Heroes, Anti-Heroes and Guys Who Just Need Their Ass Kicked Part 1 of 5
Over the next few weeks I will be posting my thoughts on the types of heroes I write for each series.
Ghostwalkers
I love a good hero or even anti-hero as much as the next person. Dark, mysterious and bad-ass make up the majority of the heroes I write, in any of my series.
Each series has a different kind of hero since each series highlights a different kind of world for those characters.
My Ghostwalkers are military men who were experimented on and had their natural psychic abilities enhanced. But, at their core they are military and they have traits you would associate with a solider. They want order, organization, they are suspect of anything out of the ordinary, they are honorable and trust mainly their own team. They swear, they’re hard, they fight, they kill. They are strategic and they go after an enemy with precision.
These are alpha heroes. They’re bossy, like their way and expect orders to be followed, especially theirs. If you’re looking for a beta hero, or a touchy-feely kind of hero, these are NOT them. They will take charge and push you if you let them.
Their heroines are women who were genetically enhanced. These women are sometimes abused, always mistreated to an extent, some are tortured and some are trained to kill. Some are abandoned and left to die. They are survivors with a lot of internal conflict regarding acceptance and trust. They are looking for a balance, needing help to adjust to a more normal life, needing guidance, but also needing someone worthy of their trust and loyalty. Some may be unsure of relationships and some may fight having one. Some may feel unwanted, unloveable, unworthy. But, in different ways, the heroines are equal to the heroes.
It is when two shattered lives find that their pieces fit that true love can exist even for the hardened, abandoned and unusual.
