Wendy, crazily enough, I did not plan out each character's story before I started. I'm not sure how other authors handle such things, but I was an unpublished writer with a lot to learn.

And then the idea for the cousins came about. I've approached each book separately. Somehow it has worked out. Great question, btw.
