When beginning to imagine my stories I find it helpful to have some kind of visual image to work with, be it the hero and/or the heroine. But let's face it, in romance novels, the male often drives the story, the passion, the love. Obviously, because I am a female author, I suppose. So who inspires you for a hero? Stop by my pinterest board ("Who's Your Hero?" ) and survey the candidates; I'm sure I'll be adding more! Richard Armitrage Jonas Armstrong Julian Sands Alfred Molina Al Pacino So? Any one particularly strike you? I think all but, of course, that's too many heroes in one story! I guess I'll just have to write more! :-)
