Meet My Characters: Josh, Isabella and Lily
I thought it was about time I introduce another of my fictional couples. Actually, this time it's a trio of characters, because the third character is too important for me to leave her out.
Meet Josh.
Josh is a widowed father struggling to keep up with his growing daughter since he lost his wife. Quiet, serious and rather stern, Josh finds it easier to shut people out of the protective little world he has created for his daughter, rather than take chances that the life he has made for himself and his daughter might be disrupted. An architect by trade and Christian by choice, Josh has to face facts that having a broken arm, a rambunctious daughter and trying to take care of everything by himself isn't exactly possible at the beginning of this story, which brings me to my second character....
Meet Isabella.
Pretty, rich and heartbroken, Isabella has had her heart broken in love, though not quite like Josh has. Her dream of becoming a teacher has never quite came true, though her wealthy aunt and uncle would gladly help her if she would only ask. Being raised as a only child by her aunt and uncle after her parents death, Isabella isn't quite sure how other families live, and has been rather secluded by her family due to the heartbreak she has endured. And offer to become a nanny changes her life for the better, though, and that brings me to my third character....
Meet Lily.
She's 5 years old, never still, and loves glitter with a passion. Like her father's life, this story pretty much revolves around this blonde haired, bouncy, frilly little girl. She was my comic relief, my bittersweet moments, and my favorite character in this book, I'll be honest. I used a few of my siblings' antics to inspire her, and it shows. I may or may not have used a few of my own qualities (yes, the love of glitter) when writing Lily.
Josh and Isabella's story was one of my favorite to write. I actually laughed so hard at one part, I had to stop writing for fifteen minutes till I could clear the tears out of my eyes and see the keyboard. And there were sad tears, too, especially when Lily talks about her mother. Maybe the next Meet My Characters will be Isabella's aunt and uncle, Grace and Harry, or Josh's sister Ashley and her large family, because they played an important part in this story, too.
I hope you enjoyed this little preview into one of my books and meeting Josh, Isabella and Lily!
