I may bring it up on the board when I try and explain what it is...giving you credit of course. Unsung heroines or heroes inspire me. I love to hear stories of people who do incredible things for others without asking for recognition or wanting to bask in the limelight. <br />Carolyn McCutcheonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04505732730959271307noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-133132309124375119.post-6131110993001985522015-07-07T11:00:15.970-04:002015-07-07T11:00:15.970-04:00You know, I just pretty much love people--most of ...You know, I just pretty much love people--most of them.

He inspired me with his selflessness. His tenderness. And his constant urging for me to grow in whatever direction I wanted. He just gave and gave. He didn't have a six pack or muscles. He did have endearing blue eyes. We had almost fifty years together before I lost him to a brain tumor. I'd rather have him on the cover of my books than a hunk.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08603020659102765866noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-133132309124375119.post-9070558797442315012015-07-07T10:15:59.423-04:002015-07-07T10:15:59.423-04:00My children are my inspiration, Liz.

As for heroines, I write strong, stubborn, women who think and believe they can conquer anything.

I'm bored with the semi naked/naked torso's of men seen on a lot of today's covers. But that said, I am inspired by my heroes when writing my stories, my poor heroine always needs more work in rewrite. :)Robena Granthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18389730409379890816noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-133132309124375119.post-20575084505651093282015-07-07T09:20:42.815-04:002015-07-07T09:20:42.815-04:00I'm inspired by history.

I like to see pictures of the hero on the cover but I like to see their faces. To me, faces are much more interesting and appealing. Which means I hate totally "headless" covers.

A couple of months back it was pouring outside and I'd just come out of BJ'S on the way to my car. While I was trying to figure out how I was going to get a multitude of bulk items into my trunk in the pouring rain I noticed that someone in a car that was pulling out of the same parking lot kept stopping and looking at me. Well it was an older man. He got out of his car and insisted on loading my trunk and then he took my cart back to the store for me. He was my hero!! He was probably at least 30 years older than me, but I have many physical issues including bad hips and just remembering that day brings tears to my eyes. Thanks for your post. It brought back great memories.

They commit an act of bravery, usually in defense of someone they love, that surprises them. But, the hero knew she had it in her all along.<br />Great post, Liz.<br />Is that a nurse shark? They're really great smoked.Sandra Daileyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14096003641160112825noreply@blogger.com
