Honey Trap and Dominick
Filed under: hero worship, Honey Trap | Tags: Honey Trap
I’ll talk more about Sophie tomorrow, but I’ve got a post up today on The Writing Playground about how I came up with the hero of Honey Trap, Dominick Steele. I’ll also be giving away a copy of Honey Trap there, to a person who comments.
So please visit The Writing Playground!
Meanwhile, here is a picture of the physical inspiration for Dominick Steele. A beautiful man, and one who happens to have grown up about forty miles from my home town…

Hope the radio talk went OK today. I think your talks on that subject have preceeded you. Yes, well, he does look rather hero typish for a book. Who is he?
Patrick Dempsey.
Thank you, the talk went very well. It was hiliarious, actually.
Mmm. Yep, he makes a very delicious Dom. I hadn’t tried to picture him, but he does fit the bill rather nicely.
Oh………. Jan goes weak and has to be revived…..
He is rather special isn’t he? ggg
Kate, I made up Dominick before I found a model for him, which is unusual for me. But he just seemed to fit, especially in this picture.
Maybe I should send him a copy of the book, seeing as we’re practically childhood friends.
I did the same thing with one of my favourite characters, and then one day I saw a magazine advert for cologne and suddenly went, “That’s Luke!” So now I have the advert pinned up next to my computer. You know, for professional purposes.
Oooh! I love PD! Hadn’t realised he was Dominick Steele, tho! I could read it all again with renewed interest…
You know, Kate, I used to play Dungeons and Dragons and for years used the same character called Iris. And one day I was reading a magazine and saw a photo of her. It was weird.
Go on, Jan, read it again, particularly the parts where he’s described naked. 😉
