Falling In
Love On The Page
Love is
fabulous. The euphoria you feel when in love, it can’t be replicated or even
explained, really. Anyone who’s been in love will probably tell you it’s the
best feeling in the world.
Most everyone
wants it, and, I would argue, everyone needs it.
Even
fictional characters. Those pesky critters who, for writers, live in our heads
and chatter at us all day long. Oh, the joy of writing a scene for two
characters who are falling in love, and throwing every obstacle at them except
the kitchen sink. Hmm, that would actually be interesting in a fight. :)
But I’m not
talking about characters falling in love, not really. I’m talking about those
characters we, as readers, fall in love with. Maybe you’ve heard about “Book
Boyfriends”, or a friend has mentioned a hero she can’t stop thinking about,
and who doesn’t have a friend who is looking for her very own quintessentially
aloof Mr. Darcy. These are the characters that snag a heartstring and won’t let
go. These are the men we fantasize about, obsess over, and sometimes wish were
our boyfriends or husbands. Jon Snow? Oh heck yes! Christian Grey? He might not
be your cup of tea, but women the world over want to fix him. And we can’t
forget about all of the guys in JR Ward’s Black Dagger Brotherhood!
So what makes
a perfect Book Boyfriend?
The answer to
that question is as varied as the women (and men) who read books! Some like an
Alpha hero who can wield a machine gun far easier than a diaper, others like
the sensitive type who can prevent world domination with one stroke on the
keyboard. Me? I like a bit of both.
Intelligence
is sexy as hell. But I’m not opposed to an awesome set of abs. Add a sword and
I’m positively swooning.
No matter how
many times I read over my manuscript, I fall in love with my hero all over
again. Right now, that’s Rhoane from my fantasy series. I know I created him,
but somewhere along the way he developed into his own character and did things
that surprised me. Same with my heroine, Taryn. I might even love her more than
Rhoane (shhh! Don’t tell him). Writing is funny like that. We make up these
people, let them take up residence inside our heads for however long, and then
fall madly, deeply, forever in love with them. When I have to hurt them, it
breaks my heart. But without a little pain on their part, the story would
suffer. Right? It can’t be all roses and sonnets. Every so often I get so upset
with what I put them through that I have to walk away.
It’s the same
when I’m reading a book. I want so badly for everything to go right for the
characters, these imaginary people I’m falling in love with, that I get angry
when the writer pulls them apart. Yes, I am that passionate about what I read
and write. And you know what? I bet I’m not alone. But in the end it all works
out. At least, I’m happiest when it does. A true romantic at heart, I love me a
good happily ever after.
Now it’s your
turn. Who’s your Book Boyfriend or Girlfriend? Has a book ever enraged you so
much you had to stop reading, only to pick it up an hour later because you had
to make sure the characters were okay? Are you a romantic, or are you cool with
the hero and heroine being happy for now?
As a special
thank you for stopping by and commenting, everyone who leaves a comment will be
entered into a drawing to receive a $10 Starbucks gift card and a cool bit of
swag. To win, you’ll need to send me your mailing address (I promise I won’t
sell the information or do anything nefarious with it, just mail you some
awesome stuff!). You can send me your email now and that way if you win, I’ll
be able to reach you right away, or you can wait until the winner is drawn. The
deadline for comments is Sunday, September 7, 2014. I’ll pop back in and leave
a comment with the winner’s name.
Here’s a bit
about Taryn and Rhoane’s story¦
The Stones of
Kaldaar: Song of the Swords Book One
Some say she’s
the one of prophecy,
that she’ll
bring balance to the world.
Others say
she’s the destroyer,
meant to
bring an end to Aelinae.
They’re both
right.
Everything
Taryn knew was a lie. Her life on Earth, the man she thought was her
grandfather, even her age, were all fabrications meant to protect her, to keep
her hidden until she could return to her home world. Once on Aelinae, Taryn realizes
she has more to fear than the creeping darkness that threatens to suffocate
her.
Unwilling to
become a pawn in the machinations of her scheming family and the world she now
calls home, Taryn sets out to learn about her mysterious powers. Reluctantly,
she accepts the help of Rhoane, a man who promises to protect her, but whom
she's not sure she can trust.
As tensions
mount and her loved ones are threatened, Taryn must confront an ancient enemy
and stop a sinister plan to bring back a banished god.
On Aelinae
they say there can be no Light without Dark and no darkness without light. If
Taryn fails, there will be only Blackness. Absolute. Binding. Without end.
Failure is
simply not an option.
