Many of you lovely readers have reached out and told me how much you like Levi, one of the characters in The Book of Eve series. This feedback makes me feel all gooey inside because I happen to have a soft spot for him as well, especially considering the evolution of his character.
In the initial drafts of Eve’s Return, Jordan kills Levi.
In my mind, the reason why was simple. He was a very likeable ‘bad boy’, but was clearly working for the wrong team.
My beta readers were not happy about how I ended his story and just couldn’t get over the fact that he didn’t live to see another book. For many, he was in fact, their favourite character.
I’m the type of writer who takes feedback very seriously, especially if I get the same comment from several people. When that happens, I have to work the story over in my mind to see if trying something different would work. More importantly, would the change make the story better?
I knew that I was working with a character who had a significant history and backstory. That in itself makes him a complex character with a very specific motivation.

It was then that I wondered what would have happened if the serpent who tempted Eve had been a man instead?
At first, I was really hesitant to give Levi a little more romance in his story line. I knew where I wanted the series to go. If I kept hime around, I would end up with a love triangle. Now, I’m not against love triangles, however, I wanted to make sure that it was the best move for the story.
I’m so glad that I decided to keep him around. I couldn’t imagine the story without him, and the changes I made to his character have also made writing his scenes in No Escape the easiest (and best) part of my writing day. I can hear him in my head and see exactly how he would react in a situation and with other characters.
It’s a beautiful thing.
