#PennedPossibilities 859, Do you have a preference for the age of your characters, or do you include characters of all ages in your work? Explain why.

I tend to include a broad range of adult characters in my longer works. Short stories I generally don't specify age other than 'adult', so readers can interpret how they like.

Children are rare in my stories. I can only think of two, one in Planting Life who is a major side character, one in A Smear of Blood who shows up for a single scene and isn't seen again.
