I like to write bastards! Especially tall, dark handsome bastards in a suit. It’s more fun to explore and dissect the psyche of someone real and flawed with issues, than a cardboard nice guy. I also like to make them work hard for their redemption. Sometimes that takes more than one book.
Here’s the top 10 bastards I have written.
1. Dexter Summerfield (Uptight American adrift in the UK. Absolutely not gay. Highland Fling and Beautifully Haunted, Wildcat series)
3. Lucifer (Fallen angel. I am Fallen)
5. Luc Tessier (Temperamental French chef with a hatred for food critics. Table for Two series)
6. Sean Keller (Sheriff hiding a dark secret. Clear Water Creek series)
7. Kane Kessler (Cruise liner captain fucking his way around the world. The Captain’s Man and The Captain’s Beloved)
8. Heathcliff Hart (Public school boy turned bastard in a suit. Last Drop Falls).
9. King Kavan (Vampire persecutor and all-round sadist. On the Wings of the Vampire).
10. Blake Astor (Bent cop and rent boy-john. Sin Row and Sinful).
I think it speaks volumes about bastards 1 and 2 that Lucifer could only manage to hit number 3 on the hit parade!
