First off, I love them both...but that is probably obvious. It was important to me that Justine is good without being TOO good. She thinks of everyone before herself, but there are times when she wants to get a little wild.
Jack was a bit harder to write because he had to be BAD without making the reader hate him. And we had to see it on the page to believe it. So that required some thinking of creative ways to show it to you without . . .well, making him *too* evil.
He is based on a real criminal in New York City history named Paul Kelly. Kelly was a Gilded Age gangster who dressed like a Fifth Avenue dandy, spoke multiple languages, and many said he did actually condense the various NYC gangs into one criminal enterprise (under his command, naturally).
I hope you like the way these two come together. And remember, be careful what you wish for!...more
