Falling in Love with Fictional Men

Come on, admit it.  We all do this to some extent.  Whose heart hasn’t beaten faster when Daniel Craig comes on the screen, get a little obsessed with everything he’s been in, or have a life-size cut out of him in your bedroom?  Okay, that last one might be only me.  But it’s not like I went out and bought him (though I totally would have).  I won Daniel Craig at a writer’s conference.  Talk about inspiration.

Anyway, Daniel Craig isn’t what this post is about, though I think that would be a great idea. 

What do you do when you fall in love with your hero? 

In my recent book, MOOSED UP, I have one hot Alaska Wildlife Refuge Office, Lynx Maiski.  He’s a different hero for me.  Alpha male when he needs to be, but perfectly fine with the woman in his life calling the shots.  He’s sweet and caring and wants to please.  Growing up with three sisters, he is well-rounded, yet bad ass and tough as Alaska requires a man in his position to be.  I love him!  I love him so much that writing on my next book feels like I’m cheating.  I want to go back and play with Lynx.  But his story is finished.  Hell, it’s out. 

So, how does a writer move on and embrace writing a new man?

One lucky commenter will receive a digital copy of MOOSED UP so you can have a chance to fall in love with Lynx too.

Stay out of the woods...the moose are loose and the men are hungry.
Nurse Practitioner Eva Stuart’s life is messed-up. She found her fiancé in bed with her best friend Jeremy, which has killed her confidence as a desirable woman and brought her judgment into question when it comes to men. Needing a change of scenery, she leaves Cincinnati behind for the wilds of Alaska and opts for running a medical clinic in a remote town. Her life quickly changes from messed-up to moosed-up as nature takes a stab at her.

Wildlife Refuge Officer Lynx Maiski is big... and hot... and hungry for a mate. He’s more than willing to show Eva just how sexy she is. After all, sometimes what a street-smart woman really needs is a forest-smart mountain man. But he’s keeping a secret that seems destined to ruin his chances at love.

Soon they are dealing with small town interference, a sun that refuses to set, deadly poachers, out of control lust, and a matchmaking moose on the loose.
