Today’s menu may not be as sexy as I normally serve. I thought I’d bring out some of the pictures I’ve used for inspirations for my heroes and the other men in some of my books. In FAERIE FATE, there are three yummy men, though one has already given his heart. Niall is hand-fasted to Siobhan but he’s still nice to look at and Siobhan has told me she doesn’t mind if we window shop.

This is how I see Niall. Well, minus the kilt. The Irish didn’t wear kilts. They wore trews. Niall is Ciaran’s mentor and the captain of his guard. You might recognize his RL model as Liam Neeson. These next two are names, likely unfamiliar to you. The first is Andre Danke, a model. This is Ciaran, in his modern guise. Dark hair. Blue eyes. Mmmmm. That devilish wag next to Ciaran is his cousin, Riordan. When his book, FAERIE FOOL, is written, he’ll be called Rory. Riordan’s model is Chris Charles.

I’m sure you all know who my model for Duncan in FAERIE FIRE is. And no, MY Duncan was conceived and named long before I ever heard of The Highlander and Duncan “There Can Be Only One” McLeod. Though…I do have to admit the first time I saw Adrian Paul I knew immediately I would cast him to play my Duncan. In fact, I was a bit freaked out and wondered if I had a doppleganger out there somewhere picking up on the thoughts my imagination was spinning out. Srsly. Freaked. Out.

So those are my FAERIE books, which still don’t have an over-arcing title for the trilogy. *HEAVY sigh* I wish I could catch lightning in a bottle. I’m wondering if that’s why I’m so bogged down on the NaNo WIP. So…who else do I have lurking in my files. Oh, Guy, from SHADOW DANCE. He’s always a crowd pleaser. Though I’m probably going to rework that book. Again. We can still enjoy him (and his model, Frank Grillo) though. The next two pics belong to C&W star Joe Nichols. In WALTZING MATILDA, he’s attorney Gabe Montreaux.

Give me some hints for next week, ladies. If you could pick one man to be your hero, who would it be? And for those curious souls, my NaNo count:
