I love a good Byronic hero – remember to sign up for the wee blog if you haven’t already to find out. And also, don’t forget to sign up for the Wee Mailing List to find out what the Eighth question might be.

Aleks Zolotov is Amalphia’s primary Love interest within the pages of Tendu, the hero to her heroine – could you share with us some of the inspirations that helped form Aleks as a character?

Aleks, as he is in the beginning of the story (he will grow), is a type of man who is not uncommon in the theatrical world. He’s achieved great success; he’s handsome and admired. He’s also experienced the loss of his career, something that has left him with some insecurities. His ego and his behaviour can be out of control at times. Life is a bit of a performance, or even a game, to him, especially when he’s triggered or threatened. He will pay for his naughtiness, though. FOREVER…

Oh Alex’s, what have you brought upon you? 😆

Instead of my usual closing remarks I shall leave you with these words…
