You Decide

I'm making progress on the current work in progress, Twice in a Lifetime (I finished the first chapter). And already am looking to what comes next. Inspired by recent posts about future plans from my two good writer friends, Ava and Devon, I decided to pose the question here to whoever cares to vote on what should come next after I have completed Twice in a Lifetime. I'll leave this post up for the remainder of the week. On Friday, I will choose a random commenter to win a copy of whatever ebook of mine they would care to win.

Now please keep in mind these are very rough descriptions and they are subject to change:

Pieces: Three years ago, Patrick's lover commited suicide. He's had trouble coming to terms with it, but he's ready to take a chance on love again with the man he's always loved, his dead lover's cousin.

The Same Side (Other Side 2): Dr. Ray Carmichael and his lover, Nick Sorenson, have been involved in a relationship for months. Nick's working in a new department of the LAPD and working a dangerous undercover assignment. Ray's not thrilled, but keeps his mouth shut until Nick is seriously hurt. As Ray's dad has a heart attack and the family begins to fall apart, he pressures Nick to quit the force, which only pushes the man away. Maybe for good.

Undeniable: Lord Christian was a war hero, but he's emotionally broken and prefers isolation. His family sends him to the family country seat to recover where the butler, Hollington, is charged with his care. Hollington has always been in love with the sexy, smoldering and achingly vulnerable Christian, but love for another man is not done. Until one pain filled night, Hollington can no longer hide his need for Christian.

Never the One: Tyler Vanderholt and Eric Boone have been best friends and partners for years. They're both gay, but have never been more than friends. When a seriel killer strikes Wind's Canyon's elderly population, the two must find the killer and fast. As the murderer strikes again and again, the pressures wreak havoc on their personal life and they're turning to each other. (I need to have this done by March)

Waking the Prince: When an evil sorcerer threatens the life of the tiny baby prince he knows will kill him someday, the baby is hidden from all who would see him destroyed. Prince Roland is raised in poverty, kept away from all knowledge of his true identity. Until he is old enough and a warrior, Octavius, is sent to train him for his destiny. Roland falls in love with Octavius, but before he can learn the truth of who he is the sorcerer's minions discover him and he is put into a deep sleep. Who can wake the prince before it is too late?

Favorite Heroes

Apparently I'm in a wondering mood this week because today's topic is favorite heroes. Also I love to stimulate discussion even if it is by just a handful of people who happen to actually appear interested in the happenings here. Thanks for that.

So, my question for those who care to answer, who are some of your all time favorite fictional heroes? I know it is hard to narrow it down to just a few, but do try if you can.

I'll start out the discussion with some I can come up with off the top of my own curly head.

1) I have two favorite heterosexual historical romance heroes and they are both heroes by the same author and they are Ian from Julie Garwood's The Secret and Geoffrey from Julie Garwood's Gentle Warrior.

2) Favorite hero from a contemporary heterosexual would be Harry Trevelyan from Jayne Ann Krentz's Absolutely, Positively.

3) I must confess I don't read a whole lot of historical gay fiction. Most of what is out there sort of bores me because I'm just not a fan of endless historical details in my enjoyment reading. If I want to read about that I will pick up a history book. I myself write when the fancy takes me "historical light" but I will say that I have a definite soft spot for Lord Oliver from Ava March's Bound series.

4) And finally I must list a few favorites in the contemporary gay fiction. I absolutely adore Keaton (Bit) Reynolds from J.L. Langley's Without Reservations. I love both Sean and Dan from Josh Lanyon's The Dark Horse and The White Knight. I love Sean from AM. Riley's The Elegant Corpse.



5) And for Sci-Fi I am going with Aiden from My Fair Captain.

Naturally I love many more heroes and books but this is what I could come up with and that stand out with me right now.
So how about it, who are some of your favorites?
