Solomon Price Why did your character join the RAC? He joined the military for money for his family, and when they started to get their feet under him, he wanted to do something a little more noble, that did maybe more good than being ordered around. The RAC appealed to him a lot.
What might they be doing now if they hadn't joined? I think he would've kept going with the military. Once he got started, an ordinary life would've been difficult to go back to.
When they picture their future, what do they see? He'd like to see himself happily married, but still in the RAC for awhile, until he feels like it's time to walk away. Maybe he'd like to buy himself a bookshop when he retires. ;) NO ONE COULD GET OUT OF BOOK CLUB THEN.
