This week: Our authors’ favorite type of hero …

Thanks to the awesome Kim Handysides for this week’s interesting author questions, and if you arrived here via Women’s fiction author, Tessa Gray, thanks for continuing the hop.

What’s your ideal: alpha or beta and why? A mixture. I don’t believe a guy is totally one or the other. I’m pretty passive until someone jerks my chain. On the other side of the coin, I have a friend who is a take charge individual, however, when someone confronts her, she has trouble standing up for herself. Everyone has their strengths and weaknesses. How a man handles those is what makes him a hero or an a$$.

As for my type of hero, I’ll said I like the strong silent type who doesn’t try to impress, but is secure in his own skin. A man of few words, but means what he says and can back it up.

Do you have a male buddy or mate you use for confirmation or inspiration when crafting your heroes? 

I worked in a male dominated company for over twenty years and learned to decipher the male psyche, but when I get stumped, I ask my nineteen year old son.

What does any hero have to do to win your heart? Loyalty and honesty are at the top of my list and if you have a body like Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson, that’s icing on the cake.
