Inspiration
For a Hero
Where does
Marcia come up with her ideas for characters?
Well, that's easy! From her real life friends, associations and experiences!
Especially where her inspiration for 'lethally handsome' heroes, 'skilled
in the art of romance,' is concerned! One word sums up the source of
that inspiration
"Kevin!"
Born and raised in New Orleans, Louisiana, Marcia's husband, Kevin,
serves not only as her inspiration for many physical attributes and
personality traits of a story's hero
but he also provides a vast
anthology of clever and romantic dialog phrases and colloquialisms.
Many times Kevin is quoted almost verbatim in Marcia's books. Particularly
in those favorite of moments when a hero is delivering a knee-weakening
kiss, accompanied by an impishly flirtatious remark.
Fiction is the imitation of true life (and love) when it comes to heroic
figures in Marcia's literary adventures. And when curious readers ask
Marcia which instances in a story were directly inspired by Kevin
Marcia
doesn't pause before pointing them out!
"I'm
not being over descriptive when I say that it's a boundless blessing to
be married to your fabulously heroic, perfectly handsome, brilliantly
clever dreamiest of dreams! And I am!" -Marcia L. McClure
