Novelists can imagine ourselves into whatever characters we choose! Ones who’ve already published, like Valeska Réon, from Germany (given that I’m the soon-to-be self-published author of the upcoming “Flamenco & the Sitting Cat”) inspire to me to no end! I found this photo of her while I was searching for something else (isn’t this always the case?) — and love it so much that I’m sharing it in the hopes that it’ll inspire you too!…

I don’t understand German, but I love how boldly she assumes identities on her video channel.

In addition to a host of careers she’s had and currently pursues, she loves dogs — she often features them on her Instagram! See what Valeska’s up to later here.

How do you re-imagine yourself?…
[…] new too! She’s guested at Happiness Between Tails here and I first expressed my admiration of her here. An author since 1997, she’s published fifteen books, from crime and thriller novels to health […]

I always wanted to be a blues musician. That’s why I composed a blues myself and played everything myself exept the drums. And finally, I dared to put that on youtube. Ok girls..going to dance? 🙂 :

I think you’ve found the perfect character to visualize. Forgive me if I’m wrong, but I’m assuming the story will be about a spy or an agent. Congratulations on your upcoming book!

The photos aren’t of me – I was just noting that all of us writers, you included, can be anyone we want to be at least in our imaginations, Mark 🙂
