Well, I admit I also write them, but I started out reading them and that's where the addiction came from. :)Nicole Northhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01535088964454920083noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5858828969874855814.post-20276851091691124742011-02-10T21:53:39.892-05:002011-02-10T21:53:39.892-05:00I've just started reading paranormal Highlande...I've just started reading paranormal Highlander stories and I must say-they are completely addicting! Your story sounds great. Congrats! I'm not sure I could make a paranormal hero convincing but I do hope to try to play around with it someday.

I think paranormal heroes can get away with being just a little more alpha than a typical contemporary hero and I can accept it because they are "other" while still maintaining some self-delusion of feminist dignity, lol!Christine Bellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13813598045501650461noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5858828969874855814.post-16440304019597152962011-02-09T23:16:59.770-05:002011-02-09T23:16:59.770-05:00I LOVE Beauty and the Beast, too.

At least, quandary in his opinion because some men never want to need anyone. :)Nicole Northhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01535088964454920083noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5858828969874855814.post-67130227827737277552011-02-09T22:21:58.511-05:002011-02-09T22:21:58.511-05:00I love paranormal heroes, and I agree that you can...I love paranormal heroes, and I agree that you can add some extra torture to their situations just because of their paranormal existence. Magic gives everything an additional edge.

I've enjoyed demons, angels, Fae, weres, vamps... The list goes on and on. Like Eleri said, it's the idea that this super-human being could live right next door and you'd never know that's so appealing.

I love paranormal heroes who aren't obviously different on the surface, who could live next door and you wouldn't know it. I like when their strangeness causes them a lil' bit of angst because they're different and then I like it when they finally find that person who can completely accept and love them.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12742618211008888625noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5858828969874855814.post-40210748957784617342011-02-09T10:13:14.060-05:002011-02-09T10:13:14.060-05:00LOL Thanks so much, Terry!!

When I was growing up, I enjoyed I Dream of Genie, and Bewitched and to me, they were real. Even if they hid their talents from others. I wanted everyone to know how special they were so they wouldn't have to hide that side of them. <br /><br />I love your heroes and how sexy and needy they are, even if they don't know it! :)Terry Spearhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14788961423817944896noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5858828969874855814.post-77155291682904895952011-02-09T09:21:18.547-05:002011-02-09T09:21:18.547-05:00Thanks so much, Caridad!! :)Thanks so much, Caridad!! :)Nicole Northhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01535088964454920083noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5858828969874855814.post-62893876105765104812011-02-09T09:17:42.405-05:002011-02-09T09:17:42.405-05:00Great interview!
