This usually involves some kind of crisis or traumatic event. In Thinner Than Water the main characters face a potentially disastrous flood situation which rapidly escalates into a life or death struggle. I try to make dialogue and interaction between them interesting and unpredictable, with the differing personalities displaying their strengths, weaknesses, skills and flaws.
My main characters of Thinner Than Water are.
Emma Riley – Self- centred, greedy and manipulative. Has a secret agenda and will do whatever it takes to achieve her goals.
Craig Kerren – Hard working, loyal and dependable. Would rather use tact and diplomacy, than straight out confrontation. However there is a limit to his patience.
Georgie Kerren (Craig’s wife) – Athletic, sporty and a straight shooter who says what she thinks. Doesn’t suffer fools easily and can be quick tempered if provoked.
After a terrifying journey our travellers find a rural community desperately trying to save their town from ever-rising flood waters. It is here where Emma’s schemes are revealed.
