I love to read tortured heroes, but I don't seem to be able to WRITE them. So I admire writers who do it so wonderfully.

(and all the new pirates on the Revenge - welcome!)<br><br>I think I tend to write tortured heroines, more often the heroes for some bizarre reason. I write contemps, so the heroes are usually some form of law enforcement who's the strong, stoic, silent type, while the heroine is the tortured one. My current WIP starts with the heroine getting out of prison, so of course, everything that goes wrong threatens to send her back there through the course of the book, which makes the poor girl freak out entirely....<br><br>Man, I'm meaner than I thought! I can't wait to try a book with a non-tortured hero, Anna! So what'd you think while writing it? Something you'd like to do again? Do you plan that out before, or did this hero simply show up without any baggage?halnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-416913236621309814.post-74819433899868558372009-01-04T12:09:11.000-05:002009-01-04T12:09:11.000-05:00Sorry about the technical difficulties.
