194: Analysis of character regression in contemporary romance novel (Scarlett in Book 8 of the Polyamorous Passions series)

from Author Diary Entries · host Sagan Morrow

Is it realistic for a character to regress in a novel? Why might a character regress, and is it relatable for them to do that? In this episode of the Author Diary Entries podcast, your host and chick lit indie author Sagan Morrow analyzes character regression in contemporary romance novel Kiss Me — Book 8 in the Polyamorous Passions series.
