My favorite show now is Jericho. Go, figure. Theresa, brilliant making all your heroes homicide detectives. You only have to worry about the gals. And I love it when characters have money and can have more "free" time. :smile: May, your novel where the world ends sounds fascinating. :shock: Can’t wait to read it.

It was called "Master Of The Game." I still have it, and now I have a hankerin' to dig it out and re-read. As far as occupations, I've had photojournalists, surgeons, detectives, vetrinarians and rodeo stars. WHEW! The current WIP has an old hockey player and financial expert. The common denominator in all my books, so far, has been the older man/younger female relationship. Not always the main thrust (oh, I love that pun!), but, in each one, the May/December seems to surface. LaDonna, you mentioned one of my favorite authors, and my favorite novel of his.

And at this point, I can't think of any stories I have where they aren't. My heroines, though. What a pain in the butt it is to come up with jobs for them. Deborah, in Yesterday's Child was an illustrator. Children's books. But when she loses her son this line of work becomes too painful for her, and she quits. Since she is rich beyond belief, she doesn't need to work and basically makes finding her son into a full time job. In the WIP, Bree owns a pet cafe, in this touristy little section of Seattle. They also do a pretty booming business of homemade, mail order pet treats. LaDonna,

Haven't actually done it, though there's one book where the ending appears to be The World Ends (I write fantasy mostly). LaDonna, I mostly only want to blow up the town at the end.

It's fun to let the imagination take flight, aka make things up! My life might appear boring to the casual eye. But, we know different. Liz, I think that’s why I love my paranormal elements.

Hmmm. I've worked in fast food restaurants, nursing homes, an insurance company and lastly law firms as chief bottle washer and peon. This is where I point out that I write paranormal and fantasy. Would much rather make stuff up as I go. Far more interesting than civil litigation. Write about what you know? Hmmm.

Wow, I didn't know that. And I know what you mean about feeling unknowledgeable when it comes to cops. Officer Friendly should help ya out on that. Good idea. I love doing stories on secondary characters too. It's like visiting an old friend. And Karin, sounds like fun at the rant-fest! Eli, a Science teacher? Wow, I didn’t know that.
