Dynamic Characters

Dynamic Characters: How to Create Personalities That Keep Readers Captivated by Nancy Kress

A how-to-write book with the focus described above.  Starts with the externals of name, location, occupation and more -- I note that it's chiefly about more or less contemporary settings -- then the internals of motivations, attitudes, and more, and finally how this all interacts with plot.  Character is plot, after all.  Also secondary characters, character change, and more.
