Into the Fire

I don't know how other authors feel about the significance of types of vehicles, makes and models, but I come from the generation of muscle cars and "family" cars. Vehicles driven by our characters say something about them – whether or not what they drive is significant to who they are. 

Take Stone in my most recent novel Then . . . you. Former military who endured a devastating injury, recovered, became a recluse. His everyday car was an old but pristine and painted with grey primer Toyota Land Cruiser, but in his garage was his 2004 Cobra Mustang, shiny red with all the bells and whistles. Obviously, vehicles said something about who he was.

In Destination, Thomas drove a classic old Ford Bronco. 

Dale Rivers from . . . in a love song drives an old Jeep Wrangler with 300K+ miles on it.

In the current WIP the hero owns three vehicles, an '80 Ford F150 4X4, a Subaru Forester, and a 2000 Ford Lightning with a canopy. 

Vehicles are that extra "thing" to help define a character.

Just my Monday Musings . . . 

Father, thank you is never enough for all you've given me, done for me, and your protection over me. Thank you for characters and stories, the love of writing. Please help me to glorify you in it all. In the Name of Jesus, Amen.
