Cherry Picking - Update 2 - Meet some of the Characters

I feel very happy with the quality and depth of characters that have emerged in my book Cherry Picking. There is a lot of cross over between some of them and the relationships and tensions that now exist between them all is really interesting and gives me a lot of scope to write about.

And if the book is indeed to become a film one day as I hope and expect it too, then that would leave some really juicy parts for any actor or actress to take on.

The main characters are Nigel Gamble, Brendan Charles, Robert Sandle, Tommy Lawrence and Jessica Ponter.

I feel like I've really got to know these 5 'people' over the last few years. There's a lot too each character and I hope that this will come out through the pages of Cherry Picking.

Nigel & Robert are the characters that change the most and know the most throughout the book - this is the key 'confrontation' that a lot of the book is based around and it pulls in all these others in one way of the other.

Nigel is hugely wealthy and Brendan works for him having been recruited twenty years ago and been Nigel's 'public' face ever since.

Tommy works within one of Brendan's companies having been told top recruit him by Nigel. Though there's a bit of an age gap between him and Jessica, they had a close relationship which changes throughout the book. Jessica is about ten years younger than Tommy but she loves him deeply. A beautiful and talented young woman in her own right, she too was pulled into the Nigel Gamble empire by Brendan and now also works for him.

Each of the five main characters have an angle and reason to be weary of the other characters and this I hope only builds and adds to the intrigue.
