Right now, definitely The Hungry Ground's protagonist, Kalinda. At first I didn't really know how I would do with her. I sort of decided to try to write her as the POV character on a whim because I haven't done a female POV character for a long time.
But she's not the usual type of character I write from the perspective of. She's not really outwardly snarky, and is a lot more thoughtful and serious in general. But when I actually started writing her, it was a lot easier than I thought it would be. She's got a much more dry sense of humor that's a lot of fun to write, and when it comes down to it, she's probably ten times more of an alpha, protective type than the frat boy-ish male protagonist. She was unexpectedly my type of character after all, and I probably wouldn't have figured that out if I hadn't decided to try her as the protagonist.
All right, and for you, I would like to know about this rumored YA novel of yours. What's the setting?
