What Do They Look Like?

Question:

Could you describe what Lester and Alice’s dad look like? They are the only two I can’t picture in my head when I’m reading. I love your books and can’t wait until the next one comes out.

Phyllis replied:

I try not to do that for readers. If I gave a detailed description of the way my head pictures a character, perhaps only half-fleshed out in a book, it might be so completely different from yours or from other readers that it would be disconcerting.
