I loved reading A Knight's Vengeance and My Lady's Treasure and I will have to get a copy of A Knight's Temptation as well. <br /><br />I think a past tragedy does make a dark hero stronger. It takes a certain type of person to be able to overcome a tragedy.

I love these medieval romances with the knights in chain mail and secrets. <br /><br />I do believe that a dark hero can become stronger after a past tragedy, in large part because he's forced to think back to the root of the tragedy and confront any of his own actions that might have compounded the tragedy/his problems.<br /><br />All that guilt and Gaby317https://www.blogger.com/profile/10246618515307982406noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15221076.post-70677366740578583832009-05-20T19:52:14.775-05:002009-05-20T19:52:14.775-05:00Sounds great!Sounds great!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03070426155040395096noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15221076.post-57421547096221080532009-05-16T09:45:00.000-05:002009-05-16T09:45:00.000-05:00What an intriguing hero Aldwin sounds like.

I reference this to write the book, but if my muse offers me a great idea that fits the story and characters better than what I came up with in my initial outline, then I'll run with that new idea.<br CatherineKeanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08199528515003734239noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15221076.post-85527418053176054302009-05-13T13:26:00.000-05:002009-05-13T13:26:00.000-05:00This comment has been removed by the author.CatherineKeanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08199528515003734239noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15221076.post-58330773080842067942009-05-13T13:23:00.000-05:002009-05-13T13:23:00.000-05:00Hi Lee! *Waving* Great to see you here, and thanks...Hi Lee! *Waving* Great to see you here, and thanks for your kind words about my writing. :)CatherineKeanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08199528515003734239noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15221076.post-46708710089534877022009-05-13T13:05:00.000-05:002009-05-13T13:05:00.000-05:00Catherine, you're such a great author, and your lo...Catherine, you're such a great author, and your love for the heroes and the times you write about shows in everything you say.
