It’s not all black and white… One of the great things about writing is that element of ‘wish-fulfilment’. I can set my stories in exotic locations that I’d love to visit or revisit. I get to create gorgeous guys who can make me laugh and be ultra sexy. And I get to put a part of myself into every heroine – not ‘real’ history – but emotions and dreams and snippets of ‘what if I’d’s. I love to give my heroines jobs that I’d have loved to do in another life. Emma, in MELT, embodies my artist dream. I’m in awe of people who can use paint and produce something amazing – something that actually resembles something else, or captures the spirit of another person. I just didn’t get the art gene and I think no matter … Don't fight it. Read more from TNH goddesses...
New from The Naked Hero
Undressing the Casanova….why bother? Because we can’t resist.
Okay, okay, okay, Goddesses.... We all know one. He's the guy in the clothes that cost more than the ones you're wearing. The one whose car makes all the other cars in the parking lot look like lemons. The one whose hair is to perfectly gelled and tousled that it looks like he just finished satisfying one of his more "primal needs" at any given time. The one who always know what to say...how to say it....and when to say it. Yup.......the Casanova. *SIGH* I would love to be able to say I've never met one of these types. Unfortunately, I dated a guy like this in high school, and off and on in the years after graduation. (Yes, I realize that this was about a million years ago--but his memory remains fresh in my mind. Why, you ask? Because … Don't fight it. Read more from TNH goddesses...

Stripping Down My Hero from Painted Jezebel by Jolie Pethtel
It’s kind of ironic that I’ve been asked to strip down my hero from Painted Jezebel, because the first thing out of my heroine’s mouth when she sees him is “Are you positive you aren’t a stripper?” I’m sure if you saw him, you could understand how Jezebel could make such a mistake. Finn Mackenzie is a hot Irishman with sexy brogue, gorgeous emerald eyes, a boyish smile and a body to die for, but there is more to him than just a drool worthy package. First of all, he’s a publicist. Now you might be a bit turned off by this and thinking to yourself how thrilling can stripping down a publicist be? Jezebel would have agreed with you—at first. He seemed to be a bit of a bore, with his highlighted contracts and ridiculous … Don't fight it. Read more from TNH goddesses...
My Kind of Heroes by Guest Author Mary Abshire
Hi everyone, today I'm handing over the reigns to my friend Mary Abshire, who recently released The Awakening, a thrilling urban fantasy. My Kind of Heroes First, I'd like to say thank you to my friend, Rosalie, for having me on the Naked Hero. Thanks girlfriend! Today I'm going to talk about my favorite kind of heroes. Yes, I have more than one type. What can I say? I'm complicated. I write paranormal romance and urban fantasy, so I have different heroes for each genre. As I'm writing romance, I see my hero as strong, courageous, gentlemanly, smart, a sense of humor, caring, loving, not afraid to show his feelings for the woman he wants. And sexy, of course! And with a nice package!! And… I'm sure you get the idea. With urban … Don't fight it. Read more from TNH goddesses...
A Forbidden Crush, by Cari Quinn
Welcome guest Goddess, Cari Quinn, author of the bestselling No Dress Required, an Entangled Flirt! ♥ ♥ ♥ I’m so excited to be here today! Especially since I’m talking about my characters, something I love to do. Noelle and Jake from my recent Entangled Publishing Flirt, No Dress Required, were fun to write about for a lot of reasons. Noelle especially. She seems like an innocent, ordinary girl with a harmless crush on her best friend’s older brother—something probably many of us have experienced at one time or another. She’s also in a bit of denial. As much as it seems as if she is suffering from a bit of hormone overload, that’s not the case. Sure, she’s attracted to Jake, but she wants a lot … Don't fight it.

Stripping Down My Favorite Villains
Before I jump into my favorite villains, I wanted to talk a quick second about my own hero. If you've been around Twitter lately, I'm sure you've noticed a hashtag #HeroWars floating around. Next Monday Boone will be going up against a god (he's not worried). In the meantime, check out Boone\'s STATS and see whose picture inspire the character. Now, onto the good stuff! I have a confession (don’t the best blog posts start out this way?) – I am hopelessly in love with villains. I love the way their twisted minds work and how the best ones put the hero through his paces and have him dancing on a string of their making. Sure, I generally want them to fail and Good to triumph over Evil… But sometimes I don’t. Sometimes … Don't fight it. Read more from TNH goddesses...

Who is Jack Callaghan?
I'm all about the visual. I make Dream Boards (a fancy name for a collage) about my fictional worlds, including who would play my characters in the TV or movie versions of my stories. This is not so farfetched as it may sound. Several people in Jennifer Lopez's production company read Hasta la Vista, Lola! (the fact that a few people read it is apparently a big deal). They passed, unfortunately, but people who know J.Lo know about Lola Cruz! I think that's pretty damn cool. Drop Dead Lola (my working title), a Lola Cruz Mystery novella, and Bare-Naked Lola, the 3rd Lola Cruz Mystery, are both set to come out (March for the novella and April for book 3) and I've finally figured out who would play Jack Callaghan on film.
