Paula, I tried to log in on Jenny's site but was ridiculed and reviled by the spambot...
ReplyDeleteWanted to say that my heroes usually end up being a combo, a kind of alphabeta soup, even in the m/m stuff. I, like most modern women, am a little turned off by a guy who sees himself as Alley Oop; and yet I get impatient with a guy who's just TOO yielding.
I know I must have left a comment on another site--how I'm looking forward to the new volcanic eruption of your latest novel. It sounds almost as good as Remembrance of Violets, and I look forward to reading it soon.
Happy writing! Slán, Erin
Thanks, Erin - so glad you agree about 'alphabeta soup'!
ReplyDeleteAnd I do hope you'll enjoy the 'volcano story'!
I've forwarded your comment to Jenny, so that she can add it to the comments at the BTS site.
I like the combo character too.

Yes, intriguing. My one suggestion: take out the word "familiar" in the second sentence. Don't give the reader that yet. Let her wait just a bit longer and figure it out for herself. It becomes apparent soon enough and makes the reading just that bit more interesting. :)
