That's why Aunt Ruby from my first book just had to come back for appearances in the second book. In the second book, the heroine's best friend came alive and demanded her own book, which I'm working on now. In both cases, the secondary characters usually serve as mentors or advisors to the h and h. Or, they also deliver good verbal kicks in the butt when necessary. Kudos on Jenny Crusie speaking next year. She's phenomenal. My secondary characters often jump from the pages and demand story time.
