Hello, Everyone!
Time again for another version of the Round Robin Blog tour!!
This month's topic is: What type heroine(s), traits, personality, in particular
always draw you into the story? Has it changed with time? And do you
write this type of heroine? (Next month we will cover heroes)
I hate wimpy heroines!! If a book starts off with a woman who can't
stand on her own two feet then manages to turn her entire life around and take
control of things, I'm happy. If she gets smacked down by circumstance and
other characters time and time again and never figures out how to duck, I stop
reading.
My heroines always start off in a sticky
situation of some sort, their lives dictated to them by the men they have
chosen to have around them. I love to have them evolve and discover they can take care of themselves. They can be strong, happy, and loved. Best of
all, they can follow their passions
and succeed. I hope my heroines can inspire my reader to change something in their
own lives that don't work - or at very least provide a good read.
In The Bookstore Lady, Katie is the
kept woman of a mobster. She dresses, colors her hair and acts exactly the way
he wants her to. Once he threatens to kill her and is interrupted, she escapes
his clutches, she's a little lost at first then comes into her own and has to
stand up against her past.
In The Mystery Lady (coming out this
spring from Books We Love), Lucy has been dumped by her husband for other women
(yes, that is plural!) and learns he is not the good provider or wonderful man
she thought. Having been a mousy little housewife for so long, she has to learn
how to release her strong, independent side and face her deepest fear - losing
her kids and maybe her life.
My heroines, much like myself, are all on a
journey to dig deep and be proud of who we are and what we accomplish in our
lives. Much like the ladies joining me on this month's Round Robin Tour!! Let's
take a peek at what Fiona McGier at http://www.fionamcgier.com has to say...
