Pauline is offering one lucky reader a electronic copy of \u003Cspan style=\"font-style:italic;\"\u003EThe Key\u003C\/span\u003E.\u003Cbr \/\u003E \u003Cbr \/\u003E~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~\u003Cbr \/\u003EWhen I sat down to write, \u003Cspan style=\"font-style:italic;\"\u003EGirl Gone Nova\u003C\/span\u003E, I was doing it knowing that \u003Cspan style=\"font-style:italic;\"\u003EThe Key\u003C\/span\u003E had won a bronze IPPY (Independent Publisher award) and the Dream Realm Award for science fiction romance and readers wanted another book about Sara and that I wasn’t going to give it to them. \u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003EMy challenge, then, was to create a character that would be, at the very least, as fun and interesting as Sara, without “doing” Sara again, only with a different name and hair color. I also needed someone who would be high adventure enough to propel the action without being annoying or a guy in girl’s clothing.\u003Cbr \/\u003E \u003Cbr \/\u003EI am a pantster, an “into the mist” writer. That means, when I start a book I have no clue what it’s going to be about. Well, I did know the new novel was going to be a) science fiction romance; and b) set in Garradian universe, same as \u003Cspan style=\"font-style:italic;\"\u003EThe Key\u003C\/span\u003E. But I also wanted it to be able to stand alone. \u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003ELike \u003Cspan style=\"font-style:italic;\"\u003EThe Key\u003C\/span\u003E, it had to begin and end with my characters. When I’m reading a book, if I don’t care about the people, then I close it and move on. When I start creating a character, I begin by using some techniques left over from my playwriting\/screenwriting days. When you are playwriting\/screenwriting, you don’t know what the actress or actor will look like who will eventually play that character, so how they look is very general. You start with basic traits and layer traits on, based on what you need to make the plot start to move, saving the truly personal details for later. \u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003EThe first trait is easy. Doc was female. I don’t remember now why I wanted her to also be a medical doctor, but she was. Maybe I just felt it, or maybe I was channeling her before I knew it. I knew she also needed to be a genius, because the problem she had to solve involved some people missing through an alien technology-based portal.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003EShe needed to have secrets, because characters with secrets are interesting (unless you are the one who has to figure them out!). She needed to have military skills, in addition to her other skills, because she was going to need to kick some butt, possibly several butts. \u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003EThere is an interesting synergy that begins to happen. As you create character traits to meet plot needs, the character traits also begin to shape the plot in new and unexpected directions. And when that happens—after you wail with dismay—you rejoice because you know the character has begun to live and breathe. You know she has become proactive, not passive. You know that now she is your partner in writing the book and not your puppet. \u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003EDoc, from \u003Cspan style=\"font-style:italic;\"\u003EGirl Gone Nova\u003C\/span\u003E, made me work for each trait “reveal,” but Olivia, from my Steampunk novella, \u003Cspan style=\"font-style:italic;\"\u003ETangled in Time\u003C\/span\u003E, walked on to the stage fully formed. Of course, she‘s from the 1890’s and has better manners than Doc. \u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003EIf you would like more information about how I use playwriting\/screenwriting techniques to create characters that work with me and not against me, check out my free article on my website called \u003Ca href=\"http:\/\/www.paulinebjones.com\/gettingthewoodout.htm\"\u003EGetting The Wood Out\u003C\/a\u003E.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003EPrize: Ebook edition of The Key\u003Cbr \/\u003E~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Ca onblur=\"try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}\" href=\"https:\/\/blogger.googleusercontent.com\/img\/b\/R29vZ2xl\/AVvXsEgxpDEZV6Z82dsTazYk_PJ3diGNp9y86KbFzoFSu0Xmgxdt_SjeZ7a7GmX7H_rE3k1d8LrY6a2HQZXyMt0ubDAz3ES_woPJbGEZyiK7GBElgjX1B4beYuBuSvvD9iQIkzPYAaF0\/s1600-h\/paulinebairdjones.jpg\"\u003E\u003Cimg style=\"float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 170px; height: 200px;\" src=\"https:\/\/blogger.googleusercontent.com\/img\/b\/R29vZ2xl\/AVvXsEgxpDEZV6Z82dsTazYk_PJ3diGNp9y86KbFzoFSu0Xmgxdt_SjeZ7a7GmX7H_rE3k1d8LrY6a2HQZXyMt0ubDAz3ES_woPJbGEZyiK7GBElgjX1B4beYuBuSvvD9iQIkzPYAaF0\/s200\/paulinebairdjones.jpg\" border=\"0\" alt=\"\"id=\"BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5431451758782404322\" \/\u003E\u003C\/a\u003EPauline Baird Jones is the award-winning author of nine novels of action-adventure, science fiction romance, suspense, romantic suspense and comedy-mystery.

