The Hero's Point of View
I had someone make an interesting proclimation to me yesterday -- she said that it was a rule, a major rule in romance that you HAVE to start out in the heroine's point of view. That it was a major no no to start out in the hero's.
Well, Jason's Accord begins in the female's point of view -- but it's what starts the drama. Jason's a closet alpha -- he's got the tendencies, but he keeps them pretty bottled up until he needs them. He's really a sweet guy -- just with some issues around honesty.
But that statement kind of blew me away. There I sat thinking I'd missed something very major. Then I heard from such well known authors as Kate Douglas, Karin Tabke and Carolyn Jewel that they'd never heard of such a thing and.....their major alpha guys lead off their stories.
So, what do you think when you open a book and it starts with the guy's point of view?

Michael LaRosa
Michael started out as just a regular guy. The best friend. The one without the alpha's sex appeal. The guy your mom wanted you to bring home when you wanted the other guy.
When I finished writing America's Hero I thought a bit about Michael and though that the part that takes place on Amazonia sounded a bit like the kind of story that would happen to Michael.
Well, my editor, Bea, for Jason's Accord quickly developed tender feelings for Michael. Okay, they weren't exactly tender like a little brother. She saw the character as what he could be. I'd already pretty much thought about doing Michael's story, but with Jason's Accord 30 days away and America's Hero on its way, I really like the idea of doing Michael's story. Stay tuned!
