A Few Facts about a Few Characters

(from my novel-in-progress)


Madison Claire McCrae (Maddie) is 27 years old. She lives in a small renovated Cape Cod on the beach in North Beach, Maryland. She  inherited the house from her parents, who were killed in a car accident a year ago.


Maddie went to Towson State University, where she earned a Bachelor of Arts in English and a Master of Fine Arts in Creative Writing. She currently works as a freelance editor and classical music reviewer. She's an excellent flute player and has the distinction of having  been the only first-chair player in the Towson University Symphony Orchestra who wasn't a music major.  She loves photography, yoga, and swimming; she's also passionately in love with the Romantic-era symphonists (with Schumann and Dvorak topping the list).


She's  5 foot 7 and of average build, with shoulder-length auburn hair. She's had both male and female relationships in the past, but is currently single. Her sister Agatha Leigh (currently missing) is three years younger than Maddie. Aggie, as her friends and family call her, followed Maddie to Towson, where she earned a B.A. in Art and Design. She was working on her Master's thesis in Art History when she was abducted from the house she shared with three other graduate students.