A genius\/bad ass, she does the impossible on a regular basis.

He turned back, would have smiled at her, but she gripped a weapon with both hands and it was pointed at his chest.

Water ran down her face and off her jaw line.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E“Hel?” Her stance softened some, one hand leaving the partially lowered weapon to rub her eyes. \u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003EHe rose, taking it slow, not anxious to alarm her into shooting. He had no way of knowing what her weapon was set to. \u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003EHe rubbed his scruffy chin. “I had to become Kalian to find you.” \u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003EThe hand holding the weapon dropped to her side.

It slid up, a brief loss of sensation until she found his face. “You need a shave.”\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003EHis hand slid down her arm, his fingers closing around the weapon and easing it out of her grasp. He tossed it onto the copilot’s chair and tugged her close. “I need you.”\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E“I’m a mess.”\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E“You’re perfect.” \u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003EHer laugh broke in the middle. Her arms slid up around his neck. His mouth found hers and passion flared, as out of control as the storm beneath them. He drove her mouth open. Couldn’t get close enough to her to satisfy. He pushed, with his mouth and his body until she slammed into the bulkhead. Water soaked into his clothes, and he could have sworn the air around them sizzled as if touched by fire. She whimpered, deep in her throat. He started to lift his head, concerned he’d hurt her, but her hands at the back of his head, and her moan of protest, stopped that. One should never disappoint a lady.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cspan style=\"font-style:italic;\"\u003E-- Lynda Again --\u003C\/span\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003EThis week's member word is \u003Cspan style=\"font-weight:bold;\"\u003Eforte\u003C\/span\u003E \u003Cbr \/\u003E \\FORT\\   noun\u003Cbr \/\u003E: something in which one excels : one's strong point\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003EMembers of my newsgroup will know what to do with today's word.

Afterwards we exchanged a couple of others, and then got to meet face to face at the Put Your Heart in A Book Conference in NJ.

Through it all Kathleen has never said she wishes I'd leave her alone, that she doesn't have time for me (eventhough she's presently on deadline for the next Mage novel) and has always looked at the good in everything. She loves writing, even getting up early to write before she goes to her day job, and always make time for her family. Since I became a fan, I've seen her talent blossom as each new book topped the last. Kathleen awes me with the kernels she finds in a character and develops to create men and women that you hate to say goodbye too. Quite simply she creates magic...and I hope to meet many more Mages that will grace her future pages.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cimg style=\"TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 214px; CURSOR: hand\" id=\"BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5439745642618858114\" border=\"0\" alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/blogger.googleusercontent.com\/img\/b\/R29vZ2xl\/AVvXsEjhPmQMEwaTbyUXL3nz5V6huK-BuAV4RGJ_F7RGK-EUyB62ej2mBICYQgUAigfyuSY3-hd5u4aKvUyNvVrHeYEW1oEAvjNMsiNJCmTDBfVYn-l_Fr2q2r9cGIswYyt8HDIWNwMl\/s400\/olympus.jpg\" \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cspan style=\"color:#66ffff;\"\u003ECan you give readers insight into the world of the mages created for PHOENIX UNRISEN and again in DRAGON UNMASKED?\u003C\/span\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cspan style=\"color:#ffcc00;\"\u003EIt’s a world of spells and rituals, where the will of the mage is key.

