My second guest post on the Dark Lord Journal’s blog is up now! This post explores more on writing villains as flesh and blood characters with unique motivations and choices. I hope you’ll visit and join the discussion…you may even win one of the ebook ARCs of my novel, Azimuth, before its release on Sept 25, 2018!
I don’t want to comment over on Dark Lord since I already have an ARC I just started, but I appreciate so many of your points – as soon as I saw the title, I thought of how Voldemort and Harry are similar in so many ways, and a repeated theme is making choices on how to handle those situations.

Thank you for reading another post! 🙂
As I struggled with writing villains, the subject is near and dear to me! I find myself studying them in books and movies even more than the heroes. It’s not just villains but anti-heroes too. They were once just obstacles for my fave characters. Now though, villains often steal the show for me!
And I hope you enjoy Azimuth!
