I love stories. Always have. I grew up reading fairy tales and anything else I could get my hands on. Characters are important to me. When I'm reading a book, I have to like the character, be invested in them, care what happens to them. Otherwise I'm just not interested. It doesn't matter to me if I'm following a villain or a hero or an anti-hero or just somebody or nobody. As long as I like them as a character, as a person, I'm hooked. I have to know what happens to them next. Have to know how their story ends.

My goal has always been to capture that same thing with my own characters. There are events going on around them or happening to them, but ultimately the most important thing is the character, their personality, their likes and dislikes, their ability to keep moving forward and to take the readers with them.
Psychological thrillers are wonderful to write because there's so much possibility for character growth. If you find out your wife is a serial killer, that's going to affect you. But how? If you find out someone is hunting you down to kill you because of something your great-great-great grandfather did a hundred plus years ago, that's going to change how you view life. If it doesn't, you're not a very interesting character.
