Making the hero

July 5th, 2008

If you haven’t already guessed, I’m a very visual person. I tend to keep file folders of stock images and the like, that resemble or remind me of characters. I often have these open on the laptop next to where I’m working and I affectionately refer to this old computer as the "picture bitch". There are times though that I have a character in mind and I really, really, really want a representation that is much closer to my mental image than what I’m finding. In these cases, I find myself taking time out to "make the hero". I take the image and tweak it according to my character.

Tell me, is he extra hunky after the tweaks or is it just me?

 

You can see the tweaks are minor but as far as my character, they certainly fit him more. He has the tattooed bands on arms, he had hair a bit longer and wilder. He has blue eyes verses brown.

Alright, enough playing for me. I’m off to write this book.

Paranormal Thriller

When the Siren calls, the men follow. Led by the song of the Enchantress men will do almost anything, including kill the one they love.

When Caleb is called away to track the Enchantress, Gwen is left in the hands of her new best friends, Caradoc and James. Sick, and alone, Gwen finds herself plagued by bizarre dreams involving Pallo and robed monks. The dreams take on a sexual nature, and when Gwen is left mating with Pallo’s vampire side, she finds out things are not always as they appear.

WICKED LUCIDITY
Paranormal Romance

When Karri-Lynn O’Higgins is offered a small slice of normalcy, she goes for it. She wasn’t looking for a relationship and she sure as hell wasn’t looking to fall in love.

Something about Riston Wallace calls to her on a level Karri can’t deny. He’s everything she wants in a man expect for one thing–he’s a nice guy. What happened to her wish list? Tall, dark and deadly? He got the tall and dark part right.

She soon learns that there’s more to Riston than meets the eye. Much more. In a world where sanity is as relative as what defines evil, Karri finds herself being forced to come to terms with her past and her future.
