Does he have black, blond, brunette, or auburn hair, or is his hair color unique only to him and displays who he is? (green, purple, etc.) Does he keep it short, shoulder length or does his hair swirl lusciously down his muscular back to stop above his slim waist or firm buttocks?
What color eyes draws you into him? Green? Hazel? Blue? Brown? Or are his eyes as unique as his hair choice.
Is he physically flawless, perfect in every way? What's his greatest accomplishment? His biggest fear?
Is he a doctor, lawyer, insurance salesmen, bookstore owner? Or one of our brave police officers, firefighters, or in the military? A duke? A viscount?
Alpha? Beta? Or somewhere in between?
I tend to read what I write. In romantic suspense I love to read and write about the strong cops who keep our heroine out of harm. But as a switch up, in the book I'm currently writing, my hero is a psychic with visions that scare the daylights out of me--and him. This hero is unusual for me to write, but I'm finding myself very comfortable with him. :) I've never written a book where my hero has auburn hair and a scar on his face. To me, he's the perfect hero, definitely strong and alpha with a twist of vulernability. The scar added distinction and his story drew me in. He's a man fighting his inner demons, torn but all too ready to help the police stop a serial killer before he takes his next victim. And, of course, saving his beautiful heroine and helping her find her true self. Awww...my hero. :)
What type of hero do you like to read about or write? Is the hero who initially draws you into a story?
Happy reading and writing!
Happy Thanksgiving!
