Someone who's part of a FB group that I'm in posted looking for help. She had a character who wouldn't tell her anything, and while she was a secondary character, she was an important one.
I read all the answers she received because I have a character who's super secretive, too. If you've read Wicked Obsession, you've met him. Griff.
From the beginning, Griff has stayed quiet. All I knew was that when his heroine approached him, he was a jerk. (I've seen the scene, but I haven't written it yet.)
One really good thing about Ryder's book was that it gave me an insight into why Griff is the way he is. But there's more to it than what happened in Tahoe because he was rude before what went down rocked his life.
Usually when a character goes silent like this and I know his friends, I question them and try to get insights. So far, though, Ryder and Finn have both evaded answering me beyond superficial, vague responses. :-(
What I know about Griff: His full name is Jonah Theodore Griffin, and he dislikes both his first and middle names. Call him Griff. If pressed, he will allow JT, but the only person who he allows to call him Jonah is Langley. My theory is that if Ryder hadn't found Langley first, Griff would have pursued her, but I don't know this for sure because no one is sharing anything.
I know he's from Boston and that his background is Irish. He's one of the team's medics, and for all his outward abrasiveness, he's a mother hen with his friends. This arose during a scene in Finn's story otherwise I probably wouldn't know this either.
And aside from what occurred in Tahoe, this is literally all I know about him. Not much, and since his story will come after Finn's, I need to start getting some details.