This is the day set aside for women, and men, to wear red to symbolize women's fight against heart disease. I got into the action by wearing what little I had, since it isn't my favorite color. I donned a red t-shirt emblazoned with the message--I'm a keeper and a small rhinestone heart. Since today's high hit 34 degrees, I topped it off with a red and black windbreaker. Everywhere I went I saw people proudly wearing their red in support. Heart disease affects so many people, and by association it also affects families because they are caregivers and patients' support systems. \u003C\/div\u003E\u003Cdiv\u003E\u003C\/div\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cdiv\u003E\u003Cimg style=\"TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 195px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 75px; CURSOR: hand\" id=\"BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5434933271051794770\" border=\"0\" alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/blogger.googleusercontent.com\/img\/b\/R29vZ2xl\/AVvXsEgWNC9o-nB0nvhIOPGugkuK_J2oFfHM9eXEAdQAlrn4GgLSySO6H8tH-mnH3JE7d4_0_WwM7UxpmFviDkf8AlBz1qND3MjyM3-Oy8czy2PYfp-qHIKzooxe5wCurxLCI3O83QBW\/s400\/aha.gif\" \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003ELiving with heart disease isn't easy since once the heart weakens everything kind of goes haywire. The blood isn't pumped as well, which leaves toxins in the body, not to mention a build up of fluid which can block lungs, etc. How did I learn first hand about the disease? My grandfather died of it after years of going though more tests than any one person should have to withstand. Needless to say he was a hero of mine way before he showed his mettle while fighting to live. \u003C\/div\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cdiv\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003C\/div\u003E\u003Cimg style=\"TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 313px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 215px; CURSOR: hand\" id=\"BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5434933831808001570\" border=\"0\" alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/blogger.googleusercontent.com\/img\/b\/R29vZ2xl\/AVvXsEg8I2oTwQX4SicN3eVzvWpm-GInl74OMO2tnO79tmq1wUXK3sUeQp-biY60PYiAiUlHURp8wS_jRL_hKGEfp_goOls3X5Nwd6XvfbaUebdQJzLLRWJWA8qvg_w-GjtMbGwHQWE2\/s400\/heart.jpg\" \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003EAs romance writers we understand romance, the ways of the heart, and are associated with love. Though we specialize in paranormals here at Star-Crossed that doesn't mean we discard the basics, after all matters of the heart are essential to our heroes and heroines. And the most common symbol of that emotion is a heart...so it seemed like a logical jump. Plus the large majority of romance writers are women!\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E(On a tangent, this also had me thinking back to fundraiser brainstorming at a board meeting. What would be cooler than a Writers Walk? That way we could all train for the event to get us out of our chairs for a brief amount of time, help us drop some unhealthy pounds, and give us a way to fundraise for our local groups or other non-profits like those for illiteracy.)\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003EIf you've been reading this blog long, you know I'm a multi-tasker. These days I can't seem to help it. So I decided since my half marathon falls on the day before Valentine's I'd use the event as a \"fun-raiser\" for the American Heart Association and pay respects to my grandfather's memory along the way. 13.1 miles is a long haul, so I'll have time to think about him, and the rest of my family as I plod along. He was the man who taught me to put in a hard days work, yet he also showed me family was integral to living a good life. Looking back on al I've accomplished, I wouldn't have made it to where I am today without the love and support of a long list of friends and relatives who helped me along the way. \u003C\/div\u003E\u003Cdiv\u003E\u003C\/div\u003E\u003Cdiv\u003E\u003Cimg style=\"TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 123px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 150px; CURSOR: hand\" id=\"BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5434934933560882418\" border=\"0\" alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/blogger.googleusercontent.com\/img\/b\/R29vZ2xl\/AVvXsEjhp2LavGsJvCIqgdZ8npJ7w6grZ8OZNtyBLvbwPO1CL7GQ_pYhOC_GvdUMM2id11HTIK2eDNlFDUbXKfaJU3xvSPBiVm-MuT-9wzFy726KSUyHNxRGEWoDOM5prAJDqcoLBjBB\/s400\/cookie.jpg\" \/\u003E\u003C\/div\u003E\u003Cdiv\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003ESo if you're looking for a unique valentine, especially for the the person who has everything, then stop by \u003Ca href=\"http:\/\/amha.convio.net\/goto\/runwithheart\"\u003Emy page\u003C\/a\u003E and make sure when you donate to leave a message.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E________________\u003Cbr \/\u003EAs an aside on heroes from last Friday if you want to see an example of how much a hero can take and keep on ticking, check out \u003Ca href=\"http:\/\/www.ultramarathonman.com\/flash\/\"\u003EDean Karnazes\u003C\/a\u003E and \u003Ca href=\"http:\/\/davidgoggins.blogspot.com\/\"\u003EDavid Goggins\u003C\/a\u003E!
