We have started creating dossiers for the characters in the Dime Store Novel series. Each week we’ll be posting one or more new dossiers to give you a birds-eye view of the characters. Of course, the dossiers will only tell part of the story. You’ll need to read the books for the rest. Occasionally we’ll include facts in the dossier that have not yet been used in a book. Keep your eyes open for Easter Eggs too. We thought it was appropriate to begin with our first Dime Store Novel character, Swampy.
