@Elaine True!

Re: Forged by Desire (1:39am September 3, 2014):

@Krysten Glad you enjoyed the quiz! It was kind of fun. And Garrett's one of my
favourite heroes, so you're in luck!

Re: Forged by Desire (1:37am September 3, 2014):

@Angela I did have a bit of a chuckle here, because every time I go out for
dinner lately, I see people on their phones, ignoring their partner! Sometimes
simple works (:

Re: Forged by Desire (1:36am September 3, 2014):

@Yuka Man, I'm hearing you on Paris! That would be amazing. I'm also pointing
my boyfriend this way, hint hint...

Re: Forged by Desire (1:35am September 3, 2014):

Hi Vicki! Great! Hope you enjoy. Please note though, that The Curious Case of
The Clockwork Menace is set three years before Forged and features the same
characters, so it's not a HEA romance - more of a mystery with hints of romance
blossoming for one of the characters. It was a lot of fun to write!

Re: My Lady Quicksilver (5:57pm October 6, 2013):

Thanks for all the comments guys, sounds like a few of us have had some
doozies and we all know lies tend to bite the hand that feeds them.
However, I find it really interesting to write about the consequences of a lie,
especially in My Lady Quicksilver (the perverted author part of me couldn't wait
until Rosalind was caught!). As a side note, exploring that growing sense of
trust between two enemies wear also fun - especially as Rosa grew more and
more tied up in what she was saying. A part of the reason she gets caught is
because she wants to be. She's tired of the hero not knowing the truth, and
even though she feels awful and knows (or thinks) he'll never trust her again,
there's a sense of relief that the truth is out. AKA me with the christmas shirt.
It's a running joke in my household that even when I do buy things on sale now,
BF is like, 'Sure, sure, it was on 'sale'." Thanks for commenting guys! And best
of luck to everyone!

@Tracie I love it! Hope Santa is good to you this year LOL!

Re: Heart Of Iron (4:40am May 3, 2013):

@Shirley Younger Especially when it comes to his heroine and her needs!

@Janet Thank you, but it's certainly not LOL

@Barbara Sounds like you have the perfect hero in mind, but every scrum my
hero needs a flaw or two to be believable.

@Fiona This is a hot button for me too. I kind of figure if a hero can bring
himself to be unfaithful then he's never good enough for the heroine!

@Sheila Three great characteristics!

Re: Heart Of Iron (4:37am May 3, 2013):

Hi @Amy. It definitely seems like family is a strong thread here today. Good
luck!

Re: Heart Of Iron (5:27pm May 2, 2013):

@Sara The best fun in writing is pushing your hero into a place where he has to
do the right thing (because that's who he is), but there are so many other things
conflicting against that.

@Xoun Those are the best heroes. I like a man who's self-made - not loaded,
perhaps not classically handsome (though he's always hot in some way) but true
to himself.

@Norma True! Someone who will put himself on the line for those he loves - or
even someone he's just met. That makes a true hero!

Re: Heart Of Iron (5:24pm May 2, 2013):

@ Beth Someone who just can't wait for that one special lady to come along.

@Nancy Funny you should mention 'on the sly'. Will knows Lena is in trouble
and refuses his help, so he manoeuvres her into a position where she has to
deal with him.

@Kent Thank you!

@Aimee I think we have a lot of people who admire a man who looks after his
family. Definitely a hero trait!

@Ann The one and only. So true.

@Karin I like the nerd in shining armour too. Can't wait for the latest Superman,
i must admit, not that this version looks like a real 'nerd'.

Re: Heart Of Iron (5:18pm May 2, 2013):

@Denise How he looks after his family is a definite plus for a hero!

@Betty I'll be honest, i have a special place for an alpha too.

@Pam Good call. Every hero needs a flaw or two.

@Julie You might like Blade from Kiss of Steel then - he's a charmer!

Re: Heart Of Iron (5:16pm May 2, 2013):

@Becky Lung The one thing I toyed with in Heart of Iron, is that if my hero can't
protect his heroine, then he's going to teach her to protect herself. After all, its
Victorian times and she can't be a ninja, but she can certainly learn to wield a
pistol!

@Kathleen Laughter is definitely one of the most attractive traits in a hero!
Great comment.

@ Marjorie Oh, he's definitely not the 'boss' of the heroine (: I just meant that
this is his story - no taking over from side characters or other potential
handsome heroes.

Re: Heart Of Iron (5:12pm May 2, 2013):

@ Darci Paice-Bailey I love Damon too! It's that whole bad-boy, anti-hero with a
heart of gold thing.

@Debbi Shaw Absolutely. A hero who doesn't help others is no hero in my eyes!

@Lori Shaw I love a man who is strong enough in his convictions to do the right
thing always!
