I'm hoping people accept these women as they are. They aren't proud of what they've done, but they had their reasons. They're not about to apologize for their behavior to anyone. As for mixed ancestry, I only have one hero like that so far. I do like that tool used in a story because I'm of mixed ancestry. ;-) I figured out I have three distinctive uncurrents running in all of my stories. The first is 'be careful what you wish for'. The second is 'there is no such thing as an ordinary life' and the third is 'finding love where you least expect it'. It's funny what we put in our stories without conscious thought.

Writing about heroine's of mixed ancestry is my main writing trait. *g* I’m also a fan of “soiled” heroes and heroines–noones perfect, or has led a perfect, unsullied life–so why not write about “real” people in romances?

My little Highlander vamp is a bit of a recluse, so it's going to be fun seeing how these two get together. I'm trying to figure out how long this story is going to be now. I'm terrible at guessing length. Larissa, So far I’m having a blast writing it. My little Highlander vamp is a bit of a recluse, so it’s going to be fun seeing how these two get together.

In my historical vampire book Gothic Passions I had a prostitute that people thought was going to be the heroine. She ended up being an extremely strong character. I always wanted to write her story, but never got around to it. I decided to start her story from where Gothic Passions ends. She's began her new life in Scotland with a new manor and lots of money, thanks to her vampire benefactor and friend, Richard. It's fun so far. I can't wait to bring in the Highlander hero, who also happens to be a close friend with Richard...and a vampire. Thanks Larissa!

The more tainted and tortured, the better! *g* I wish more writers would go beyond PC heroines and give us some women who aren't so squeaky clean. So yeah, I'd love to read about an ex-prostitute heroine! I LIKE heroes and heroines with tainted pasts!

My heroines are definitely likable people, but I wasn't sure how, as a reader, they'd be looked upon. I forgot that your one heroine was a concubine. You know exactly what I'm talking about then.:-) Sylvia,

My darling Sapphire is a concubine. I can easily love a character despite or inspite of their external circumstances. I’m all for tainted heroines. My darling Sapphire is a concubine.
