Dexter

Hello and welcome to the start of a fun filled, thrilling novel featuring our main character, Dexter Owen. Dexter is in his mid 30's, around 5' 10", dark hair, and very intelligent. Dexter's parents died when he was a child and his Aunt Judy raised him up with his cousin Christopher. Christopher is in his late 20's. Dexter's parents were very wealthy and as he was the only child, he inherited everything they had. As such, Dexter is independently wealthy, although he is not materialistic by any means. He has a small house, filled with books that is often in disarray. Natalie Houser was a close friend of Dexter's parents before they passed. She lives down the street from Dexter and is often at his house chiding him for the mess he leaves. Although Dexter and Mrs. Houser both know the chiding is just lighthearted and the two are very close. She is another mother figure for Dexter. She often picks up after him and cooks for him. Dexter is not very much a people person. He does go out with his cousin, Christopher often but not to really socialize with other people. Mrs. Houser swears Dexter will be old and lonely if he doesn't start socializing to find a potential wife. Dexter scoffs at the idea and insists he's happy with his life as it is. Dexter, when not with Christopher is a hermit. He doesn't talk to anyone in the neighborhood unless he has to except for Mrs. Houser. He prefers to be in his house, reading and listening to classical music. Sometimes he does listen to different genres but mostly classical. One of Dexter's traits he has had his entire life is the ability to often figure out mysteries rather quickly. Whether it was a missing piece of equipment in high school, or something amiss in the neighborhood, Dexter usually figures it out first. Having been well read on mysteries and detective novels, some of his talent comes from there. However, Dexter has a lot of natural intelligence which sets him apart from a lot of people.
