People Watching, Story Ideas, and Ramblings

Speaking of long hair (Shayne's obsession), Monday night I was flying home from Las Vegas doing my usual people watching in the airport. I like to create characters from people I see. I am still going to create a couple out of that uber hot gay couple I saw at the opera earlier this year, but I digress.

I'm sitting next to my friends and one of them leans over and says, "Isn't that a Nelson twin over there sitting on the floor on the next aisle?"

Of course you have to know who the Nelson twins are. They are the blond twin sons of the late Ricky Nelson and they had several hits a million years ago when they had really long hair. They were always quite goodlooking and their names are Gunnar and Matthew. Anyway, I managed to look in the direction she indicated and sure enough the one sitting on the floor strumming his guitar was Gunnar Nelson with now short blond hair and being in his forties (as am I). He was gorgeous, actually, with his very blue eyes. Anyway as it turns out he was talking with his twin, Matthew who sat in the chair above him.

So now, I am thinking of writing a story with a former long-haired, blond rock star who is now in his forties. I think when I write this story he will most definitely have to resemble Gunnar.

I couldn't help but wonder as the Nelsons got on the Southwest flight with the rest of us if they think about the father they never even got to know dying in a plane crash every time they get on a plane themselves. I know I thought about it when I saw them.

Anyway, now that I am back at home I am continuing to write my angsty story, Pieces. The next release is Sorcerer's Lover 2 and I really believe you need to have read Sorcerer's Lover to get into the second book. Sorcerer's Lover 2 will come out June 27/28 and I might have a giveaway of both Sorcerer's Lover and Sorcerer's Lover 2 as a package for those who have not read the first one.
