Easy. Janus.

But I am also deeply interested in learning more about Capt. Joe Montgomery and Michael Perelli, especially in seeing Mike work a crime scene.

You'll be happy to know that Michael has a story coming up where he gets to show his skills. Bryan Watson, aka MisterDubbs on Twitter, is doing a series of interconnected short stories that will run as bonus episodes; the first of these, "Make Believe," focuses on Artax, but the second, "Planifolia," will feature Michael and Brian as its principal protagonists.

As for favorite characters, I can't really choose -- they're like my children, and I love them all for different reasons. Some characters surprise me with how strongly I connect with them, though; they start out as secondary characters and then grow to become much more interesting, much more rounded individuals as I write them. Sasha and Miriam were both like that; neither of them was in my original story idea, but each one took on life very quickly once I determined that I needed them. Another character like that is the half-Elf Seralina Grayhaven, whom you will meet in the latter third of MAKING THE CUT. She grew from a bit of set dressing into a complex character with her own back-story and the potential to have a huge impact on future events in the overall story arc. I'm looking forward to seeing what she does after MAKING THE CUT...

I love Eva/Evan. yup.
