They're your characters, love them or hate them. Personalize them. Let your reader know who they are and what they look like. Give them a charcteristic that is personal and defining. A scar, a way of wrinkling their nose when they smile. A habit that sets them aside from everyone else.
Does she flip her hair behind her ear or suck in her lower lip when she's nervous? Does he rake his fingers through his hair or rub the palm of his hand over his chin?

Look for my latest book, "Olivia," at the end of August at Snowy Creek Books.
