Adding a Character

I’m cooking a character in my mind. That’s what the process is like for me. He’s male, nameless so far, but suddenly- crucial to the plot line in Red Rock Redemption. He knows things my main characters don’t. No one will like him. He knows things that will result in people dying but justifies it in his mind. He makes a lot of money, but so do the people working above him. My dilemma has become his association with a beloved character. I feel my beloved General Stone is hiding information, too. It only makes sense now that I see the final chapters of the first book in this series unfolding. What exactly does Stone know and how does he live with it? His understanding of Red Rock’ s mission has always been clear. Humans need another planet to hold the volume of our species and Mars, well- it just makes sense. The people getting cancer treatments have been away from earth for over a year. The data points to radiation poisoning. In walks unknown man. General Stone…open your eyes, sir.
