![]() Of course, the heroes get their moments to shine, as well, and shine they do. ![]() ![]() They can save themselves, and even, on occasion, lend the hero a hand. When it came time to write the Blades books, right from the beginning I vowed to make my heroines just as smart and just as capable as the heroes. Often, the heroine has to be bailed out by the hero, or it’s mostly luck that gets her to safety. It’s a safe bet to say that many romance readers have come across heroines with more sass than smarts. I loved writing each and every one of my heroes and heroines, not just for their diversity, but because they were fun and, above all, intelligent. This means that not only do I have English heroes and heroines, I have a Canadian Indian hero, an American journalist heroine, and a black British hero-who happens to be a scientific genius. Romance readers are a diverse group, and I decided to bring that diversity to a historical setting. After reading many, many books about spying dukes and bluestocking debutantes, I wanted to read something really different, something that combined the richness of a historical romance with the range and potential of paranormal romance. Why: I’m an admitted fan of historical romance, but I’ve also enjoyed the freedom and diversity available in paranormal romance. Where: All over the world! From the wind-swept steppes of Mongolia, to the gleaming islands in the Aegean Sea, to the rugged Canadian Rockies, and a few more surprising locations. ![]()
