One hint I’ll give, to save you some DQs: the “genre” of the novel(s) I’m known for is NOT neatly defined. Don’t waste precious DQs asking “are you a sci–fi character” or “are you a romance character” or…
Protagonist, or (at least) primary character in the book(s) I appeared in
Not in crime/mystery genre
Died at the end of a novel, so would not be alive today (almost certainly wouldn’t be alive anyway)
Never appeared in a military-related book
No ties to sci-fi, fantasy or any other specialized genre. The book(s) I appear in would simply be placedin the “Literature” section at Barnes and Noble.
