Or, at least a celebrity! Great job, Voices in picking a Heroine for our Romantic-Suspense Blog-a-Book. I love the sparks of an everyday hero falling for a well-known (and beautiful, no doubt) woman. Can anyone say Notting Hill? Yay! There’s been some riveting discussion on both our Hero and Heroine over on the VOICES forum…one in particular really nailed the questions before us: >>>The word Celebrity usually comes with negative connotation, because of the lifestyle we often hear about in the news or magazines…. but what if she is a strong Christian who grew up in East Tennessee and moved to L.A., N.Y. or Vancouver (there is film industry there as well). She is still the same person, but our hero doesn’t want anything to do with a “High maintenance” […]

Finding the right Heroine is just a spark away…
So, we’re having a great discussion over on VOICES about our HERO….brainstorming WHO he is, and his greatest fears and dreams… Meanwhile, let’s talk about our Heroine.
