Was curious what stories that you've written have the female characters that you're most pleased with.
Looking forward to seeing some interesting responses!
I like how the character of Valerie turned out in Let Her Eat Cake.
I also like the character of D'arcy in Kingdom Come.
And Lilly Black in No Sympathy for Lilly Black.
I have a reoccurring character named Melanie that I enjoy writing as well.
Unfortunatly my story Trailer Trash Trixie has to be hidden (for now) but the character of Sarah Mae was probably the most fun to write.
I liked writing Rachel from Trading Favors.
Aside from her, it would be Alex in Open. She wasn't even the point of view character but she was very vivid to me.
Of all time, though? I wrote this very sexually dominant woman named Kyra, who isn't safe for Lush. But she was a whole lot of fun.
Stacey in "Stacey's Choice" is the heroine of the first story I wrote on my own. I had previously written only poetry and collaborated on stories. The story takes place in my city. She shares my love of both the Mediterranean countries and art, and a weakness for arty men. To be honest, I think there is a piece of me in every almost every female character I have written, but perhaps because Stacey was my first, she remains dear to me.
Mine is Roxy Roman from 'She belonged to me', but I have it hidden right now. It needs some work, but she's a great character
I have three famous stories, 2 recommended reads and have come in the top ten in two competitions~ Come in and make yourself at home.
My favorite female character is Diana. She's the protagonist of my short series The Education Of Diana.
I guess my favorite female from my own stories is April (stories: April's Secret, The Pastor's Secret, New Friends) given that I've written about her three times and have vague ideas for a fourth. I just like how she's shaped up as a woman who owns and doesn't deny or run from her past while trying to build a new present with her boyfriend Ross.
I've always wanted to do more with Dee from Snow Plowed, too, but have been a bit wishy-washy on where to take her after the events of that story and its sequel, Never Again.
Bunnie. But, then again, she was real. So...

Caprice in Today My Name is Caprice. She has the best sense of humor and playfulness of any of my female characters. And she is quite fond of Tootsie Roll Pops!
I am also quite fond of the nameless woman in Serious Moonlight. She has no name, and no description, but despite that is probably the most fully formed female character I've ever created.
I think my favorite female character is Amanda Cartwright, the principal character in Youth Revisited. She is a single mom, PhD and a strong woman. In her early 50's she discovers that the young man dating her daughter was a student of hers and has always wanted her. She was very real to me.
I'm also quite fond of Miss Cynthia, a secondary character in Miss Cynthia's Lingerie Shop. She was so popular with the readers of that story that I wrote a second one with her as a primary character.
Thanks, all! I look forward to reading a lot of these stories when I get a chance.
My favorite of mine is Kristina, from my Polaroid of Kristina series.
My favourite is Roxy from West Coast Games. She's a free spirit, an unapologetic man-magnet and her motivations are unscrupulous in the best way possible. Many readers hated her, but I love the darker evolution of her character. There's some inner conflict there that gives her some dimension, complexity and heart.
The runner-up for fave female character would be Cady Lane from my eBook, The Bitches in the Basement. She's a sexpot and a bad girl and a little more blatant and extreme than Roxy. She makes blackmail look like fun.
Mine has to be Zofie, the Princess from Blonde Ambition. She's sexy, beautiful, charismatic and also intelligent and strong-willed. She can also be sensitive and is loyal to her servants. I so loved writing her

Check out Mazikeen on Lucifer. She's scary, evil, sexy and smart in the perfect mixture. Love that show.
Elizabeth from Elizabeth's story
Aunt Barb in "My Aunt Barb". She's a mentor who helps the main character Katherine break out of her timid lifestyle.
