If you read IRON, you may remember meeting Calvin and Isadora Seyden, parents of Princess Chamonix (Shaw-maw-nee). What you did not realize, and what I did not realize at the time, was that Calvin and Isadora would require their own story.
So their own story they received.
If there’s ever a chance of giving a secondary character their own story, don’t give them names you usually wouldn’t give main characters. I can’t believe I have a main character named Calvin.
Regardless of his name, Calvin was fun to write. It was interesting to see where he “began” compared to how he was during IRON. While Calvin may have gained some maturity and facial hair by IRON‘s time, one thing he still retained was his love for sugar. I’m surprised he hasn’t gotten a cavity yet.
“That reaction is totally uncalled for. When have I ever had a bad idea?”
“Would you prefer the list verbally or in writing?”

If someone left Redwyn alone for half a day, the toddler would bring down the palace. How, Calvin did not know, but it would happen. Redwyn possessed a capacity for mischief and trouble that far exceeded her parents’.
