I am currently working on a book. Its a thriller/romance set in Samoa with overtones of supernatural weirdness. Writing a book is VERY hard work - especially when you're trying to put the male lead into words. One finds one's self searching for inspiration everywhere...considering the finer merits of various specimens - like
This one.

And a bit of this one.

Maybe some of this one.

But then theres always some of this example.

And of course there's always a sprinkle of this.

But i gotta say, the BEST inspiration for romantic male leads has got to be this guy...the one I wake up with every morning...when i can catch him, that is - as he runs past...

And runs past again...

Yep, even with his eyes shut, the man is TOTAL romantic male lead material.

Which is probably why I married him seventeen years ago.
Now thats enough cotton candy procrastinating. I've got to get back to work. Or else this romance thriller novel will forever remain a figment of my imagination.
