Lena is an author with a problem. Her unfinished characters have come to life-and they are not happy. What begins as a strange green line on her laptop screen turns into a portal between worlds. Griffin, Kendra, Zane, and Ethan step out of her manuscripts with opinions, complaints, and rewrite requests. They remember everything she wrote about them. They also remember what she didn't finish.
Then something else enters the system. A rogue presence-an assassin from one of her stories-begins rewriting scenes, corrupting files, and kidnapping characters from inside her own hard drive. Pages change without her typing. Dialogue appears that isn't hers. Entire lives hang in the balance. With help from a quiet computer genius and the very characters she created, Lena must fight to regain control of her stories before they are erased-or worse, permanently rewritten.
Out of Character is a fast-paced, genre-bending novel about creativity, unfinished work, grief, control, and the dangerous power of storytelling. When the line between author and creation dissolves, one question remains: Who really holds the pen?
