Author Interview: Michael Colon

Are there therapeutic benefits to modeling a character after someone you know? Yes. It can be a way to process emotions and experiences connected to that person, while also transforming them into something creative and meaningful. Sometimes the character ends up very different, but the seed of inspiration helps the story feel real.
