When a story gets as long as the Jack Pierce Chronicles, the number of people naturally grows. As I write the next chapter, I can keep the growing number of characters or let some of them slide into the background to keep from overwhelming my readers. There are some obviously central characters but there are some on the periphery as well. If there are some that you think, "Please don't let this person fade out of the story," let me know, please. It's not a matter of whether certain characters are more or less important. It's simply a matter of keeping it a bit more streamlined so that it's readable. I strive to make it easy to follow. If you have input, fire it my way.
Thanks
