LO...Jerry, you just made my entire week, my friend! LOL I love each and every character of the Wolf Creek community. Every single one of them have something to offer and their combined personalities brings realism to the entire series. I love also the idea of being able to "use" each other's characters in our stories/scenes in keeping with that realism. And of course, Troy's the mastermind behind it all, keeping those plots and thoughts and ideas streaming along. Thanks so much for stopping by!Cheryl Piersonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18116526340220274282noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1409887812566625284.post-69708624825000829562017-01-19T12:51:10.647-06:002017-01-19T12:51:10.647-06:00Jacquie, the first romance book I ever read had a ...Jacquie, the first romance book I ever read had a hero a lot like that. But I saw him as being the "take charge, self-assured, been through everything" type. You know what I really loved about that? He had to grow and become more "real" in other ways--to understand that everyone was not as strong as he was, and that in some situations, he was not even as strong as he thought he might be. It was an eye-opener for both of us--him AND me! LOL<br /><br />So glad you stopped by! I, too, love the Wolf Creek world and am so thankful to Troy for concocting it.Cheryl Piersonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18116526340220274282noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1409887812566625284.post-36740260908557060752017-01-19T08:33:39.213-06:002017-01-19T08:33:39.213-06:00I applaud Troy Smith for leaving the door open for...I applaud Troy Smith for leaving the door open for ideas to promote the series. Introducing new arrivals in each book gives realism to understandable problems of the time. <br />Cheryl, Wolf Creek wouldn't be the same without your character showing from time to time.

Thanks to Troy and all the WC authors.<br /><br />The ordinary man thrust into extraordinary circumstances is probably my favorite type of hero. On the opposite side, I can least tolerate the arrogant hero who is, in essence, a bully. The first romance novel I ever read had one of these (the book is one of everyone's favorites), and it put me off so much that I didn't read another romance novel for 15 years.Jacquie Rogershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17361793932364487636noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1409887812566625284.post-36551780973394225682017-01-19T00:44:59.640-06:002017-01-19T00:44:59.640-06:00Doris, Troy is right!

The heroine, the story line , and the situation all determine what type of hero is needed. A strong Alpha hero would walk all over a shy, quiet heroine. He needs a feisty heroine who won't let him get away with anything. She on the other hand needs a nice Beta hero who will make her feel safe and and bring her out of her shell and into her own.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1409887812566625284.post-28689516790006842762017-01-18T18:40:20.517-06:002017-01-18T18:40:20.517-06:00I'm so glad you came up with this fantastic id...I'm so glad you came up with this fantastic idea.

We'll see how his mindset changes once he's been in Wolf Creek for awhile. His stock in trade is information ... he's one of those fellows who knows things about people who'd rather not have their secrets known.J.E.S.

LOL I agree with you about a hero--it really can be anyone as long as they are, as you say, following their beliefs with no thought to themselves. <br /><br />So glad you stopped by today, Doris!

They do what they must to honor those beliefs regardless of what might happen to them.<br /><br />I so enjoyed this post and excerpt. I also know the genre lost a beautiful voice with Frank's passing. DorisRenaissance Womenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09045401344374224512noreply@blogger.com
