Oh yes, it’s that time. Time for another blog post. This time it has the….(insert dramatic musical drumroll) the dreaded question!

But wait!

What is the dreaded question? Well, it’s not that dreadful. It’s just not my favorite question because, honestly, I like writing villains and who wants to choose favorites anyways? This day’s topic and blog post is:

Who is your favorite protagonist that you’ve written and why?

Gosh! Knife in the heart, how do I ever choose a favorite? I believe my other characters will slaughter me if I answer. In all seriousness, though, I’ll cheat and pick one from each series (you’re welcome!).

So first off we have The Safe Series! Wow. There’s so many of them. And I already have more of them that have yet to be published. I’ll leave those characters out of this, though. No spoilers (BUT LOT’S OF TEASING!).

I have to say, Ro was my favorite for the longest time… until I wrote Savage. The fifth Safe Novel kind of blew me away as far as content goes and the storyline itself. The characters were even better. There was so much interaction and growth for the characters, and such an extreme circumstance, I fell head over heels for Ace. I really enjoyed writing the internal struggles he and Moira went through, but more than that, I enjoyed him. As the boss of the company, he really had a lot that he’s already done, but he still took the time to learn his flaws and try to continue bettering himself for his marriage and life in general. I found that personal growth highly fascinating and fun to write.

So yeah, Ace is definitely at the top of my list.

Next up we have the Defiant Trilogy. Alas, only two of three have been released, but I don’t need all three to reveal my favorite. As a series with multiple points of view, there can still only be one…Faelan of course. I simply adore Faelan, she’s the character I spent many years trying to conquer and never got it right until Defiant. She’s everything I imagined her to be. Sarcastic, funny, but still sentient and real. She can be just as emotional as anyone, but she can pick herself up and be strong when needed.

As my next series doesn’t release until October, I don’t want to give too much away on that front, but I will say this: Liz, the main character, goes through more growth and change than any character I’ve ever written and is one of my all time favorites. Her story lives and lingers inside my mind, even though I’ve long since put it aside for publishing, and I deeply hope all my fans are as intrigued with it as I am.

Hope you enjoyed today’s read, until next!

Much Love,
