PLACES TO FIND PICTURES OF HEROES
MY CHILDHOOD HEROES
JFK (I fell deeply in love with the big family, America royalty, Camelot thang that I even spent a fair whack of time on my honeymoon chasing JFK sites around North America ;))
Franco Zeffirelli (Italian film director)
Kenneth Branagh (I had a big thing for movies, can you tell? I still have a signed photo of Mr Branagh in my treasure chest at home)
NOW I'M INSPIRED BY
My hubby
Collingwood Footy Club I even dedicated a book, MILLIONAIRE TO THE RESCUE, to them!
Don't forget to check out my heroine inspiration page as well!

Saxon Ciantar. Sexy, cheeky, and a bit of a rebel. Christian Bale could easily be the hero inspiration for every book I write, and this picture summed up my Saxon in a heartbeat.
Danny Finch was a troublesome boy. He went through several incarnations until I found this picture of David Beckham in a magazine and then everything fell into place.
Tom Campbell was born of an infamous chat with romance author Trish Wylie who gave me this picture not knowing I would steal it out from under her. It took some kind of negotiating to get permission to use certain pieces of Nathan Fillion.
For my darling Flynn Granger I needed someone dark, elegant, rumpled, believably rich. He as my first Modern Extra hero, and I knew I couldn't go wrong after finding this picture of Jeremy Northam.
I had this photo of British model James Penfold in my arsenal for years. Over and over again I brought it out thinking he'd be perfect hero material. But he never fit, until I met James Dillon.
Wanted: Outback Wife
Here's Christian Bale...again. This book was offered to me as part of a miniseries, therefore the 'look' of each character was chosen by the editors in Richmond so that we all didn't turn up with dark dark and handsome heroes. My guy had to be fair. And this was as fair as I could possibly dare ;).
Ryan Gasper was a suit. A charming, citified, slightly beaten down by circumstance yet successful beyond anyone's wildest dreams suit. Bring on Bradley Whitford who I adore as Josh in The West Wing.
Harry Buchanan rode a motorbike and wore a leather jacket. He was hip, stubbled and oh so sexy. This picture of Martin Henderson was a perfect fit.
Luca Siracusa. Aaaaahhhh, Luca. My first Italian hero. He was some kind of joy to write, and though he was half based on a man I saw walking through the cobbled streets of Verona with a little girl at the end of his arm, Raoul Bova was pretty darned close.
This was a book I wrote in three weeks, after deciding about a month before deadline that I hated the book I had been writing. Enter this picture of Jeff Bridges as Adam Tyler to save the day.
The very first time we meet Simon Coleman he is wet with his dark hair dripping onto his beautiful face. no guesses as to where I got that idea. Yep, that is Keanu Reeves.
Sebastian Fox was born from this picture of Alec Baldwin. I love the choppy hair, the dark sweater, the look in his eyes. Yum!
Needless to say I am a huge Sex and the City fan. Chris Noth being a favourite of mine since his Law and Order days. When I sat down to write my first ever romance, with the image of a tall, dark , handsome hero in my eyes, this was an easy pick ;). |
