Reply To: The Grey Wolf questions for Louise Penny
If I had a chance to sit down with Louise Penny, I would ask: how do you approach having your characters age? Does your own awareness of the passage of time, experienced by yourself and your friends (and even your dogs) make you want to slow their aging (please, please, keep Fred alive for many more books) Do you want to show that they’re getting more frail, or do we get to pretend they are the same age in every book? Do authors dread having some of their favorite characters pass away if a series goes on for a long time?
I am not sure why I am stuck on this after reading The Grey Wolf but I was picking up some vibes.
