Sometimes I secretly wish that I could be the eccentric scientist, Victor Frankenstein from Mary Shelley’s classic novel. Why, you might ask? That’s easy. Because then, I could make the characters in my books come to life. Or better yet, the leading men in my books!
I’d have the time of my life getting to hang out with them. This is especially true of my latest character, Sadie Rollins, from my novel, “The Twelve-Step Plan.” Sadie is so much fun because she’s not afraid to take risks to try and make her dreams come true. For just one day, I’d like to join Sadie on all of her crazy adventures and I’d have the time of my life doing it! From camping out overnight in NYC to see my favorite popstar, to heading down to Miami Beach and partying like a celebrity, I wouldn’t mind getting into scraps with Sadie, because I know that at the end, everything will turn out right (I mean, there has to be a happily ever after, doesn’t it?) And let’s face it, I also wouldn’t mind getting to know X and Miguel, the two men in Sadie’s life that are more than “swoon-worthy!”
But alas, until such time when science can clone these characters, I’ll just have to settle with enjoying them on the pages of my books and look forward to creating more that I can laugh with.

If one of your hunky protagonists ever does arrive in the flesh, could you loan him to me on snowy days? It’s one of the few times a man around the house would be lovely.
Lol. Certainly!
Today?!? My mom’s visiting. Maybe I should wait until she goes home.
