Perry Mason Fans: For those Perry Mason fans who have enjoyed ESG's books you will recall a very handy feature he used to keep track of his many characters-- the cast of characters located at the front of the book. I've decided since I love creating characters that I should have used this feature at the beginning of my stories. Hind sight is always twenty twenty. Therefore, I've decided to place the characters here and will make reference to the profile list in the event a character refresher might be necessary. List of characters Valentina Bernini-photographer, painter, National Geographic photograher. Gloria Steiner-secretary to Justice Mason Leslie Marks-Mason's law clerk and biggest fan Justice C. C. Caldwell-She has Mason's back and hopes to someday have his heart D.C. "Sparky" Caldwell-belated prosecutor and husband to C.C. Amy Hart-Justice Caldwell's law clerk Chief Justice Erskine Burrows-Mason's nemisis on the court Peggy Lisbon Burrows-business woman and wife to the Chief Justice Janice Thiery-the Chief Justice's law clerk and paramour Justice Jameson Clark-Burrow's wing man on the court Harrison Sandover III- the Justice Clark's law clerk and henchman. Justice Curtis Sheridan-fellow member of the court and possessor of the original National Geographic magazine that started it all. Andy-custodian in the courthouse Nelsa Keetan-Senior Clerk Administrator and Gloria Steiner's friend Bernie Keetan-Nelsa's ex-husband and traveling companion Katherine Graham-former secretary in "Bull" Johnson's law office and Della Street's predecessor Tomas Bardem-writer and Valentina's collaborator at the National Geographic Mae or "May"-the waitress at "Eats" with the mysterious past--a victim on the run or a "femme fatale". Frank-cook and owner of "Eats". I'm hoping this will help. Please let me know if you would like characters added. And I'm sorry for the delay on Quid pro quo. Real life can step in and make writing virtually impossible. Thanks for your support and patience. My special thanks to all who have taken the time to read my stories. I also want to thank those of you who so kindly wrote reviews. Thank you all for your encouragement! | |||||||
