What The Characters In The Woman Who Tried To Be Normal Look Like In My Head

Helen – H.G. Wells of Warehouse 13. I think the whole character was written as homage to H.G. Wells of Warehouse 13. Obviously, I am a secret fan (of the lovely Jaime Murray too, of course).

Ethel – A real woman I know of but I’m not saying who this time because I made her way worse than she actually is and I don’t want to get sued. You can pretend she’s an older and more messed up version of Myka of Warehouse 13 if you want. And treat the whole book like Bering & Wells fanfic, which it might very well actually be, although I didn’t consciously realise so when writing, only after, when reading.

Lilly & Wanda – They’re the leads in Those Strange Women #4 so I’ll tell you when that comes out.

The Husbands – Yes, unfortunately, there are husbands in this book, since it is 1975 and it is about a woman trying to be ‘normal’. You can think James Stewart or Gary Cooper or whichever traditional American man you can envision…
