LOL I have ...That's one way to remove an arrow! LOL I have a problem not making my h&h too perfect. So I've been working on that. My current hero doesn't have a high powered job. He's a total slacker doing just enough to get by. My last heroine discarded men faster than empty pizza boxes. It's a challenge to work with characteristics that are less than the accepted norm. But, I think these characters are more sympathetic than their perfect counterparts.Jannine Gallanthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17692098634695675967noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9023937099212820339.post-52894995265978734552014-04-15T09:32:24.965-04:002014-04-15T09:32:24.965-04:00Oh, good heavens, it about went black for me too, ...Oh, good heavens, it about went black for me too, just reading about it.

Still love that cover!Margo Hoornstrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00036077481652050799noreply@blogger.com
