August 21, 2007 | Honey Trap, hero worship
I’m about a third of the way through this book and I only just picked my model for my hero, Dominick Steele, who is a former alcoholic rock star:

His band’s name is Dirtysweet, which I came up with myself (after listening to T Rex), but he’s also got a former band called Stainless, which is thanks to Jess.

Fran says:
Hello,
nice hero…
am i the mooning type? ha! I’m shy remember.
i’m also a bad mother, was busy writing tonight, when daughter comes wandering through, having been left in her room for two hours, to ask if she could go bed! i hope you realise you’re to blame, if it wasn’t for you i wouldn’t have been writing!

Wow he’s gorgeous!!!
Thanks loads Julie for your comment on my blog and for your encouragement. I thought you guys were such a great double act as romantic fiction tutors and I just received so much from everyone the whole weekend. What a great bunch and what a fab time we all had. Am itching to read your ‘Little Black Dress’ book Spirit Willing. What a unique plot you came up with for that book. Am having to be disciplined and study US Christian fiction books at the moment ready for the Dallas conference in 3 weeks, but can’t wait to read yours once I’m back.

Very nice choice of hero, particularly in this pic he embodies exactly the character you’ve described.

Glad to be of service. *doffs cap*

He is very beautiful. I watched Grey’s Anatomy for the first time tonight and I must say I am hooked.
Fran, remember: when you’re writing, you’re following your dreams, and following your dreams is being a good role model for your kids.
And I’m honoured that I inspired you to neglect your daughter!
Julie says:
Thanks, Liz! Enjoy your studying and of course Dallas.
*waves wildly at Vanessa Jaye, my friend the PUBLISHED AUTHOR*
*and doffs cap back at Jess…if I were wearing a cap, which I’m not because it’s 21.47 on a Wednesday night and I’m about to go to bed after writing a few more words on the wip…but imagine I’m wearing a cap, and that it’s doffed. There.*
Donna Alward says:
Yum. Oh, and mmmmm and rrrrrr.
Good choices on the names, too.
Julie says:
He really is yum. I am totally inspired. Did I mention he was born 30 miles from my home town??
