Which five female lead characters from novels would I have dinner with?

If I could have dinner with five "killer" women of fictional proportion, I'd happily take these ladies:

5. Mercy Thompson 

She is half Indian and a skin walker as her father's heritage gave her the ability to became a coyote at will. Her main squeeze is an alpha werewolf named Adam who loves her enough to keep pulling her tail out of unfortunate accidents. Cough Cough. Her best friends are werewolves, a metal goblin, and a sullen vampire as she deals with a pack that isn't happy taking her in, a vampire kiss that has a grudge against her, and her constantly stepping on the toes of the fae community. 

***

4. Rachel Morgan

She's a witchy witch with a streak for catching the bad guy as a supernatural runner (bounty hunter) and police consultant. Even though she fought to be a white earth witch, her DNA takes her well out of her land of comfort and into the underworld that stains her kind soul. She lives with a sexy vamp named Ivy and a pixie named Jenks who also are her partners in their partnership of their company Vampiric Charms. And did I mention the demons? Have ley line, will travel.

***

3. Riley Jenson

This woman is a half shape shifting werewolf and half vampire who also has a twin brother named Rhoan. They both work for a paranormal division that protects and serves, but in more than one form. Her life is on the line in her day job but it's her sex life that is more dangerous as she is the source of power that a certain few are killing to get. When you add a sexy vamp named Quin and a few yummy men that are lined up for her full moon cravings, steam rises from the blood edged pages.

2. Cat Crawfield

This farm bred lady is also a half breed because her vamp daddy left mommy with a few surprises that no one was expecting. The hate that she grew up being fed from her bitter mom left her to hunt what was part of her blood lines, vampires. Then she comes across the target that bites back, Bones, with his sleek style and sexy British accent. He begins schooling her in more than one way as they realize they aren't just the killers but being hunted as well but heir love keeps them going.

***

1. Anita Blake

No surprise here, if you pay attention to my FB and blogs. If I could ever turn into a bad ass heroine from the fictional shelves then this would be who I aimed for. She's a necromancer, Preternatural Marshal,l but also the human love of the Master of the City of St. Louis, Jean Claude. Sadly, she finds out that not only is able to call the dead but she carries more than one strain of lycanthropy. Being all of this is tough but throw in a vengeful vampire council plus growing unearthly power and this lover of many is over the top delicious.

I guess that I have a "type". These are mostly "take charge" women who dare to live and love the way they want to. It doesn't hurt that they happen to be curvy, sexy, and sassy. Wink.

What about you, who would you choose?

Stalking Characters

Just yesterday (when I was a day off posting this blog), I saw on Facebook that Jill Shalvis had posted this and I instantly knew that it had to be on my page.

Some of the authors (that I've been graced to meet) know that I stalk them from afar (like waaayyyyy over here). It's people like Sherrilyn Kenyon, Kelli Kamryn, Laurell K Hamilton, Tanya Michaels, Jeaniene Frost and Lynn Rae Harris (etc etc etc). They should know that I do this, cuz I'm personable enough to tell them. I don't creep and that's why I'm allowed to Fangirl on them. I admire their gifts and would love to grow into the type of talent that they share with the world. 

Here's where the topic comes in. Stalking Fictional Characters.

If you had the power to stalk any of your favorite characters, then who would it be and why?

First off:

Anita Blake and Jean Claude

Anita is a total Kiss Butt lady with a soft spot for stuffed penguins and Jean Claude is a suave manipulator with a lust for power (and Anita). I read these books over and over but keep falling more in love with them. I aspire to make a couple this drawn to each other. 

***

Hello Ivy Tamwood :-)

I know that she's not the main character but I'd love to see some Ivy books. She's yummy, dark, and mysterious. Ivy is an integral part of balancing out the fire that is Rachel Morgan. 

***

Crispin AKA Bones

Okay, I typically am not into blondes. BUT, this one I'd take on a secluded vacation, for two. He's secure, sexy, and bad to the bone. Um, he lays people out. Oh, uh, fangtastic? Giggle. I'll stop there.

***

Drake Vireo

This wyvern is hotter than Hades on a southern summer night. Even though he's cocky as all get out, he could slay me anytime. I totally understand why he annoys the panties off of Aisling Grey. And boy, howdy.

***

I may not have gone in depth with each of these but my mind is too worn out to think that intensely about them before I go to bed. Wait.....um.....I'll see you guys later. But first, who would you stalk and why?

Favorites - Authors

My favorite authors and they just happen to be all women.

1. Laurell K. Hamilton
 

 

This divine woman is #1 on my list because not only did she make me want to push harder at my creative boundaries, but with her fierce drive to keep Anita Blake going for 20+ novels. Anyone who can last that long deserves a medal of honor, in my honest opinion. The Cosby's didn't even last as long as the astounding Anita Blake! Ms. Hamilton's books are on my MUST BUY List, for the rest of my paranormal loving days. Thank you for giving me a piece of what I needed to push through and write what was in my bottomless heart. It made the difference and always will.
 

2. Sherrilyn Kenyon
 

 

I was lucky enough to meet this woman, twice actually. She had a smile on her beautiful face and a heart that made me want to make her proud as a fellow paranormal author. She has driven more than one series to the limits and I'm inspired by her loyalty to the voices in her head. Her stories reminded me of the softer side of romance and my need for more of that. Thank you, Ms. Kenyon, for shedding some candlelight on the lonely romantic soul inside of me.

 

 3. Kim Harrison

 

 

 

I have her here because for my Christmas gift to myself (2012) I bought all of The Hollows Series. I was loving it. Thankfully, Cheryl Hart had given me a gift card to pay for some of it :-). I have these books all together and will read them several times. This set of stories showed me that I needed to dig deeper into what made the characters tick, faults and all. I embraced that and fight myself to see who I love more, Ivy or Rachel. Thanks, Ms. Harrison.

 

4. Kresley Cole 

 

 

 

 Immortals After Dark - need I say more? This pure yumminess of a series is sexy, sassy, and wonderful to sink your teeth into. She had me at A Hunger Like No Other and I'm looking to buy them all. Her level of romance is enough to have me smiling as I turn the pages and you can bet that I'll have all of them by the end of the year. I tip my pirate hat to you, Ms. Cole. Thanks for the nommage.

 

 

5. Keri Arthur

 

I love Riley Jensen. She's a delicious combo of badass and bodacious. I love the development of this character and her devotion to her twin brother. You showed a chaotic lifestyle with a passionate love life that had me wanting to add a dash of spice to my manuscript recipe. I have some of these books,(sorry and I'll rectify this soon), and have already started rereading them. Ms. Arthur, I want you to know how much joy I received from reading this series. I had my pompoms ready to see Red-Headed Riley triumph again.

 

 

 

Ladies, again I want you to know what you mean to me. I cherish the time that I spend on your spellbinding characters. I buy the novels as a constant reminder of where I need to be with my future in the writing industry. I aspire to inspire, as you have done the same for me.

 

 

)))Corset Hugs((( and a toast to your fictional futures, may they burn brighter than the stars.
