Oddly, some book characters just take on a life of their own. Take Pike, for example: one minute he's in the age of the New Dawn, having a helluva time battling the forces of evil, trying to win the heart of a fair maiden, and save the world, the next he's ripped out of his comfort zone, dragged all the way back to the 21st century, and interviewed on a friendly website!
I'll post the link on 8 March, once it's on the site, but in the meantime, why not familiarise yourself with Aside From Writing?
