Stacy Eaton replied to john m rakes's discussion 'How the story changes'"I love when my characters control the story and take it someplace I had no idea it was going.

My third book

I am finding by writing this book there is a character that keeps moving into the lead. I know he will be gone in the beginning about 8 chapters and others will take his place.
What I want to know have you changed your main characters as the story begans to grow.

Chuck Keyes (The Chuck!) said… John, top of the milky way to you, and welcome to authors.com …from The Chuck-Master of Science Fiction Fantasy, romance, and mind curdling horror…
I write sci-fi fantasy novels filled with adventure, mystery, romance, drama, horror, and plenty of comedy… It's sci-fi for every adult human to enjoy. I'm also a well-known published poet. When you have a few free moments to spare, please check out my Authors page and a few of my videos and blogs. Many of my blogs consist of free to read enjoyable sci-fi stories that I reedited and united these twenty-two stories within an eBook titled: 'Epic Marvels'. One of my recent sci-fi novels is titled: 'They!' …which is somewhat related to the 1954 sci-fi classic movie, 'Them!'. I've just completed my next sci-fi mystery, titled: 'The Mysteries of Fuller Park'. A fun fiction story based on the eerie satanic urban legends of Fuller Park, in Athens, Texas. My next novel is titled: 'It's Not a Lovable Pet Story!' It’s a Sci-fi fantasy horror for delighting my many reading fans. Also, check out my famed 'Apollo Trilogy Novels'™… Please let me know if you'd like to become friends.
The Chuck!
