Lori Foster:
2 questions: 1) what inspired you to do so many books about human trafficking? And 2) physicality, how close are your taller/muscular heroes to your husband when you meet him?
Lori Foster
Thanks for the interest, Jennifer.
Human trafficking is one of those things that weighs heavily on my mind. It sickens me that it's become political when it shouldn't. Far, far, FAR too many minors are caught up in this, and it's the most heartbreaking thing in the world. I can't write about that because my heart would be shattered, do I write about the adult women victims instead - but only as a backstory. I want my characters to be able to overcome, when I reality, I think that would be nearly impossible to do.
As to my husband, he would crack up if he read that! We met the 3rd day of our sophomore year of high school. He was 5'10" then, and is probably shorter now. (We're getting up there in years!) The similarity of him to the heroes I write isn't in appearance, but in character, in honor, in generosity and protectiveness. He's also a very funny guy.
Here's hoping you have an amazing day!

I love that you say your sister inspired you to start writing...you have a true gift for the romance genre! I have just recently Fighting Dirty, I just couldn't put it down. There was something really endearing about Armie and Rissy's story. Keep up the great work, looking forward to reading more of your stories!! :D What would you be doing if you hadn't started writing?
