My Characters Will Introduce Me.
Since this is my first time on Sinn’s blog, it could make sense to tell you something about me. But instead I think I’ll tell you a little about some of my favorite people – my characters. Just knowing them will tell you lots about their collaborator/discoverer (they all exist. I just find them! LOL). Here are a few of them:
· Dr. Emmaline Silvay – My first creation, the central point-of-view character in Genetic Attraction, my first book. Raised by a counterculture, hippie mom in communes, Em is a brilliant and renowned geneticist who adores her career but maintains that streak of the unconventional. In the seven books I have written so far, Em is my only female central protagonist.
· Roan Black – The “supermodel” of The Scientist and the Supermodel, Roan will, I suspect, remain one of my all-time favorite heroes for years to come. Almost mythologically beautiful, he is wildly successful as a model and entrepreneur despite having run away from his Midwestern home and school at 16 to escape his father’s beatings. He is wise, sensitive, loving and desires nothing more than to have love and family of his own.
· David Underwood – The hero of Volley Balls, my new release from Etopia Press, David is the very gay owner of an art gallery in popular Laguna Beach, California. David poses nude in the summer art pageant as the statue of David by Michelangelo. Though very effeminate in style and manner, David is powerful, independent and fierce in standing up for what he believes.
· Daniel Terrebone – One of my M/M/M ménage in the upcoming romantic suspense, Golden Dancer (releasing September 27), Daniel is a man of mystery, a billionaire art collector who may or may not have stolen a priceless statue called the Golden Dancer. Though young, he has a full head of silver hair and eyes so dark blue they appear black. He is an interesting combination of ruthless and vulnerable.
· Caleb Martin – A young professional soccer player on the brink of stardom, Cal, the central character in Deceptive Attraction, has doubts about his desire to live his life as a professional athlete. Big, hunky and intelligent, he has an abiding desire to help people. Deceptive Attraction is the sequel to Genetic Attraction.
So now you know, I’m a dedicated career woman with a bit of the counter-culture; I love people who are both gentle and wise. I’m passionate about diversity and allowing people to be who they are. I adore art and entrepreneurship and believe in finding what you love to do and doing it no matter what anyone else says. A lot of these values are expressed in my new novella, Volley Balls that released July 1 from Etopia Press. And you can win a copy. Here’s how:
