.
Darcy: Boyfriend doesn’t seem appropriate. It’s more than that. It’s complicated.
Dev: You don’t know complicated. I’m seeing a US Marshall and the local doctor.
Darcy: Hussy. (laughs) No. You go girl. Are you eventually going to choose between them?
Darcy: Whoa. Whoa. Be very careful what you wish for.
Dev: Oooookay, then. Well if we ever get out of this room and back home, maybe I’ll figure it out.
Love this blog, very funny!
Thanks, Candace. Denise and I have way too much fun together.
Thanks for stopping by, Dru Ann!
That was fun! I would love to hear more from them. What a great idea for some of our favorite characters to meet.

I counted ninety-two "i"s in that text.
