Becky asked Tammara Webber:

While writing, do you ever imagine your characters in a setting very different to their "usual" for character development's sake? To see just how they would react in a certain situation? Or do they just develop as you go? (If you were to send Lucas on a time-&-worlds-travel-trip to create a mash up between Easy and a work of classic literature... what would be your first pick?)

Tammara Webber This is not something I'd do because of time restraints. I produce a new book quite slowly as is. I also believe the setting/story develops the character. I'm a product of what's happened to me in my life, not what didn't happen, you know? It's an interesting idea to speculate on how different I might be if things had been radically different (as an adopted kid, trust me, I've speculated!), but I'm not sure how that would relate to my current outlook/ character/ life choices. I have no idea what Lucas's ideal classic lit mash-up would be. What are your thoughts on that?
