Heroes in question

As I ponder my next storyline for my new contemporary erotic, I debate my hero with serious thought.

Every hero I've ever created has coal-black hair, mystifying eyes, tall, and a badass. Well, actually, not all because the hero, Jake Castle, of my paranormal, Castle's Fortress, just wouldn't turn badass no matter I tried to force him. He's a sweet guy...and that's okay. However, his looks fit the same role. Man, I will admit, I love a man that fits that physical description.

But this raises questions. Why do we like badass heroes? Even in real life, women (not all, but many) are drawn to a man who is dangerously wicked. Is it because a man who grabs life by the teeth is intriguing? Yeah, it is intriguing when a man, any man, grabs anything by the teeth....:)

And, to top this little inquiry off, my heroes have trouble communicating. Every single one of them. Maybe it's not my story's I need to examine closer, but my own personal life. Because as writers, our life influences every character we create, at least that's my point of view.

Okay, as I move to the drawing board, I'm going to try to create a different hero. Wish me luck !!!!!

Spring is at my door

The sun is shining and the temperature is close to 60.

Sure this is no big deal for those of you who live in warm climates, but here in Ohio, Springtime is as rich as a pot of gold.

The Spring brings new flowers, new dreams, new loves. It's like the path to a new beginning. It is definitely a new start for me as I embark upon a new path in my personal and professional life.

After selling my third novel, I am anxious to get my release dates. I am so happy with my cover for Double Dare, which will release from Lyrical Press here soon.

I wish everyone a new dream for Spring.
