I love creating characters. Some could be classified as colorful, in the lively, interesting or exciting sense of the word, but that's not what I'm talking about today.
The colorful characters on my mind are those who love color--in some cases a particular color.
Men in the Victorian Era, the period my stories take place, had few
color choices. They wore a lot of black and white, which can get pretty
boring.
Women, on the other, enjoyed the expanding array of fabrics and colors available, enabling me to have fun clothing them.
Tess, the heroine of my first Love Inspired Historical, Family of Her Dreams, coming June 2015, loves blue. It's pretty much the only color she wears. I have a hunch that's the color she'll be wearing on the cover that's currently in the development stage.
Blue used to be my favorite color, too, but as you can see from this picture of my closet, purple has captivated me. I wear all shades, from a deep violet to a light lavender and from a bold fuchsia to a muted mauve. I throw in black as my base color.
How about you? Do you wear a variety of colors, or are you partial to a certain one?
