I had this weird dream a few weeks ago where Elena from The Vampire Diaries was about to marry Edward from Twilight. For some reason, Brad Pitt, who was some kind of  monster, kidnapped Elena before the wedding. When he was injured trying to keep the other monsters away from her, she healed him. Thus turning him into something with a soul. He returned her to Edward. They were married and then the real drama began. She was really in love with Brad by then.

I’m sure a dream analyst would have a field day with that one. But it made me think about unlikely pairings. And who would I choose in certain hero situations. For me a choice between Edward and Stefan (Vamp Diaries), well, I’d have to go with Edward. Poor Edward may be kind of a perv, but Stefan’s too whiny.

Now, if you had Sean Bean from Game of Thrones and Viggo Mortenson from Lord of the Rings, I would not be able to choose. That is how I like my men. Super alpha. They’ll do anything to protect what they believe in. And they aren’t afraid of a good fight.

I’ve come up with a fun little game for you to play. It’s called pick your hero. They’re all from the world of entertainment, and feel free to add a few of your own when you post your answers below. Let’s see who our favorite hero turns out to be.

Who would you choose? And if you can, tell me why.

1. Sean Bean in Game of  Thrones or Viggo Mortenson in Lord of the Rings?

2. Gibbs (Mark Harmon) or DiNozzo (Michael Weatherly) on NCIS?

3. Damon (Ian Somerholder) from Vampire Diaries or Jacob (Taylor Lautner) from Twilight?

4. George Clooney as Batman or Christian Bale as Batman?

5. Nathan Fillion as Castle or Matt Bomer as Neal on White Collar?

6. Justin Timberlake or Blake Shelton?

7. Nick (Jake Johnson) or Schmidt (Max Greenfield) from New Girl?

8. Sam (Jared Padelecki) or Dean (Jensen Ackles) from Supernatural?

9. Brad Pitt (Moneyball) or Jean Dujardin (The Artist)?

10. Rick (Andrew Lincoln) or Shane (Jon Berthnal) from The Walking Dead?

I can’t wait to read your answers! And someone who answers all the questions, will win an autographed copy of Model Marine!

Happy Valentine’s Day Y’all!

Hello! First off, let me say there’s absolutely no pressure in being the first author to post on our very sexy and beautiful Blaze Blog. I mean, I’m not going to let the fact that I’m one of the newest additions to the Blaze Babes intimidate me or anything. ::Smile::

I will tell you that I’m excited to be in such wonderful company. Many of my favorite authors are Blaze Babes, and it’s honestly like being a part of the coolest sorority on campus. The one where they look like perfectly respectable girls on the outside, but they know how to get down and dirty and have a really good time. Their writing is stellar, and they tell such incredible stories.

Since I am new to the gang, I’ll tell you that I come from the world of paranormal romance. The “Charmed & Dangerous series,” “The Demon King and I” and the upcoming July release “Dragons Prefer Blondes,” are some of my books. My new Blaze, which doesn’t have a title yet and comes out in February 2010, is a whole new world for me to explore. One with spies and intrigue, that I’m so excited about, it’s hard to sleep at night.

While writing it I actually fell for my hero, Jackson, in a big way. I told my husband that if Jackson showed up on my doorstep tomorrow, I was packing my bags. Seriously hot. I’m not kidding. I’ve loved the heroes in all my previous books, but I wasn’t in their heads like I was Jackson. I want to have his babies.

I want to know about your favorite heroes. Who sends your heart racing? They can be from film, television and books. What is it about them that makes you feel that way? Are you more of an Edward (Twilight) lover, an Indiana Jones type or Jason Bourne? Um, Mr. Darcy, anyone? I kind of adore all them for different reasons. So tell me. I really want to know.
