Donna & I love to play around with playlists. For every book we divy up the hero & heroine (via no particular method except Donna writes medical professionals & law enforcement types, and I tend to bogart all the technical geeks) and take full responsibility for that character’s history,... Read more

Behind the Hero: Jackson Holt

These days, it’s almost surreal to be talking about the Southern Arcana universe because Bree and I have been developing these characters for a long time. Some of them are one, two, even three years in the making. Crux was our first pro writing effort, and we’ve done a lot of worldbuilding... Read more

When Bree and I were doing our kamikaze-style brainstorming and worldbuilding for Sexual Healing, the first character I really connected with was our hero. I immediately felt like maybe I could capture the essence of a man who deals in pain, lives with it every day, but can usually rely on his discipline... Read more

Oliver Russell from Calling the Bluff is one hell of a hero…and he was, quite honestly, hell to write. LOL He’s so intensely private and locked in his own head that there are vast pieces of his backstory I’d developed and taken notes on, but was never able to write about. It would... Read more

Adrian Torres is one of those rare heroes who joins Keith and Jack in the ranks of being Alpha as Hell Bastards who don’t piss me off. LOL I’ve joked before and I’ll joke again about my love/hate relationship with my alpha male characters. Maybe it has something to do with the fact... Read more

Behind the Hero: Leofric

Welcome to another exciting episode of Behind the Hero! Today is a special treat for me because Leofric (better known in this century as Leo) was one of my very favorite heroes to write. So often in the paranormal genre you get caught in a trap where the big, the bad and the broody are the only men... Read more

Jack Owens is the Alpha of the Lonely River Pack, a man whose unenviable job involves keeping peace between the humans who are scraping their lives back together after a vicious plague and the werewolves whose existence became obvious when they didn’t die from it. As such he’s a man who... Read more

Reed Mercier is a total triple threat. He’s funny, hot as hell, and a truly nice guy. It’s that last part, I think, that trips our heroine Sara up a little bit. He’d be easy to deal with–and discard–if he were just another handsome jerk who knew it. But he’s got... Read more

Behind the Hero: Tequila Sunrise

Tequila Sunrise was a tough story to write, and in a lot of different ways. For one thing, we knew this wouldn’t be your standard romance ménage a trois, where everyone ends up together and loving it on the last page. For one thing, our alphas don’t share well, which means poor Kieran... Read more

Keith Winston is one of my favorite alpha characters, simply because he’s so much more complex than he appears at first glance. On the surface he’s like most basic alpha types: a warrior. He’s a fighter, and he’s good at it. Not just the brute force fists and guns though–Keith... Read more
