Oooh, thanks Romy! Yeah, I was bored last weekend and fiddled with the template and the colours. Everyone else’s looked so cool I thought I’d better do something about mine. And I like purple – you got that right? 🙂

Completely unrelated, but have you redesigned your blog?

I'm not sure if it's just me, or the borrowed laptop I'm using, but your blog is looking very stylish!

Thanks Lacey. Yep, she certainly shocked the pants off him – nearly literally! 😉

Ahh but who doesn’t like a female who’s strong enough to shock the hell out of an alpha male. I like Kate already 🙂

Jo, sorry, but when I think of heroes with Kiwi accents I kind of get put off! Weird huh? I have a bit of a cultural cringe when it comes to our accent. When I was working in a library in London, a French woman came up to the desk with a question and told me I had the most beautiful accent! I just about fell over. :-)

Anyway, reminds you of the time when...? You can't say that and just trail off! ;-)

Oh how lovely. An alpha male with a Kiwi accent. It reminds me of a time when ... oh no, I'll stop before I say too much.

(He wasn't called Alex, though!!)

Felicity, I think you're right, I am going to go with it. Kate's got reason, I just didn't think she'd be so up front about it. Just when you think you know someone... :-)

Lucy - Alex IS a great name. Perhaps we could do a little research project on heroes called Alex and the behaviour of heroines when paired with such a hero? Need a thesis topic anyone??

Suzanne - I actually quite like it when my characters do this, even when it's annoying. It's usually a sign for me that I'm really getting into their story.

Lorraine - ha! You're so right. I am a panster extraordinaire! No matter how many synopses I do...

I think you’re just trying to fight your true calling as a panster 🙂

You must’ve created very real characters who’ve got minds of their own. Be glad about this – even if you do have to grit your teeth because they’re not listening to you.

Or how about the threat of deletion if they don't start doing what they ought to?

Maybe it's something to do with heroes called Alex that makes the heroines misbehave. My current hero's called Alex too, and my heroine's being a total ninny.
